How can businesses adopt electric trucks in a way that’s efficient and fits their organisation? ⚡🚛

“Most transport providers are starting with just one or two electric trucks in their fleet. They’re learning how to drive them efficiently, how to plan routes, and how to work with the charging infrastructure. It’s a gradual shift, but one with major long-term rewards," says Maarten Alta, a researcher and lecturer in sustainable logistics at the University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam.

Wherever the work is, there’s usually a Volvo there.

Talk about fuel efficiency! ⛽⬇️

Kristen Cochrane, a driver for Neill & Brown, says: "I’ve just taken a full load to Italy via Frejus then back to Europort. Swapped trailers, tipped and reloaded in Belgium, now back in the UK. I’ve covered almost 5,000km and still getting 11.48 MPG according to the dash!"

To put this into perspective, our FH Aero set the 11.25 MPG* benchmark when tested by Commercial Motor, at 44-tonnes gvw.

Neill & Brown's FH Aero has beaten our record! 👏

*Commercial Motor (13.11.25) tested the Volvo FH Aero 460 6x2 with I-Save around the CM Scottish test route, a representative long-haul test of 477 miles at max GVW. Real world fuel performance depends on many factors, including driving speed, use of driver support systems, vehicle spec, vehicle load, topography, the driver’s experience, vehicle maintenance & weather.

"We usually run Scanias but we got on well with the previous Volvo. When it came to replacing it, the price was more attractive and we were happy with what we were getting from Volvo. The driver liked it too, and having good drivers is as important as a good lorry," says Daniel Morrison, owner, Norscot Seafoods, talking about the business' latest Volvo FH16 Aero in the 7 May issue of Commercial Motor magazine.
