Volvo Trucks Launches New Electric Axles
The invention of the electric vehicle (EV) has revolutionized the automotive industry and provided a sustainable solution to the environmental challenges posed by traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. EVs are powered by electricity stored in rechargeable batteries, eliminating the need for fossil fuels and reducing carbon emissions. One of the major advantages of EVs is their positive impact on air quality. Unlike internal combustion engines, which emit harmful pollutants such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide, EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions. This not only improves air quality but also mitigates climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, EVs offer significant cost savings in terms of fuel and maintenance. Electricity is generally cheaper than gasoline, resulting in lower operating costs for EV owners. Additionally, electric motors have fewer moving parts compared to internal combustion engines, leading to reduced maintenance requirements and expenses.
Despite these benefits, there are still some challenges that need to be addressed for widespread adoption of EVs. The limited driving range and long charging times remain concerns for potential buyers. However, advancements in battery technology are continuously improving these limitations.
Electric vehicles represent a promising solution to combat climate change and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. With ongoing technological advancements and increased infrastructure support for charging stations, it is expected that EVs will become increasingly popular in the coming years.
Volvo Trucks has launched a new all-electric rear axle at the IAA transport show in Hannover, Germany. The new electric axle integrates the electric motor and gearbox into the rear axle, freeing up more room for the battery.
More batteries mean a longer range, creating opportunities for long-distance transportation and electrification. Volvo Trucks will begin series production of trucks with the new electric axle within a few years, which will complement its current line-up of electric trucks.
"This is a breakthrough for electric trucks and a clear signal that there will be a great demand for public fast chargers for heavy trucks in the near future, especially on highways. We will continue to use our multi-purpose battery electric trucks that are already in production. They can currently cover a wide range of transport tasks. In a few years, we will be providing this new rear e-axle for customers who cover longer routes than we do now."
— Jessica Sandström, Senior Vice President, Global Product Management, Volvo Trucks
Volvo Trucks adopts a three-path strategy to achieve zero emissions: electric batteries, electric fuel cells and internal combustion engines running on renewable fuels such as biogas, HVO or even green hydrogen. Volvo Trucks has the broadest range of battery-electric trucks in the industry, with six different models in series production.
