The Future Of Urban Logistics Is Electric, And Volvo Leads The Way With Its New FM Electric Model.
Let’s talk about an advancement that is making noise, but in the quietest way possible. We are talking about the Volvo FM Electric, a truck specifically designed for the city, with zero emission of pollutants and minimal noise.
As shown in a demonstrative video, this Volvo vehicle is not just a step forward; it is a real revolution in heavy transport.
Impressive Features
The Volvo FM Electric is flexible and has a range of axle configurations, from 4×2 to 8×4. The total payload capacity reaches 44 tons, with a range of up to 300 km. Not to mention that the truck offers a variety of cabins, from the low-profile day cabin to the Globetrotter cabin.

All of this is made possible by a battery that ranges from 180–540 kWh and can be fully charged in 9.5 hours with AC (43 kW) or 2.5 hours with DC (250 kW). Imagine the flexibility of operating in zero-emission zones or during times of day when diesel trucks cannot circulate. It’s a new level of efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Volvo Connect
For those who think migrating to electromobility is complicated, Volvo wants to prove otherwise. With the help of Volvo Connect, you can monitor the battery, optimize routes, and have tracking reports, all in one portal. The MyTruck app also allows the driver to control the parking heater and check the charge status, among other functions.
Power And Smoothness In Steering
The electric powertrain of the Volvo FM Electric consists of two or three electric motors coupled to an I-Shift transmission, specifically designed for electromobility. With a power of up to 490 kW (666 hp), the truck also features a unique traction control system developed to handle slippery surfaces.
The video and report from Volvo itself confirm: the mass production of heavy electric trucks is gaining traction. There are already four factories producing these vehicles: three in Europe and one in the US. It’s a significant phase for the company and for the future of transportation.
