That is how things are done: you make improvements without changing the aesthetics in a radical way, by doing this will be easier for people and the industry to adapt to the changes

[@experimental_av]

there is simply no need to change most of the parts of such a truck to make it electric. those buyer care little about aesthetics

[@maheshodedra3783]

Superb truck and video

[@benedictoloo2394]

[@aozsafak]

how does steering system works? electric motor driven hydraulic pump?

[@1978Prime]

I would be worried about it being too quiet if i was driving it. Sometimes people don't are complacent or don't notice you until you put the exhaust brake on.

[@bayramaksin]

noice

[@Timberjack4995]

It will be fun when there is not enough charging current for all electric vehicles anymore!

[@Krugmaster]

Timberjack4995 Yeah, the power grid hasn't improved in the last 20 years, let's try to calculate 100% ev usage into our energy grid today! Nice idea

Tesla need to step up there game. Volvo FTW

[@Modestasgailius]

You're comparing Volvo which is in the game for 90 years vs Tesla for only 15 years.

[@GavinY]

I bet the Chinese are wondering , we have these 5 years ago

[@jordankungalov5992]

Why not just switch to biofuel? It would be more practical and powerplants of the vehicles would not need a change.

[@tutomukimuraisw11k]

Hawk 6.2.0.1 maybe Volvo trucks does not think about.

[@groszmartoncsaba4025]

[@byJoYo]

I'm never going to drive an electric vehicle!

[@dotcom8074]

Could you give a reason? You don't have to, it's your choice, but I'd like to know why you wouldn't.

[@tgk300xx4]

Because Diesel is so much better. Have you ever heard of rolling coal?

[@martongrosz1882]

Hm many people suicide in own car ...you can.t do it in electric car?

[@NorthemTed90]

Biodiesel, gas, hidrogen...electric trucks doesnt runs in 1919, will not run in 2019.
