While other semi truck brands hide delays and missed deadlines behind press releases and fake updates, Volvo Trucks is busy cementing its position as the heavy-duty EV leader, thanks to great market share and a certified dealer network that’s seen 8,200% growth this decade.
Beginning with TEC Equipment in Fontana as the company’s only certified EV dealer in July 2021, Volvo Trucks’ BEV sales network has expanded quickly to 83 certified locations across 33 US states and four Canadian provinces, with four new dealer groups recently joining the program and another 13 rooftops currently in the certification pipeline. Those dealers have helped Volvo Trucks gain a leading position globally and maintain more than 30% market share in the North American electric truck segment over the past five years.
“Reaching this milestone is a testament to our customers’ commitment to sustainable transportation and our dealer network’s dedication to supporting them every step of the way,” explains Peter Voorhoeve, president, Volvo Trucks North America. “The path to zero emissions is shaped by market conditions, which are moving slowly. We remain committed to our vision to create a world we want to live in by using zero emissions solutions in combination with fuel efficient combustion engines with reduced climate impact. Solutions that will work for our clients where sustainability meets affordability.”
So far, those dealers have deployed over 700 battery electric semi trucks ( out of 5,700 globally) that have logged more than 20 million zero-emission miles and eliminated an estimated 34,000 metric tons of CO2 – the equivalent of over 7,000 passenger cars.
Electrek’s Take
Via Volvo Trucks.
I’m struggling to reconcile Volvo’s true net zero rhetoric and seemingly dedicated push towards progressive and sustainable business practices with the US branch’s recent attempts to weasel out of their deal with California and, more specifically, CARB. Volvo is a leader in this space, and they should also lead by example where it matters.
