Volvo FM Electric
The Volvo FM Electric is a smooth, agile, heavy-duty truck perfect for high-capacity deliveries, container transportation, bulk liquid transport, crane services in regional locations and in and around urban areas. With an increased range of up to 470km, choose between five motor power levels, with a maximum total output power of 540 kW and combined with an 8-speed transmission for electric trucks you’ll feel the difference behind the wheel.
Essential services. Dedicated support
Volvo Trucks has been a proven partner in the field of electromobility since 2019. As well as our long history of innovation in developing electric vehicles, we’re committed to delivering complete solutions that extend well beyond the truck – like extensive digital services and support packages that make the electric transition smooth.
Charging made easy
The Volvo FM Electric supports a combined charging system (CCS) with DC fast charging, the industry standard for heavy-duty electric transport. With up to 350 kW charging power at below 750 V, it can charge from 20% to 80% in around 60 minutes, which is great for depot charging or planned stops.
Putting power to good use
The transmission power take-off (PTO) is clutch-independent and limits the need for an electro-mechanical PTO in many applications. For road-building sites, that means vehicles can be driven slowly while distributing gravel.
Range for your needs
With a range of up to 470 km, the latest generation of Volvo Trucks battery technology lets you optimise the performance of the FM Electric for your applications. If a lower range covers your needs, you can go for fewer batteries and instead increase your load capacity substantially.
With our local esperts to assit with range and route analysis, we are here to help you all the way from planning to completion of your applications and routes. There is no guess work. With our experience we can ensure that your electric solution will create the best outcome for your operation.
Energy-efficient drive unit
The Volvo FM Electric is equipped with a drive unit optimised for electric vehicles. Developed with powershift, a driveline designed to provide low energy consumption while offering smooth acceleration, seamless gear shifting, and minimised performance losses. It also maximises the recuperated energy, ensuring maximum range and energy efficiency.

All in one unit
The Volvo FM Electric has a powerful and energy-efficient drive unit that integrates the driveline, power electronics, and transmission. With two electric motors and an eight speed transmission with powershift, you get seamless gear shifting and smoother acceleration.
Power, made useful
Developed for a range of applications the electrical power take-off (ePTO) delivers reliable electric power with easy body builder access, making integration simple and efficient.
Long-lasting energy
With flexible battery configurations, the energy-efficient system delivers up to 540 kWh of onboard energy, with up to 410 kWh available for use
Putting you in control
Intelligent drivability features deliver smooth starts, precise speed control and confident grip, helping reduce driver effort while keeping productivity high in all conditions.
One-pedal driving
Great for in the city or on the highway, one-pedal driving offers stronger retardation power and the possibility to select a suitable retardation level for a smoother ride.
Auto Go
Keeps the vehicle moving at a set minimum speed, which is perfect for tippers driving at low speeds. At a standstill, when the brake pedal is released the truck will start to move at a speed of 1,5km/h.
Change Direction
Faster and smoother transition from forward to reverse, with direction changes possible of up to 30 km/h – ideal for tight maneuverability on construction sites.
Active Grip Control
Excellent traction grip and startability on surfaces like ice or building site gravel.
Covering all bases
We’ve created electric service solutions designed to address your range, uptime, and charging concerns – from full coverage service contracts to tools that simulate the transport assignment of your electric truck. Plus, you can access range and energy prediction tools and a network of growing and reliable public charging locations.
