Australian logistics company Linfox<\/a> is making big moves to electrify its heavy-duty semi fleet with the addition of thirty new Volvo FH and FM Electric semi trucks as the Swedish brand works to begin production at its Brisbane facility.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Volvo Trucks is expecting to begin full scale production of its FH and FM Electric semi trucks at the Brisbane factory in early 2026, just in time to fill the Linfox order \u2013\u00a0which happens to be the company\u2019s largest in Australia. So far.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very proud to continue our close partnership with Linfox. The order for 30 Volvo electric trucks is proof of their trust in our company and in zero-emissions transport as a viable solution here and now,\u201d said Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks. \u201cOur commitment to start building electric trucks in Australia demonstrates our confidence in this technology, and means we can offer an industry-leading range of purpose-built electric trucks all around the world<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the production kickoff of electric trucks in Australia<\/a>, it means Volvo Trucks is building its big HDEVs and prime movers in five countries on three continents. Which, as the company\u2019s electric fleet approaches the 100 millionth mile logged mark, probably means they\u2019re pulling well ahead of some of the other guys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cLinfox is excited to partner with Volvo in driving the future and leading sustainable logistics in Australia,\u201d explains Peter Fox AM (Member of the Order of Australia), Executive Chairman of Linfox. \u201cFurther electrifying our fleet sets the standard for us and our customers and the entire industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Linfox\u2019 latest order includes 29 Volvo FH Electric and one FM Electric semi. The company currently has four electric Volvo trucks in its fleet of 195 semis, with plans to continue to electrify as ICE-powered assets reach retirement.<\/p>\n

Now counting miles in operation in the tens of millions<\/a>\u00a0and rolling out its third generation of electric semi trucks, Volvo (and, by extension,\u00a0Mack<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Renault<\/a>) continue to build a huge lead in the commercial trucking space. The competition, meanwhile, seems content to post pictures of its first factory while trucks that have been on order for years still haven\u2019t reached customers.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t see how they (Tesla) catch up from here.<\/p>\n
