By Dominic Chopping

 

STOCKHOLM--Swedish truck maker Volvo said Monday that it has agreed to sell 1,000 electric trucks between now and 2030 to building solutions provider Holcim.

The first 130 heavy electric trucks will be delivered to markets including France, Germany, Switzerland and the U.K. during the fourth quarter of 2023 and throughout 2024, it said.

Volvo said that by replacing 1,000 existing Volvo diesel trucks with electric vehicles using green electricity on a typical route, up to 50,000 tons of carbon dioxide could be saved every year.
