Delivery of the vehicles is planned to commence in Q4 2022. The new trucks will 
be used for transport in the DFDS logistics system in Europe.

“Green investments in the heavy transport industry are a prerequisite. That’s to
reach the emissions reductions needed for DFDS, our customers, and society in general.
Our partnership with Volvo [Trucks allows DFDS](https://greenlivingguy.com/2025/10/bzr-electric-volvo-coach-offers-high-mileage-solutions/)
to offer further low-emission transport solutions, already in high demand among 
customers. We hope such investments will increase the demand for [green infrastructure solutions across Europe,” says](https://greenlivingguy.com/2010/10/green-october-living-guy-book-tour-updated-with-radio-interview-on-daily-green-website/)
Niklas Andersson, Executive Vice President and Head of Logistics Division at DFDS.

## Volvo FM Electric truck

With a [Volvo FM](https://greenlivingguy.com/2022/04/20-major-sports-organizations-earn-ioc-carbon-action-awards/)
Electric truck, it´s possible to drive up to 500 km during a workday, with a fast
top-up charge, for example during the lunch break. The Volvo FM Electric has a gross
combination weight of up to 44 tons. People can charge it overnight at [the Home Depot](https://greenlivingguy.com/2024/07/bulb-recycle-at-the-home-depot-a-sustainable-solution/)
and via high-power fast charging on the route.

Volvo Trucks’ serial production of [electric](https://greenlivingguy.com/2025/08/mack-electric-truck-launches-in-new-york-city/)
trucks dates back to 2019. It’s one of the very first truck brands to do so. The
product range now includes six [electric truck](https://greenlivingguy.com/2022/09/bz4x-electric-production-model-announced-in-japan/)
models. For example, the Volvo FH, Volvo FM, Volvo FMX, and Volvo FE. In addition,
Volvo FL, and the Volvo VNR, in North America.

Of the [electric trucks in Europe](https://greenlivingguy.com/2025/06/electric-truck-highway-transforming-logistics-in-europe/)
so far this year, Volvo Trucks has a market share of just over 40%. That’s 16 tonnes
and heavier.
