Australian shipping firm orders 36 Volvo FL electric trucks

Posted by & filed under Fleets and Infrastructure, Newswire, The Vehicles.

Australian express freight company Team Global Express has ordered 36 Volvo FL electric trucks–apparently the automaker’s largest electric truck order in Australia to date. 

The Volvo FL electric trucks are designed for urban distribution and have a load capacity of 5.5 tonnes. They will become a part of Team Global Express Sydney’s metropolitan pick-up and delivery fleet and will be commissioned during the first quarter of 2023.

“We have the broadest electric truck lineup in the industry, which makes it possible to electrify city and regional transport already today,” said Martin Merrick, President of Volvo Group Australia.
