Trucksters signs electric trucks deal with Volvo

[ November 2, 2023   //   ]

Spanish relay-based freight operator Trucksters has signed an agreement with Volvo Trucks to acquire two FM Electric tractor units. It aims to establish the first 100% electric long-distance route across Europe while improving the lives of truck drivers by focusing on reducing sound and vibrations in the cab. Drivers enjoy a reduction in cab noise of almost 12% on average compared to an average diesel unit.
The operator hopes to make a decisive contribution to the decarbonisation of long-distance road transport based on the idea of producing no emissions at all, rather than offsetting them.
Trucksters is already operating the trucks which have carried freight for 40 customers.
