Volvo Trucks is offering more powerful batteries for its medium duty truck range, the FL and FE Electric.
These new batteries are claimed to offer a 42% increase in energy capacity, allowing the trucks to travel up to 450km (280 miles) on a single charge.
The improved FL has a range of up to 450km and the FE up to 275 km (170 miles).
An increase in capacity results in the use of fewer batteries for the same power.
In addition, a payload increase of 500kg could also be obtained for every battery not carried.
This extended range means trucks can handle various routes and assignments in urban areas, while also providing increased power for energy consuming tasks like refuse handling and city construction.
