Volvo Trucks - Our first fully electric trucks in action - Duration: 2:53.

Electric trucks are no longer just a vision of the future.

They're here and now.

Volvo's fully electric-powered trucks,

Volvo FL and Volvo FE Electric,

pave the way for a cleaner, quieter urban environment,

to reduce climate impact

and equally decrease congestion and improve transport efficiency.

Volvo electric trucks will improve life in cities

due to less noise and less emissions,

and the working environment for truckers will improve as well.

Volvo's electric trucks are fully commercial vehicles

built for distribution, waste management

and other inner-city traffic work with total weights of up to 27 tons.

Each truck is optimised for its task

with the appropriate battery capacity and charging system.

So why drive electric?

There are many good reasons.

No exhaust emissions.

Less disturbing noises.

High energy efficiency and low climate impact.

Yes, practically none at all

if the batteries are charged with renewable energy.

Features that create completely new opportunities for cities to grow

and develop in a sustainable way.

Housing can be built in new places

and more transportation can be accomplished at night,

in order to reduce congestion during peak traffic.

Volvo FL and FE electric trucks will be able to reduce congestion.

by having a high load capacity

so we can replace many small trucks.

The technology used in Volvo's electric trucks is well proven,

verified in over 4,000 electrified Volvo buses.

The trucks recharge via fast-charging stations in one or two hours

or by industrial main supply overnight.

The truck's braking energy is also utilised.

The batteries operate one or two electric motors

that apply the energy efficiently all the way to the drive wheels.

It's not just the urban environment benefiting from electrified vehicles.

Drivers' working environment is also improved.

Less noise means less stress and reduced fatigue.

Exhaust-free operation provides cleaner air.

And the electric powertrain provides fast response and smooth gearing,

making the job more efficient and enjoyable.

And the journey has just begun.
