Volvo Malaysia explains why its electric trucks only come with 300km of range - SoyaCincau

Volvo Trucks has officially launched its fully-electric heavy duty prime movers in Malaysia. In fact, the launch in Malaysia also marked the debut of the Volvo electric trucks in Southeast Asia.

The first adopter of Volvo electric heady-duty prime movers in Malaysia is the Swift Haulage Berhad, following the MoU that it signed with Volvo last August. The two Volvo FM Electric that it has acquired is just the start of the company’s plan to convert the majority of its fleet to EVs by 2030. Given the relatively long charging time, it might seem like a challenge to utilise these EV trucks but Volvo seemed confident that this this can be addressed through proper scheduling. Using the industry’s common operational time of between 8 AM to 6 PM, William has presented a rather interesting proposition during the event.

The company is also currently in the process of deploying another DC fast charger at its Port Klang dealership which is expected to go live by the year-end according to Amanda. Ultimately, other Volvo Trucks dealerships throughout Malaysia will have chargers as well. Unlike electric trucks that sip power from battery packs, a traditional truck will continue to burn diesel and release harmful gases while idling. Using a Volvo FH truck as an example, the company also said that the electric version has the potential to use up to 50% less energy than its diesel-based counterpart under similar driving conditions.

Since they are made according to customers’ requirements, usages, and other related factors, there is no exact figure when it comes to the starting price of these Volvo electric trucks. Nevertheless, it generally costs upwards of RM1.2 million to have them as part of one’s fleet.Volvo’s name has always been synonymous with safety and things are no different for its electric trucks. Hence, the list of safety features that customers can choose to fit into their trucks is rather impressive.
