PreZero, part of the international environmental company PreZero International, which operates in ten European countries, has ordered 35 battery-electric trucks from Volvo. PreZero is also investing in EV charging equipment at the company’s depots in the Stockholm area.

PreZero has ordered 24 units of the Volvo FM Low Entry, Volvo’s first truck model developed exclusively for electric operation. The FM Low Entry features heavy load capacity, and is optimized for efficient driving in city areas. It can be adapted for various transportation tasks, such as waste management, distribution and construction.

The company is also ordering ten units of the Volvo FM Electric and one of the Volvo FL Electric.

All the trucks are equipped with Volvo Dynamic Steering (VDS), which enables steering with minimal effort and is designed to reduce driver fatigue. Most are equipped with Volvo’s new camera-equipped side mirrors, which are designed to improve direct visibility and night vision while limiting blind spots closest to the truck.

“We feel that Volvo Trucks is at the forefront when it comes to innovative development in safety and the environment,” says Mårten Widlund, CEO of PreZero. “Volvo’s high quality and extensive service network also give us security in our production, which is extremely important to us.”
