Putting the Volvo FM Electric to the Test 🚒 The NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) recently took the Volvo FM Electric on a 550km journey to test how low-emissions vehicles can fit into their future fleet. Towing a water tanker, the RFS team put the electric prime mover through its paces - averaging 88.7 km/h with an impressive energy consumption of 1.24 kWh/km. This trial is an important step toward understanding how battery electric trucks can help emergency services reduce emissions while maintaining operational performance. With just 120 minutes of charging time along the route, the RFS team noted that anyone familiar with Volvo trucks could easily transition to the electric version. As Cameron Bettany, VP of Governmental Sales, puts it: “Fire and emergency services are at the frontline of climate change, and reducing emissions is critical - not just for the planet, but for the health and safety of first responders.” Volvo is proud to be at the forefront of sustainable solutions for emergency services!
