Volvo Unveils Its First 100% Electric Truck

Volvo launches its first electric propulsion truck model, the Volvo FM Low Entry. A model designed for urban use.

The newest addition to Volvo Trucks’ electric truck range, the Volvo FM Low Entry, is the first truck model ever developed by Volvo available solely with electric propulsion. As more cities impose emissions-related restrictions, it is a vehicle specifically designed to meet a wide variety of urban transportation needs.

Designed for the city

This large flatbed truck offers a low driving position, ensuring visibility and environmental awareness. Its technical basis is the well-known Volvo FM model with a lowered cab shifted forward. The low step and flat floor facilitate mounting and dismounting the truck.

Three seat options are available for 1 to 3 passengers. In the latter option, all three passenger seats are located at the rear of the cabin without impairing the driver’s field of vision.

Volvo’s guaranteed modularity

 It is available in two heights: 1,575 mm with a sleeper cab and 1,945 mm with an extended/high sleeper.

• Available axle configurations: 4X2, 6X2, 6X4, 8X2, 8X4
•  GVW: 19-32 tonnes
• Engine: 330 kW
• Battery: 360 kWh spread over 4 units
• Range: up to 200 km
• Charging: 250 kW (DC), 43 kW (AC)
• Wheelbase: 3,900-6,000 mm

The new Volvo FM Low Entry will initially be sold in Europe, including Turkey, as well as in Australia and South Korea. Orders are expected to open in the first quarter of 2024, with production starting in the second quarter of 2024.
