Volvo promises to phase out all diesel trucks

In a significant announcement, Volvo Trucks now promises that the brand will stop selling diesel-powered trucks. The majority will be gone by 2030, management believes.

In a surprise announcement, Volvo Trucks has announced that it is phasing out all diesel trucks from its range. This bombshell of news marks a radical shift in strategy for the Swedish truck giant, which is now fully committed to electric vehicles.

"We are convinced that the future of heavy transport is electric," says Roger Alm, director at Volvo Trucks.

– With this decision, we are taking a decisive step towards creating a more sustainable transport system.

Volvo Trucks has invested heavily in the development of electric trucks in recent years. They already have a wide range of electric models on the market, covering everything from distribution trucks to regional transport and construction trucks.

The phasing out of diesel trucks will happen gradually over the coming years. Volvo Trucks expects the majority of its sales to be electric trucks by 2030.

– We know that this is a major transition for our customers. That is why we will continue to offer support and service for our diesel trucks for many years to come, says Roger Alm.

Volvo Trucks' decision to phase out diesel trucks is a sign that the transport industry is changing rapidly. But how the trucks will be electrified is still an open question. Volvo is also working on hydrogen, among other things.

– We see an increasing demand for electric trucks from our customers. They want to reduce their CO2 emissions and contribute to a more sustainable future, says Roger Alm.
