Volvo Electric Heavy Trucks — Built in Queensland for Australia
Reported byCleanTechnica ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Volvo has rolled off the first electric semi-truck trailers manufactured in Australia at its Wacol facility near Brisbane, marking the first electric trucks made by an OEM in Australia; Linfox has ordered 30 units for metro runs with a 300 km range, with federal government AU$70 million support.
The 300 km range limits these trucks to metropolitan routes and won't serve longer interstate runs.
