According to the website Olhar Digital, Volvo Trucks is leading the revolution of electric vehicles with the launch of the Volvo FM Low Entry, a truck optimized for safe and efficient driving in urban areas. With capacity to carry up to 32 tons, the vehicle is part of the company’s efforts to sell at least 50% of fully electric models by 2030.
Based on the FM model from Volvo, the Volvo FM Low Entry has a spacious lowered and forward-mounted cab, with a flat floor to facilitate entry and exit from the truck. It is equipped with four onboard batteries, totaling 360 kilowatt-hours of capacity. This configuration offers an estimated range of 200 km per charge, considering that trucks consume more energy than a regular electric car.
