Volvo Trucks has achieved a milestone of over 80 million kilometers driven by its electric trucks globally since 2019. This accomplishment has resulted in saving over 25 million liters of diesel and a reduction of 68,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. In 2023, Volvo saw a significant increase in global deliveries of electric trucks, and the trend continued in 2024 with strong customer interest.Volvo Trucks has delivered over 3,500 electric trucks to customers in 45 countries across six continents. Volvo expanded its electric truck presence in regions like Latin America, Morocco, South Korea, and Malaysia in 2023. Volvo Trucks' achievements, the benefits of electric trucks, customer interest, expansion into new markets, and the range of electric truck models offered by Volvo.  Roger Alm|Volvo Group| Volvo Trucks Follow Humans Of EV #ev #evnews #electricvehicle #evcharging #evbattery #evindustry #evs #evchargingstation #humansofev #volvo

🚀 Partner spotlight : Volvo Group 🚀 Did you know that : 1️⃣. Volvo Group launched its first electric bus into service on the streets of Gothenburg, Sweden in 2015 🚌 2️⃣. Volvo Group’s first fully electric truck was launched back in 2018. Since then, they have driven more than 80 million kilometers in service around the world 🚚 3️⃣. The first electric construction machines from Volvo Group were launched already in 2019. There is now a full range of electric machines available with supporting power units 🏭 Discover more about Volvo Group’s approach to electromobility at #EVS38 in Gothenburg, Sweden June 15-18, 2025 #EVs #electricmobility

EVs will require ‘battery passports’ starting in 2027 In early June, news broke that each electric vehicle sold in the EU would have to be equipped with a battery passport 📃 The document will include the battery’s identification number and information about the origin of its raw materials, the carbon footprint of production and transportation, battery type and performance, and recycling details. The data will be accessible via a QR code on the battery. The stated goal of the initiative is to increase transparency and accountability in the EV battery supply chain. Volvo Cars, taking the marketing opportunity, stepped ahead as a pioneer, having introduced a battery passport for its new EX90 SUV, nearly 3 years ahead of the EU regulation. While a battery passport will allow authorities, recyclers, and consumers to better understand the origins and environmental impact of EV batteries, I find it to be a camouflaged EU’s leverage to resist Chinese dominance in EV component manufacturing. As a way to seize control of the component chain, Europe aspires to produce a 100%-European battery meeting the market requirements, including a ‘nordic’ battery for harsh weather performance in northern countries. Great plans, little action, though. I think that dreaming big won’t take us anywhere: the European EV industry is a sort of fiction at the moment. To counterbalance China, we need to grow component chains inside the EU. An outstanding example here is Northvolt, which specialises in lithium-ion technology for EVs. The more companies like these Swedes join the industry in the EU, the better our chances of outweighing rivals and establishing a sustainable European resource-to-roadway battery supply chain. #battery #electricVehicles #EVs #ev

Moving to a #digitalsupplychain provides greater #visibility and helps address #countryoforigin issues - I am curious what you are noticing on the Canadian and US side of the border Flavio Volpe, C.M. Nino Di Cara -Thoughts? #ev #evbatteries #automotive

Hey, what about #FossilFuel #passports with barcode scannable at any fuel distribution outlet, also showing; the lot’s identification number and information about the origin of its raw materials, the #carbon footprint of usage, production and transportation, fuel type and performance, and recycling details. I think that would be fair!

Volvo Group gives up its 2030 EV-only target Volvo was the one of the first to commit to a fully-electric future. In the past, Volvo aims to produce only electric cars by 2030. However, now the company expects that 90% of its output will be a mix of EVs and plug-in hybrids. CEO Jim Rowan cited market challenges, lack of charging infrastructure, reduced consumer incentives, and lower demand as reasons for the shift. This announcement comes up during a slowdown in EV sales and trade tariff uncertainties, following similar decisions by other automakers like Ford Motor Company. Where will the future of EVs go?

The The Wall Street Journal shares the news that EX90s from Volvo are being delivered in the EU and US this year with battery passports, powered by Circulor, which show the provenance and material journey information of lithium, cobalt, nickel and graphite.  Andy Leyland, co-founder SC Insights | Intelligent Logistics, rightly comments that “transparency is crucial for supply chains associated with the energy transition, with both consumers and governments wanting to know that materials and components are sourced responsibly.” With market requirements now taking effect in the US and in Europe in 2027, the time for pilots and experiments has passed. All automakers need similar transparency and should start today… #BatteryPassport #Sustainability #EVs #Traceability 

Supply chains are vast and shrouded in layers of complexity. Most companies lack sufficient visibility into their supply chains, yet they often account for the majority of a company’s environmental impact. This is a significant step forward in ensuring sustainable and ethical practices in supply chains.

Exciting news from Volvo Cars! In collaboration with Circulor, Volvo is launching a groundbreaking supply-chain tracker for its electric vehicles (EVs), allowing customers to trace the origins of key raw materials like cobalt, lithium, and nickel used in their batteries. This innovative "battery passport" enhances transparency and promotes responsible sourcing, addressing the increasing scrutiny on the environmental and social impacts of EV materials. This initiative is not just about compliance with upcoming regulations but represents a significant step towards sustainability. With the European Union mandating battery passports by 2027, Volvo's proactive approach sets a new standard in the automotive industry. The passport will provide detailed information on raw material origins, CO2 footprint, recycled content, and battery health, aiding in better recyclability and lifecycle management. At Earth Responsibility Score, we applaud Volvo and Circulor for their commitment to sustainability and transparency. This effort aligns perfectly with our mission to promote responsible practices in industries critical to the energy transition. By shining a light on supply chains and ensuring ethical sourcing, Volvo is paving the way for a more sustainable future. #Sustainability #EV #BatteryPassport #ResponsibleSourcing #Volvo #Circulor #EarthResponsibilityScore #GreenTech #Transparency #SupplyChainInnovation

Volvo Trucks is set to revolutionize long-haul transportation with its new FH Electric truck, boasting a 600 km range on a single charge and expected to launch in late 2025. ⬇ 🔋 By maximizing battery space and integrating electronic axle technology, Volvo is addressing the needs of customers who require longer hauls. This innovation combines the motor, gearbox, and axle into one unit, boosting battery capacity. 🌍 The company is ramping up its green investments, but Volvo Trucks emphasizes that broader adoption of zero-emission vehicles hinges on stronger political action and consistent green policies across Europe! 🚚 Despite a cooling heavy truck market in Europe and the high costs of electric trucks, Volvo is committed to expanding its presence, including a new $700M plant in Monterrey, Mexico, set to support its North American growth strategy. #automotive #truck #transportation
