Volvo is driving the electrification of transportation and equipment, helping customers reduce carbon emissions and tackling sustainability issues.

Similarly, Singapore's Green Plan 2030 is a nationwide strategy aimed at advancing the country's sustainable development goals. The collaboration between these two major stakeholders could pave the way for a more sustainable future in Singapore.

DSV’s global presence

Volvo Trucks has 4,200 electric trucks operating in 46 countries. DSV, the world's largest transport and logistics company, is a key customer, having signed a deal earlier this year to purchase 300 electric trucks from Volvo for use in its European operations.

Volvo FL and FM EV trucks for Singapore market

In Singapore, the FL Electric, with a compact design and agile turning radius, is ideal for urban distribution and last-mile deliveries.

The FM Electric, larger in size, supports long-haul operations with a higher payload capacity. Both models feature all-electric drivetrains for quieter, more cost-efficient operation with lower maintenance costs compared to diesel vehicles. Customised for DSV's needs, the FL has 3 batteries and the FM has 5, providing extended range and versatility for local operations.

What’s next for Volvo Trucks?

Volvo Trucks will enhance the electrification of heavy trucks globally with the 2025 launch of a long-range FH Electric truck. Capable of traveling up to 600km on a single charge, it will allow for longer routes. This extended range is made possible by Volvo’s e-axle technology, which increases battery capacity, alongside improvements in battery efficiency, management systems and powertrain performance.
