"Volvo Trucks has unveiled a new long-distance electric truck which boasts up
to 600 kilometres of range and batteries that can be charged in just 40
minutes.
The FH Aero Electric, unveiled this week, can have 8 batteries on board with
total capacity of up to 780kWh, thanks to its new driveline technology, the
so-called e-axle, which creates space for significantly more battery capacity
onboard.
The batteries themselves are adapted to the new MCS (Megawatt Charging System)
standard and can charge from 20 to 80 per cent in just 40 minutes – within the
legislated rest period for truck drivers within the EU.
The new Volvo FH Aero Electric can accommodate a total weight of up to 48
tonnes and boasts a payload capacity that Volvo Trucks claims is “close to that
of a conventional diesel truck” thanks to an extra supporting tag axle (6×2
axle configuration).
Available with a standard cab, the new FH Aero Electric expands Volvo Trucks’
fleet to what its president, Roger Alm, describes as “the industry’s most
complete offer of electric truck transport solutions.”"
