Volvo's FH Electric has twice the range
Volvo's new FH Electric is more than just an incremental improvement. That's a quantum leap. With twice the range of the previous generation, this truck is poised to make long-distance electric transportation a reality. The current model has a range of approximately 186 miles, but the new range will be up to 373 miles, opening up a whole new world of possibilities for carriers.

Why do semi-trucks have twice the range?
So how was Volvo able to double the range of its semi-trucks? The answer lies in innovative e-axle technology. This clever design integrates the electric motor and transmission into the rear axle, freeing up space for more batteries. Combined with more efficient battery designs and improved management systems, e-axles are the key to long-haul electric trucking.
It's too early to say about charging times since it's not yet released, but the company says charging speeds are generally faster for electric trucks. For those concerned about how the weather will affect the vehicle, that being said, as with all EVs, cold temperatures can affect range.

It's about maintaining efficiency and productivity in an increasingly environmentally conscious world.
