Re: Volvo to soon sell Electric Trucks in Europe

Various manufacturers are working on the development of larger cabins, following the new EU ruling. This LNG-powered Volvo scoop was recently spotted on a ferry from Germany to Sweden, probably coming back from heat testing somewhere in the south.

Quote:
Noticable is the long front overhang – almost like on a bus. Also, there are no outside mirrors, but a camera system.
The cab design is carerully hidden under a sheet, but when you look close you can spot the layout of the Volvo grill underneath. Also a part of the lower grille is exposed.
Volvo already has a longer cabin on offer, the XXL version of the Globetrotter. However, the existing long cab does not comply with the new EU ruling, so it can only be used legally with a shorter trailer. The new front may be added to this longer cabin, giving more interior volume. With the new front, the cabin will comply with the new EU ruling, so regular 13.60 meter long trailers can be used with this one.

Re: Volvo to soon sell Electric Trucks in Europe

Volvo Trucks overhauls its medium-duty electric truck duo.

Volvo Trucks has presented the new edition of its FL Electric and FE Electric trucks. Among other things, the medium-duty duo has been given more AC charging power and an electric power take off interface. The first deliveries of the revised models to customers are planned for the first half of 2024.

With a gross vehicle weight of up to 16.7 tonnes, the Volvo FL Electric is designed primarily for urban delivery transport and waste management. The Volvo FE Electric is an offshoot with up to 27 tonnes. The two electric trucks have been on the market since 2019 and, according to Volvo Trucks, are “sold in multiple markets across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia.” The new version is now available to order.

In addition to a battery update already communicated in the summer, Volvo Trucks has given the duo a visual update and doubled the AC charging power from 22 to 43 kW. According to the manufacturer, this will reduce the charging time with alternating current by around 50 per cent. Volvo previously stated 16.8 hours to 100 per cent SoC. In future, approximately 8.4 hours should be sufficient.

It will extend the range of the FE and FL Electric to up to 450 kilometres.

Three to six of these 94 kWh packs can be installed in the FL Electric, which corresponds to a capacity of 280 to 565 kWh and should enable a range of 280 (three packs) to 450 kilometres (six packs) in distribution traffic. The single-engine drivetrain remains unchanged. The 16.7-tonne truck continues to deliver up to 180 kW at its peak. DC fast charging is still possible with up to 150 kW at CCS charging points.

In the FE Electric, the improved battery is noticeable. With three to a maximum of four packs, the 27-tonne truck will have an energy content of 280 to 375 kWh and a maximum range of 275 kilometres. Volvo says this figure applies to distribution transport without an electromechanical PTO. With this feature – typical for refuse collection – range is reduced to up to 200 kilometres. There are no changes to the drive system here, either. The twin-engine drive is specified with up to 225 kW.
