Volvo is also launching an upgraded range of electric models that will enable more transport segments and operators to shift from traditional fuels to electric. Volvo offers 8 different electric models and has sold more than 6,000 battery electric trucks in more than 50 countries.Highly efficient and flexible combustion engines with lower CO2The combustion engine plays an important role in Volvo%u2019s net zero ambitions. An all-new 13-litre engine platform is launched, which will be used for two engines %u2013 diesel and gas-powered.Both are ready from start for renewable fuels such as biodiesel and biogas, paving the way for transport companies to run their truck fleets with net-zero emissions. The next step in gas fuel is hydrogen-powered combustion engines which Volvo has begun testing on public roads with commercial launch planned to take place before 2030.Volvo%u2019s new battery-electric trucks will be produced in Gothenburg, Sweden and Ghent, Belgium, and rollout will happen step by step, starting 2026. The new combustion engines will be produced in Sk%u00f6vde, Sweden, with sales starting during the third quarter of 2026.Three paths towards net-zero emissions.Volvo Trucks drives the decarbonization of transport to reach its net-zero emissions target by 2040 using a three-path technology strategy. This approach is built on battery electric, fuel cell electric and combustion engines that run on renewable fuels like green hydrogen (produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity), biogas (bio-LNG), biodiesel and HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil).
