en.Wedoany.com Reported - Volvo Trucks has launched its new generation of heavy-duty electric trucks, including the FH, FM, and FMX models. The new models offer a range of up to 400 kilometers and support fast charging, taking just 60 minutes to charge from 20% to 80%. In terms of power, the dual-motor driveline delivers a maximum output of 540 kW (731 hp).

The new Volvo electric trucks are equipped with an 8-speed powershift transmission optimized for electric drive, offering smooth gear changes with low noise and vibration. Furthermore, an integrated transmission power take-off (PTO) can power auxiliary equipment such as concrete mixers and garbage trucks while driving, eliminating the need for an additional motor.

Tom Chapman, Vice President of Volvo Trucks Australia, said: “We are substantially raising the bar for product competitiveness, making electric solutions viable for a much broader range of transport applications." He added that this updated range means higher productivity can be offered to customers, and it has never been easier for operators to go electric. Chapman noted that Volvo firmly believes these electric trucks will carry a very large share of global truck transport in the future, “and when you see the stunning performance of all our new trucks, it's easy to see why."

The new generation of Volvo electric trucks will be available for order by Australian customers starting June 15, 2026. The range is designed to meet the diverse needs of the heavy transport sector, providing zero tailpipe emission transport solutions.
