Truck & Off-Highway Engineering - June 2024 - 29

EXECUTIVE VIEWPOINTS
in December of last year, permit the use of combination
trailers of up to 113 feet (34.5 meters) long with a GCW
of up to 100 tons on specific Swedish highways.
According to statistics presented by Volvo from the
Volvo states
that 50% of its
new trucks -
approximately
75,000 units -
will be zeroemission
by 2030.
The big picture
So how do these strategies converge? Investing in the production of
electric trucks (as well as fuel cells) while also producing the company's
largest and most powerful IC engine ever may seem counterintuitive
to Volvo's goal of net-zero emissions on the surface. But there is a
method - and science - to this Scandinavian brand of madness.
Regulations that on one hand appear to be squeezing ICE out of the
picture have opened opportunities for behemoths like the D17. For example,
the Swedish government recently enacted new length and
weight regulations for Class 8 trucks. These regs, which went into effect
Swedish government, it is estimated that utilizing these
longer and heavier trailers reduces energy consumption
by up to 30% for individual routes and by 4-6% when
extrapolated across the transport industry. These figures
also reportedly apply to other propulsion systems
such as BEVs and hydrogen fuel cells. Volvo estimates
that one 34.5-m tractor-trailer can carry the same
freight as two or three conventional trucks.
That said, Volvo projects that battery and fuel-cell
electric trucks will begin to take over share of the
truck market in the coming decades. According to
company projections, battery and fuel-cell trucks will
overtake sales of ICE units sometime between 2030
and 2040, with market share between the three propulsion
systems stabilizing around 2040.
" We are committed to our emissions goals: 50% of
our new trucks will be zero-emission vehicles by 2030.
And 100% of our new trucks will be zero emission by
2040, " Alm said. " Our entire global population of
trucks will be zero-emission vehicles by 2050. "
