DFDS, the shipping and logistics company in Northern America is seeing a growing demand for transport solutions with lower environmental impact. Previously the company had purchased 125 heavy electric trucks from Volvo and now they have placed another order of 100 Electric Trucks from Volvo.
Out of the purchased Volvo trucks, only 95 electric trucks are operational that are currently in Sweden, Denmark, Lithuania, Belgium and the Netherlands while 30 are due to be delivered in 2024.
Roger Alms, the president of Volvo trucks stated, “I am very proud to continue our close partnership with DFDS. This order for an additional 100 Volvo electric trucks is proof of their trust in our company. The big increase of DFDS’ electric truck fleet shows that zero-emissions transport is a viable solution here and now”.
This time the trucks will be of the updated and energy-efficient models of Volvo FH Electric and FM Electric that will be deployed in nine markets across Europe, including UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Sweden.
DFDS: Objective
Their purpose behind increasing the trade of Electric Vehicles is to bring sustainability to road transport and the motive behind this is not only to increase their sales but also contribute to the environment and be a supporter to more companies that are looking forward to decarbonizing their supply chains.
