Volvo Trucks say the deal is one of the largest commercial orders to date for its firm. With the order, DSV says it will have one of the largest company fleets of heavy electric trucks in Europe, part of its plan to deploy 2,000 electric trucks in its fleet by 2030.
The agreement also includes 500 Volvo trucks with highly fuel-efficient diesel and gas drivelines. All trucks are planned to be delivered between 2024 and 2026.
Roger Alm, President of Volvo Trucks, said: ” This order is proof of their trust in our company and shows that zero-exhaust emissions transport is a viable solution here and now.”
The new trucks being supplied to DSV will include the new Volvo FH Aero Electric, which has improved aerodynamics, making it even more energy efficient.
Søren Schmidt, CEO of DSV Road, said: “Collaboration across sectors is key to battle climate change, and we are happy to extend our partnership with Volvo in our joint effort to reduce emissions in the transport industry.”
