Volvo Trucks North America continues to lead the transition to electromobility, with more than 700 Volvo VNR electric trucks now operating across the United States and Canada.

Together, these vehicles have logged more than 20 million zero-tailpipe-emission miles, eliminating an estimated 34,000 tons of CO₂ — the equivalent of taking more than 7,000 passenger cars off the road for a full year.

These North American results contribute to Volvo Trucks' global momentum in heavy-duty electrification. Since launching its first electric trucks in 2019, Volvo has delivered more than 5,700 electric vehicles across 50 countries, which have collectively driven 155 million miles. Volvo Trucks continues to hold a leading position globally and has maintained an average of over 30 percent market share in the North American electric truck segment over the past five years, according to Volvo.

"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," said Peter Voorhoeve, president of 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."

83 Certified EV Dealerships Across North America

Since TEC Equipment — Fontana became the first Volvo Trucks Certified EV Dealer in July 2021, the network has expanded rapidly to 83 certified locations across 33 states and four Canadian provinces. The latest additions bring four new states — Colorado, Louisiana, Maryland and Nevada — and four new dealer groups into the program. Another 13 locations are currently in the certification pipeline.

Certified dealers complete extensive EV training and invest in facility upgrades to deliver full sales and service support for battery-electric trucks.

Cutting CO₂ Across All Drivelines

Volvo Trucks is advancing cleaner and more efficient solutions across its entire product range. In North America, the all-new Volvo VNL delivers up to 10 percent better fuel efficiency than its predecessor. For a truck running 120,000 mi. per year, that translates to approximately 1,300 fewer gal. of fuel and a reduction of roughly 30,000 lbs. of CO₂.

Fuel-efficient combustion engines that can also run on renewable fuels are one part of Volvo Trucks' three-path approach to decarbonization — together with battery-electric and fuel-cell electric trucks.
