Volvo Trucks tests hydrogen-powered electric trucks on public roads for the first time. The tests have been conducted above the Arctic Circle in the north of Sweden \u2013 in an extremely cold climate. Last year, Volvo Trucks showcased its fuel cell electric trucks for the first time. These zero exhaust emission trucks use hydrogen to produce their own electricity onboard \u2013 making them suitable for longer transport assignments.<\/p>\n
Fuel cell electric trucks powered by hydrogen will be especially suitable for longer distances and when using only batteries isn\u2019t an option: for example, in rural areas with no charging infrastructure. Emitting only water vapor, hydrogen-powered fuel cell trucks will be an important part of Volvo Trucks\u2019 zero exhaust emission product portfolio. Now, the vehicles have passed a milestone \u2013 namely, being test-driven on public roads.<\/p>\n
\u201cTrucks are operating seven days a week and in all types of weather. The harsh conditions on public roads in northern Sweden, with ice, wind and lots of snow, make an ideal testing environment. I am pleased to say that the tests are going well, confirming tests we carried out beforehand, both digitally and on our confined test track close to Gothenburg,\u201d said Helena Alsi\u00f6, VP Powertrain Product Management at Volvo Trucks.<\/p>\n
