Zero-tailpipe HGV deployed in the UK


Volvo Trucks has delivered a Volvo FM Electric 6x2 rigid to Joseph Parr, UK. It is probably the first zero-tailpipe HGV working for a builders’ merchant in the UK, Volvo said.

 

The new FM Electric will operate predominantly from the business’ Bradford depot, carrying out back-to-base customer deliveries. It will replace a diesel model in the business’ five-strong HGV delivery fleet.

 

Built on a 5,200 mm wheelbase, the rear steer tag axle FM Electric is powered by two electrical motors which generate 450 hp and will operate at a 28 t gross vehicle weight. A newly installed 43 kW AC charger at the company’s depot will allow the truck to charge overnight. (ben)
