Volvo Trucks North America leads the market in deployment of Class 8 battery-electric trucks, with more than 570 Volvo VNR Electric trucks in customer operations since commercial orders began in December 2020. Collectively, these trucks have logged more than 8.5 million miles, transforming operations for more than 70 unique customers.

Customers are supported by a network of Volvo Trucks Certified Electric Vehicle (EV) Dealerships across North America, which continues to grow. Globally, Volvo has deployed more than 4,300 Volvo electric trucks in commercial operations in 48 countries.

Volvo Trucks North America has 64 dealer locations across 28 states—Alabama, Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin—and four Canadian provinces—British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Québec.

O’Connor Motor Company was just named as the first dealership in Maine to become a Volvo Trucks Certified EV Dealer after completing the in-depth training program requirements.

Volvo Trucks is progressing toward its goal of building a robust coast-to-coast dealer support network for battery-electric trucks, with 34 additional dealer locations across North America currently in the EV certification process.

Beyond its certified dealer network, Volvo Trucks has established a comprehensive support system that includes digital tools for route planning and total cost of ownership analysis, strategic partnerships to enhance public and private charging infrastructure, and training programs to develop the next generation of truck technicians.

Earlier this year at ACT Expo in Las Vegas, Volvo Trucks and Volvo Financial Solutions (VFS) launched the Volvo on Demand program, a collaborative initiative aimed at leading the industry in the Truck-as-a-Service business model. The program is targeted at fleets that want to experience the Volvo VNR Electric truck in their operations before they make the up-front capital investment required for purchase or long-term leasing.

Fleets can utilize a Volvo VNR Electric truck for as little as 12 months to experience Volvo Trucks’ total transportation solution ecosystem and gain valuable insights into their operations ahead of upcoming regulatory mandates and timelines.

VFS has also introduced new financing options for customers, extending beyond the truck itself to cover the installation of charging infrastructure and combining service and maintenance plans into single, convenient monthly payments. This approach spreads out the initial investment costs and provides essential resources for a successful electromobility transition.
