Volvo unveils its first truck model developed solely with electric propulsion. With the capacity for heavy loads and excellent driver visibility, the FM Low Entry is an electric truck optimized for safe and efficient driving in urban areas.
The new electric truck, Volvo FM Low Entry, received a five-star rating in the Direct Vision Standard, evaluating visibility and control for operations in London, effective in the fourth quarter of 2024.
This truck is adaptable for various transportation tasks, including waste management, distribution, and construction.
The cabin is designed to be spacious, low, and forward-moving, with easy access due to its flat floor and low step-in height.
Volvo plans to initiate sales of this model in Europe, Turkey, and South Korea in the first quarter of 2024, with production commencing in the second quarter of the same year.
This launch marks Volvo Trucks’ expansion to eight models of electric trucks, aiming for 50% of global sales of new electric trucks by 2030.
Key features include excellent visibility, Volvo’s dynamic steering system, various seating options, ergonomic features, an advanced camera monitoring system, and technical specifications such as multiple axle configurations, load capacity of 19-32 tons, 330 kW motor, 360 kWh battery, and a range of up to 200 km.
