Volvo has struck a massive electric sale, signing a cooperation agreement to provide global logistics company DSV with an order of 300 electric heavy duty trucks.

The trucks will be deployed across its fleet as a part of its plan to operate 2000 electric trucks by 2030. The order means DSV is now one of the biggest fleets of heavy electric trucks in Europe.

The agreement also includes 500 Volvo trucks with fuel-efficient and diesel drivelines. The 800 total trucks will be delivered between 2024 and 2026.

“I’m very proud to deepen the partnership we have with DSV,” says Volvo Trucks president Roger Alm.

“Collaboration and a strong commitment to really make a difference is essential for making sustainable transport and big Co2 reductions a reality.

“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 in the DSV order include the Volvo FH Aero Electric. Its fleet already includes a number of electric models from Volvo.

“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,” says DSV Road CEO Søren Schmidt.

“As a global leader in logistics, we must try to stay at the forefront of the green transition and this agreement is a fantastic example of how new technologies can be brought to market at scale to make them more accessible for our customers.

“The deal with Volvo is an important step towards enabling a more sustainable future in trucking.”

DSV’s trucks are charged across Sweden and Denmark through its established charging infrastructure, using electricity from solar panels at its distribution centres.
