Volvo has launched a new line of FH, FM, and FMX Electric HD and semi trucks with up to 700 km (~430 miles) of range. The new trucks feature Volvo's new e-axle driveline technology, which the company claims offers major improvements in flexibility, productivity, and driving comfort. The compact Volvo e-axele integrates a pair of electric motors and a six-speed gearbox into the trucks’ drive axles, freeing up chassis space for more batteries and enabling them to haul up to 28 tonnes of payload. The updated HDEVs will be released to dealers later this year.
