Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Using an AC charger with our medium-duty trucks, it takes around nine hours to fully charge the batteries. With a DC charger, having up to 350 kW of charging speed, you can charge batteries 20-80% of their capacity in 60 min.
Initially we believe that most trucks will be charged at the customer’s home base overnight. As electric vehicles become more common, there will also be the need to charge them in many different places, such as loading bays, service workshops, truck stops and other places where trucks are parked.
Electric trucks produce zero CO₂ emissions, lower noise and vibration levels, and deliver fast, responsive acceleration. This enables transport in zero-emission zones and during restricted hours, while improving driver comfort and reducing environmental impact. With no exhaust fumes, goods can even be delivered indoors. As more transport buyers set ambitious zero-emission targets, offering electric transport can also create new business opportunities.
In general, to make the comparison it is necessary to look at the total cost of ownership. The shift to electric trucks means a higher initial investment for the transport company, followed by considerably lower running costs. Electric trucks often also offer new business opportunities as they can transport goods to locations and at times that are not possible with fossil-fuel trucks. A growing number of cities are introducing zero emission zones where only electric vehicles are permitted. The suitability of the solution must be analyzed together with the local customers. Also, we believe the initial investment will be reduced as the volumes increase and the cost of batteries decreases over time.
Electric trucks in reality
Our electric trucks meet the needs of many industries, from urban distribution and waste management to regional haul and construction. By 2026, customers in over 50 countries are using Volvo’s electric trucks and more than 250 million km have been covered. In Australia, electric trucks have been in operation since 2021 with 145 currently on the road and 3 million kms driven and counting. Over the many years we’ve been working with electrification, we’ve built a strong expertise in optimising the use of installed energy, charging, and servicing of electric trucks across our dealer network. We also plan to trial local manufacture at our factory in Queensland.
Agricultural Transportation
Integrating new technology to an established fleet
Marley’s Transport, a leading provider of transportation solutions for the agricultural industry, are using a Volvo FM as part of this logistics fleet. This strategic move aligns with the company’s broader sustainability initiatives and demonstrates its dedication to adopting innovative technologies that benefit both the environment and the agricultural community.
Frank Marley, Owner of Marleys Transport reflected on the company’s progression “my dad always said “if you don’t stay at the front, you will get left behind” which is a value we have always lived by. For us, this truck signifies our commitment to leading from the front with sustainability and alternative fuels.”
Last Mile
Metro delivery electrified
IKEA are using Volvo FL electric for their metropolitan deliveries. The trucks will be leased to IKEA transport sub-contractors as a part of its transport de-carbonisation strategy and will be put to work delivering IKEA products in metropolitan areas around Australia. The trucks have been fitted with lightweight bodies to promote productivity as well as efficiency.
Local Distribution
A step to decarbonising supply chain logistics
JR Stephens and Co and Rise of the Pheonix are using Volvo FM Electric and Volvo FH Electrics to transport components from local suppliers and warehousing to VGA’s Wacol Qld factory.
JR Stephens Managing Director, Nathan Stephens says of the new Volvo FM Electric, "This truck represents a huge step for us, and I’m proud that our company will be playing a part in VGA’s journey towards a fossil-free future. It’s a testament to the power of collaboration and the shared commitment to innovation that will drive us all toward a more sustainable tomorrow."
A sentiment echoed by Froniga Riani, Managing Director of Rise of The Phoenix: "Partnering with Volvo Group Australia on our decarbonisation journey has been a steep, yet rewarding learning curve, helping us set a new standard for collaboration in the move toward sustainable transport."
Refrigerated Transport
Fossil Free 'Fries with That'
Martin Brower, a key distributor for McDonald’s, has Volvo FL electric refrigerated truck delivering 7 days a week to McDonald’s restaurants across the greater Sydney metropolitan area. The truck can hold up to 4.6 tons and has up to 230 kilometers of range, tailored to the demands of urban restaurant deliveries.
Martin Brower works closely with the restaurant leader to find innovative ways to minimize environmental impacts and reduce transport emissions across their supply chain. They aim to achieve net-zero GHG emissions globally by 2050 and are targeting a 50% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030.
“While we recognise there is a lot of progress to be made in the heavy electric vehicle space, we are excited to work with Volvo to better understand how we can integrate this new technology into our fleet moving forward.”
Scott Hanigan, Managing Director ANZ, Martin Brower.
