Volvo says its VNR Electric has exceeded 10 million miles (16 million km) of zero-tailpipe emission operations with customers.
The company has deployed nearly 600 VNR Electrics in the U.S. and Canada, with customers ranging from an owner-operator to fleets with more than 100 battery-electric trucks.

“Surpassing 10 million miles with the Volvo VNR Electric is a monumental achievement that reflects the dedication of our customers, partners, and more than 65 Volvo Trucks Certified EV Dealers across North America,” said Peter Voorhoeve, president, Volvo Trucks North America. “In October we celebrated reaching 8 million miles, and now we’ve hit 10 million. This progress is a testament to the trust and commitment of those who believe in our vision for a sustainable future.”
The trucks collectively travel more than 200,000 miles a week.
However, Voorhoeve acknowledged there have been challenges in scaling heavy-duty zero-emission solutions.
“Although the battery-electric deployments have not scaled as quickly as we anticipated or hoped for, Volvo Trucks remains committed to decarbonizing transportation,” he said. “Our customers are logging an increasing number of miles every day, proving that the shift is not only possible, but is underway. We are optimistic about accelerating the adoption of sustainable technologies through our strong partnerships with our dealers, customers and organizations like PACT (Powering America’s Commercial Transportation).”
