Power, made useful

Developed for a range of applications, the electrical power take-off (ePTO) for both versions of the Volvo FH Aero Electric delivers reliable electric power with easy body builder access, making integration simple and efficient.

Three high‑voltage battery modules are shown in a clean studio setting, featuring stacked cell housings, structural frames, cooling interfaces, and top‑mounted electronic control units with high‑voltage warning symbols. The components are arranged to display both the internal module stack and the outer casing design.

Long-lasting energy

The Volvo FH Aero Electric is equipped with energy-efficient batteries with an on-board energy of up to 540 kWh,​ and Usable Battery Energy (UBE) of up to 410 kWh. 

Precision as standard

Engineered drivability systems combine to give you confident control in tight spaces, assured traction in challenging terrain and smooth, responsive performance on the move.

One-pedal driving

Great for in the city or on the highway, one-pedal driving offers stronger retardation power and the possibility to select a suitable retardation level for a smoother ride.

Auto Go​ 

Keeps the vehicle moving at a set minimum speed, which is perfect for tippers driving at low speeds.  At a standstill, when the brake pedal is released the truck will start to move at a speed of 1,5km/h.

Change Direction​

Faster and smoother transition from forward to reverse, with direction changes possible of up to 30 km/h – ideal for tight maneuverability on construction sites.

Active Grip Control​

Excellent traction grip and startability on surfaces like ice or building site gravel.
