Volvo’s heavy-weight EV trucks can mix concrete

Volvo has been working on electric trucks. They just released a concrete mixer. These big rig vehicles will help to electrify transportation and construction. If the cement in the mixer were also low carbon, we’d really be getting somewhere.

The leading truck manufacturer has a heavy-duty electric lineup that can operate at a total weight of 16 to 44 tons, designed to cover everything from city distribution and handling to construction transport and regional hauling. 

Volvo’s latest zero-emission heavy-duty solution, the FMX electric concrete mixer truck, is a big step toward eliminating emissions in the construction industry.
