Segment leader in Europe for heavy electric trucks for the fifth year in a row, Volvo Trucks is leading the transition to zero-emission transport. This map shows the increase in activity from Volvo electric trucks in Europe from the beginning of 2023 to mid 2024. The red part shows where most electric Volvo trucks are in operation – Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland. “In order to accelerate the shift to zero-emission transport, it’s not sufficient that we have the electric trucks ready. According to our analysis, we will need 40,000 fast chargers along European roads, for a potential total of 400,000 electric trucks by 2030. We also need more efficient economic policies that make electric trucks operations profitable for all transport companies,” says Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks.

That’s why we’re launching a global mentoring program within our #tecHER community - connecting early-career professionals with senior leaders across Volvo Group. These mentors bring experience, perspective, and an understanding of what it takes to grow and thrive in the industry. Mentorship is more than just career advice.

We’re curious about what’s most important for you when choosing an employer. Please share your thoughts below!

Trucks, buses, construction equipment – and more. Battery electric vehicles are an essential part of our future transportation, mobility, and construction systems. The latest proof: Volvo Buses has received a major order of 106 electric buses from Svealandstrafiken in Sweden. This order includes 60 Volvo 8900 Electric intercity buses – the first since the model's launch last year – and 46 Volvo 7900 Electric Articulated buses for city operations. These buses will contribute to: ✅ Quieter, more sustainable public transport, both within cities and on regional routes ✅ Reduced emissions and improved energy efficiency Demand for electric buses for intercity and regional services is increasing across Europe, and the Volvo 8900 Electric is well-suited for this type of traffic.

We are proud to share that Volvo Trucks is the market leader for electric trucks in Europe and North America. “We are proud to be leading the transformation to zero emission transport. We have a very strong electric truck portfolio for regional, city and construction transport. Our next electric truck to the market will be running longer distances of up to 600 kilometers on one single charge,” says Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks. Volvo Trucks’ total electric fleet has now covered more than 140 million kilometers in customer operations worldwide. That’s a big step toward zero-emission transport - but there’s still more to do. Scaling up the transition will require stronger charging infrastructure, a more favorable cost structure for operators, and policy support for zero-emission transport. The shift is happening, and together, we can accelerate it.
