Volvo Trucks will introduce all-electric truck demonstrators in California next year, and commercialise them in North America in 2020, as part of a partnership between the Volvo Group, California’s South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), and industry leaders in transportation and electrical charging infrastructure.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has preliminarily awarded $44.8 million to SCAQMD for the Volvo Lights (Low Impact Green Heavy Transport Solutions) project.
The Volvo Lights project will involve 16 partners, and transform freight operations at the facilities of two of the United States’ top trucking fleets.
