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.
Safety
It’s apart of our DNA
The VNR Electric comes standard with Volvo Active Driver Assist, our collision avoidance technology. Combined with high-strength steel cab, heads-up display, and battery safety, the VNR Electric builds on our industry-leading safety technology.
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.
Charging
Fully charged
The operating range of up to 275 miles is supported by a robust 565 kilowatt hour storage capacity.
Power when you need it
With a CCS1 connector and a 250kW charger, the energy storage system can be fully charged 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 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.
