Volvo Trucks intends to showcase its latest products specifically designed to achieve zero emissions and zero accidents at the IAA 2024.
Volvo Trucks Will Also Show New Technologies and Services at the IAA 2024
Volvo Trucks will display trucks with battery-electric powertrains, fuel cells, and renewable fuels in combustion engines at the IAA 2024 exhibition as a show of commitment to decarbonising transport in the present and the future.
At the IAA 2024, which will be held in Hannover, Germany, from 17 to 22 September 2024, Volvo Trucks intends to showcase its latest products that are specifically designed to achieve zero emissions as well as zero accidents.
The new Volvo FH Aero range, recently launched for Europe, Asia, and Africa including electric- and biofuel-powered variants, will be on display. The US market has seen the introduction of the all-new Volvo VNL on an all-new platform including groundbreaking autonomous technologies. IAA will be the first opportunity to experience the Volvo VNL in Europe. Both truck models were developed with fuel efficiency and safety in focus.
“I’m excited to see the reactions from customers and media on our new truck ranges and future technologies”, says Roger Alm, President of Volvo Trucks, in an official statement. “Our line-up at this year’s IAA will show the global strength of the Volvo Group and will demonstrate our commitment to reaching zero emissions and zero accidents – both are equally important for the success of our customers.”
The new Volvo FM Low Entry, Volvo’s first truck developed only with a battery-electric powertrain and extraordinary driver visibility for improved safety in the busy city environment, will also be at IAA. The iconic Volvo FH16 Aero will be shown with the all-new D17 17-litre highly efficient engine, adding power while reducing fuel consumption, and emissions. This truck has been designed for the toughest tasks and optimized productivity, and it is certified for HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) and biodiesel B100.
Volvo Trucks will also demonstrate its upcoming e-axle technology, tailor-made for Volvo’s next-generation battery-electric and fuel-cell electric trucks, enabling longer electric range as well as optimized drivability.
While Volvo has five years of experience with electric trucks in customer operations in 47 countries worldwide, hydrogen is the next step when it comes to future powertrains. Hydrogen for fuel cell applications and hydrogen in combustion engines are being developed in parallel to future-proof the company’s truck range for all markets and sustainable transport applications around the globe. Both hydrogen-based technologies are expected to reach customers towards the end of this decade.
Several of Volvo’s trucks at IAA will be fitted with Volvo’s new Camera Monitor System (CMS) which brings benefits both in terms of fuel savings thanks to improved aerodynamics, and enhanced safety through better visibility.
The Volvo lineup at IAA will consist of 8 trucks:
· Volvo FH Aero Electric 4×2 with Camera Monitor System (CMS)
· Volvo FH16 Aero 4×2 with HVO-fuel, XXL cab and CMS
· Volvo FMX Electric 6×4 with a 3-way tipper
· Volvo FM Low Entry 6×2 with skip loader
· Volvo FM Gas-powered 4×2 with CMS
· Volvo FE Electric 4×2 with skip loader
· Volvo VNL 860, with full specification
· Volvo’s Fuel Cell test truck
In addition to a wide range of truck models, Volvo will also show the new technologies and services that are in the pipeline for the next generation of trucks, including charging services for battery-electric trucks.
Visitors to IAA will find Volvo Trucks in Hall 21, booth B01 as well as a lineup of trucks for test drives on the IAA test track.
