Volvo Group is leading the charge towards a sustainable future as demand for fully electric trucks and buses continues building globally. Volvo Group<\/a> delivered a total of 683 electric trucks in the first quarter of 2023, up 254% year-over-year (YOY).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Volvo Group, the parent company encompassing Volvo, Renault Trucks<\/a>, Mack Trucks, Nova Bus, and more, continues to pioneer fully electric heavy-duty vehicles.<\/p>\n

Best known as a global truck, bus, and construction equipment leader (they also make marine and industrial engines), the Volvo Group has been pushing the industry to new boundaries with innovations, including the three-point safety harness, unique designs to enhance efficiency, and the first fully integrated sleeper compartment. <\/p>\n

After releasing its first electric truck, the FL Electric<\/a>, in 2019, Volvo set the industry on a new, sustainable trajectory. <\/p>\n

Volvo followed it up with the more powerful VNR Electric<\/a> featuring a larger battery pack to boost range. This past year, Volvo added three massive 44-ton heavy-duty electric trucks<\/a> to its lineup, making it the industry\u2019s most extensive portfolio of zero-emission commercial options. <\/p>\n

The company\u2019s pioneering efforts are paying off, with electric truck deliveries surging 254% in the first quarter.<\/p>\n
