GOTHENBURG, Sweden — Volvo’s next-generation heavy-duty electric truck will be able to drive up to 600 kilometres on one charge.

The longer range represents a breakthrough for long-distance transport with zero tailpipe emissions, the company explains.

The new Volvo FH Electric will be available during the second half of 2025.

The truck will allow transport companies to operate electric trucks on interregional and long-distance routes and to drive a full working day without having to recharge.

Volvo states the truck’s 600 km range is due to the company’s new driveline technology, the so-called e-axle, which creates space for significantly more battery capacity onboard. More efficient batteries, a further improved battery management system and overall efficiency of the powertrain also contribute to the extended range.
