The Volvo VNR Electric

Zero Emissions

Stand for sustainability

As the global leader in zero-emission electric trucks, Volvo is committed to reducing pollution, noise, and traffic on crowded urban streets. When charged with renewable energy, the VNR Electric is highly energy efficient with no climate impact.

Proven performer

While the VNR Electric is revolutionary, the truck itself is immediately familiar, based on the highly popular Volvo VNR. Drivers will instantly recognize the maneuverability, visibility, and safety that are part of every VNR.

A great workspace just got even better

With electromobility comes several benefits like quieter cities, cleaner air, better traffic flow and a better working environment for all. Less noise also means less stress and reduced fatigue for the driver, improving their work environment.

We can’t compromise

The VNR Electric incorporates our highest safety standards in cab and chassis construction, with additional protection built into the battery cage. And includes the latest active safety features such as Volvo Active Driver Assist and lane departure warning.

Safety is standard

Included with the VNR Electric is Volvo Active Driver Assist, which is forward collision avoidance technology that helps drivers adapt and respond to changing traffic situations to help reduce the risk of collision. We take camera and radar technology and combine them together, working in unison to give the driver the best information available.

Battery safety

Collision tests. Barrier tests. Head impact tests. The VNR Electric cab has passed them all and they’re the toughest cabs around. You’re always well protected. Now, a side impact protection barrier integrated into the mounting system of the battery box.

Power when you need it

With a CCS1 connector and a 250kW charger, the energy storage system can be charged up to 80% in 60 minutes with a 4 battery configuration, and 90 minutes with a 6 battery configuration.

Charging infrastructure

Volvo Trucks will advise you as you select your third-party charging stations. We’ll also help as you define your requirements with local utilities.

Enhanced configurations

We now offer an expanded six-battery system for greater hauling flexibility, with 6x2 and 6x4 options capable of covering up to a range* 275 miles on a single charge. Additionally, our improved four-battery system is available in five configurations for both tractors and straight trucks, ensuring there's a VNR Electric model to fit your local delivery application.

Proven drivetrain

The VNR’s drivetrain is rated at 455 hp with up to 4,051 lb/ft torque. This allows for quick starts and excellent responsiveness in the close quarters of urban delivery. The fully-integrated driveline features Volvo’s two-speed I-Shift automated transmission for smooth acceleration. Our VNR Electric is capable of highway speeds.

Battery monitoring

Using the industry’s most advanced telematics and real-time diagnostic system, our battery monitoring service allows the Volvo Uptime Center to proactively work with customers. The system forecasts the remaining useful life of the vehicle battery packages, maximizing battery life and optimizing maintenance and charging procedures.

Connectivity

Volvo is the hands down leader in connectivity, and the VNR Electric is no different. We've developed a best-in-class, real-time diagnostic system, available in every truck we build. Unparalleled connectivity and service experts available 24/7.
