Volvo Trucks launches next-generation safety systems to protect pedestrians and cyclists
Busy traffic situations pose daily safety risks to vulnerable road users. This is why Volvo Trucks is introducing two safety systems focusing on protecting pedestrians and cyclists.
Jakarta, Indonesia - September 11, 2024 - Volvo Trucks together with its dealer PT. Indotruck Utama and PT. Eka Dharma Jaya Sakti have unveiled its first-ever electric truck at the 2024 Indonesia Mining Expo, marking a significant milestone in the nation's push towards sustainable transportation. The launch represents the first time a European-made electric truck has been introduced to the Indonesian market, setting a new standard for efficiency, sustainability, and innovation in the region’s transportation industries.
Up to 600 km on one single charge. That’s how far Volvo’s next-generation heavy-duty electric truck will be able to drive. The longer range represents a break-through for long-distance transport with zero tailpipe emissions.
Volvo Trucks and global logistics company DSV have signed a cooperation agreement for 300 electric heavy trucks. The deal is one of the largest commercial orders to date for Volvo electric trucks. With the order, DSV will have one of the largest company fleets of heavy electric trucks in Europe.
Volvo’s electric trucks have driven more than 80 million kilometers or 2,000 laps around the world since Volvo launched its first electric truck models in 2019. These trucks have reduced CO2 emissions and at the same time improved the working environment for drivers significantly.
A full range of new Volvo truck models can now be powered by 100% biodiesel, offering another renewable fuel choice for customers looking to reduce CO2 emissions from transport here and now.
Volvo Trucks has received an order for 100 electric trucks from logistics company DFDS. With this latest order, DFDS has almost doubled its Volvo electric truck fleet to 225 trucks in total – the largest company fleet of heavy electric trucks in Europe.
