Not only electric, Volvo announced the launch of the first pure electric non-fossil steel heavy truck

CTOnews.com, November 12 (Xinhua) according to Volvo officials, Volvo trucks were the first to use non-fossil steel to make trucks. At present, the first batch of pure electric non-fossil steel trucks have been delivered to customers in Europe.

Volvo said that in September, Volvo trucks began mass production of electric heavy truck models. The maximum total weight of this batch of models is 44 tons, of which some electric heavy truck models will use non-fossil steel, which is the first batch of non-fossil steel electric heavy trucks in the world.

▲ source: according to Volvo, some Volvo electric heavy truck models serving customers such as Amazon, Danish United Steamship Co., Ltd. (DFDS), Dutch transportation company Simon Loos and Unilever will also be made of non-fossil steel.

In addition, the first batch of non-fossil steel made from hydrogen energy has now been used to make the frame stringers of electric heavy trucks, which carry the main parts of trucks. With its increasingly wide application field, non-chemical stone steel will also be used in other heavy truck models in the future.

CTOnews.com has learned that Volvo data show that new Volvo truck models are now made of about 30 per cent of recyclable materials. At the same time, 90% of the trucks can be recycled after they reach their useful life.
