Volvo Trucks North America announced that the VNR Electric has reached the milestone of 15 million miles in customer operations. Volvo said that more than 700 Volvo VNR Electric trucks are operating across the United States and Canada. Deployed by fleets of all sizes — from single-truck owner-operators to fleets with more than 100 battery-electric trucks. 

“We know that we live in a challenging time when it comes to deploying zero-tailpipe emission vehicles. There are long delays in getting charging infrastructure, regulatory uncertainty, including the future of grants and incentives to adopting battery-electric trucks. But we have continued to see customers defy the odds and add zero emissions vehicles to their fleet,” said Peter Voorhoeve, president of Volvo Trucks North America. “Globally, Volvo Trucks is in the lead when it comes to market share with battery-electric trucks. That lead includes also leading here in North America. We will continue to support our customers in their transition to sustainable transportation solutions by providing the highest quality products. That includes robust dealer support and innovative financing options.”

Vorhooeve went on to say that the company is planning a future launch of the VNL Electric. He touted its use of a proprietary e-axle and batteries. It will be built on the platform of the new Volvo VNL that was launched last year.
