The new electric truck developed by the giant Volvo puts the automaker in a leading position compared to others
According to the Olhar Digital website, Volvo Trucks is leading the electric vehicle revolution 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% all-electric models by 2030.
Based on Volvo's FM model, the Volvo FM Low Entry features a spacious cab that is lowered and moved forward, with a flat floor for easy 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 the trucks consume more energy than a common electric car.
