Volvo’s next electric semitruck goes 373 miles on a single charge

Will electric semitrucks beat out diesel?

Volvo’s commercial trucking division is launching a next-generation long-range version of its flagship electric semitruck, due out in the second half of 2025, with twice the battery range of the previous one. The extra range is thanks to Volvo’s new e-axle driveline tech design “where the electric motors and transmission is integrated in the rear axle, [which gives] room for more batteries,” Lind says. In addition to Volvo, automakers like Tesla and Daimler (parent company of Mercedes-Benz) are testing their own long-haul electric semitrucks in the hopes of electrifying the segment.
