Volvo were always the pioneers in a lot of segments. I work as a truck driver and I drove different brands of trucks, all of them actually :) and I must say Volvo has a special feeling, such a special feeling in fact I bought myself a Volvo personal car. I am sure through good policies across the EU, all of us the policy makers, the drivers, the transport companies and Volvo trucks can make it happen. Congratulations Volvo, it really is a big leap!
...sadly that is not the best for efficiency going forward as aerodynamics has a BIG impact on energy used especially at motorway speeds, the Tesla semi design shows this!

This is absurdly outstanding. The larger battery pack probably has around 600v-900ah as well as the motor has minimum 480-720v power, impressive for such demanding weight job. With this expertise acquired, you guys have the potential for developing an all-electric system for future main battle tanks up to 45 tons, think about it. ;)
There is no such thing as zero emission. It is just marketing. How much energy and materials are necessary for producing those battery packs? What about battery life? What about trade-in value of the truck after 10 years?
Call me stupid...but throughout this entire almost one hours long video; it's just people talking and gesturing nobody EVER showed the actual mechanics of the truck. PLEASE tilt the cab and SHOW THE DRIVE TRAIN AND THE BATTERY PACK!
The real cost of green tech is that 10s of thousands of people from sub Saharan Africa, PDRC especially risk their lives for about $ 1.50 a day digging hundreds of meters underground in unsupported mines to get cobalt and copper. While CEO"s and TV presenters in Europe get about in cloths whos price tag would feed a whole African town for a week. And for an added bonus their land and water source is often prisoned by tailing dams used by "Reputable mining companies" And just for a bit more fun, companies like Nestle steel their clean water and bottle it for European consumption, leaving nothing more the sewage for the locals to drink. May be you get one of your world saving trucks and take them some clean drinking water.. Countries of South and central America are suffering the same way. All tech has done is moved their aim from fossil fuels to rare earth minerals, and hidden their carbon foot print well out the way in 3rd world countries.
We focus on establishing sustainable and responsible sourcing of raw materials. This as an important and global strategic issue to our industry, as several of the substances and materials used are limited in supply and available in only a few countries. We address this by working with carefully selected suppliers, looking at alternative materials and substances, reducing the amount used and increasing the recycling. The EU is also very much aware of the issues with strategic raw materials and is putting policies in place, for example a new battery regulation.

I wonder if you realize that the name "Volvo" is based around the Engine and the European Clients that make it go round. It is not based on Electric, and as far as that is concerned, you will take a massive drop in sales, In Australia the Holden was the best selling Vehicle for a very long time until Australian Manufacturing stopped there, the sales just dropped off sharply an din only 10 years it is hard to see Holdens on the road anymore. It is never about the Name, it is based on the Support, so I predict that Tesla will soon dominate the European Market in Trucks because they were first and Volvo after that, Electric I mean!
Well, we all know that we need to find alternatives to diesel, electric trucks being one of them. However, there is no one silver bullet solution available to cut carbon emissions. We will see a gradual introduction of alternative drivelines including battery-driven trucks and gas-driven trucks over the next couple of years. Electromobility using hydrogen fuel cells has the potential to reduce the need for batteries in heavy long-haul transport in the longer term. The combustion engine will play an important role also in the long-term perspective. Today's truck engines are efficient energy converters that can run on diesel or various renewable fuels such as liquefied biogas or HVO, and the technology still has potential for further development. Much can still be done to reduce climate impact by developing today's technology through, for example, more energy-efficient powertrains, better aerodynamics, and lower rolling resistance. We also started series production of electric trucks already in 2019!
Honestly I’m more for the hydrogen fuel cell rather then battery electric and also don’t put up the energy requirements to produce hydrogen because electricity to charge a battery isn’t created by divine benevolence
"don’t put up the energy requirements to produce hydrogen" Why shouldn't we? If we are gonna compare electric vehicles to hydrogen vehicles, then we should be comparing the efficiency of the things that are different between them. The energy we use to power these two types of vehicles goes through 4 steps. For electric vehicles it is : 1, A powerplant generates electricity > *2, That electricity is used to charge a battery > 3, That battery is later discharged to create electricity again* > 4, That electricity is used to power a motor. For hydrogen vehicles it is : 1, A powerplant generates electricity > *2, That electricity is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen > 3, That hydrogen is burnt in a fuel cell to create electricity again* > 4, That electricity is used to power a motor. steps 1 and 4 are identical between the two types of vehicles, and aren't worth comparing. If one has a more efficient motor then the other could use the same type of motor. And if one gets its electricity in a country with mostly windturbines, then the other could do it to! But steps 2 and 3 are different and those two steps are worth comparing to each other because they aren't the same. They are different technologies that serve the same purpose of being a form of energy storage. Steps 1 and 2 of these two types of vehicles can (and should) be compared.
@@vulduv you are considering just the efficiency but not the impact the battery itself has on the environment (way more impactful than an hydrogen powered engine that is completely recyclable) and also the overall practicality of not having to wait an hour to get enough charge to do 300 kilometres (with proper infrastructure because if you don’t have a powerful charging point it might take multiple hours)
Lmao. Volvo make a quality product. That's for sure. Loved my Volvo when I was on the road. One of the best truck's I ever drove. That being said maybe in Europe freight only goes 186 miles, but in America those numbers aren't going to cut it. America is around 3000 miles coast to coast and the average long haul truck in America covers about 1000 miles a day. These truck's are not capable of taking the load.
Electromobility will play an important role for local as well as regional transport and the development of batteries and charging infrastructure will be important factors in its expansion. However, there is no one silver bullet solution available to cut carbon emissions. We will see a gradual introduction of alternative drivelines including battery driven trucks and gas driven trucks over the next couple of years. Electromobility using hydrogen fuel cells has the potential to reduce the need for batteries in heavy long-haul transport in the longer term.
@@volvotrucks wouldn't a long term solution be if battery technology doesn't catch up with the demanded range to just store charged batteries in gas stations/charging places? You could then switch the battery manually and there would be no need to wait hours for it to charge.
@@oivamickelsson3864 it wouldn't be that easy and it adds a lot of complexity plus you need EXTRA batteries waiting to be charged and when there is already is shortage, its not the best option. With 350Kw and 1Mw chargers going forward charging will be done when on breaks or overnight.
These trucks are not designed to replace long distance trucking for now, but more local (within 100-300 miles) of a depo. This is still what a lot of trucks do and are able to charge at the depo or when loading and unloading. Yes, in the future there will be trucks like the Tesla Semi with 600 miles of range and 1Mw charging but not for now. This is just the start of the electric (and possible hydrogen fuel cell) trucks so just be patient. Its like the Model T just came out and couldn't travel across the county but things will improve over time.

What i love about volvo trucks is the idea of keeping the traditional external design of combustion engines in their new generation of electric trucks

Good for green transportation and logistics industry 💚💚 great achievement Volvo.🙏💪
Good trucks keep it up VOLVO 💪❤️
@4:50min telling the story from Tony Seba ?
cool stuff 👍
I love you VOLVO ❤️
Thanks for your studies.
very useful broadcast volvo always in the beginning and the first in world of trucks
Nice love you TRUCK 😘😘
Very good video... but are trucks run day and night so when do you charge???? Are delivery locations are urban so no charge points??
VOLVO Trucks 💯%👍🆗🔝
Congratulations
