About Volvo Trucks

Volvo Trucks is the half of the Volvo name most drivers never think about, and yet it is one of the largest heavy-truck makers on earth. Based in Gothenburg, it is part of AB Volvo, the Volvo Group, which is an entirely separate company from Volvo Cars. Its trucks carry the same obsession with safety that made the brand famous, and they haul freight on every continent where there are roads worth the name.

In Europe the FH long-haul tractor and its FM, FMX and FE siblings are fixtures of the motorway, and the I-Shift automated transmission helped convert a continent of manual-gearbox loyalists. In North America the company builds the VNL and VNR at its New River Valley plant in Virginia, where it grew into a major force after absorbing the old White and GM heavy-truck businesses. Volvo Group also owns Mack and Renault Trucks, along with buses and construction equipment.

Electrification is now the headline. Volvo sells battery-electric heavy trucks across Europe and North America, from the FH Electric to the VNR Electric, and is preparing electric versions of its newest long-haul models while keeping diesel, gas and renewable-fuel options alive. A new plant in Monterrey, Mexico, adds North American capacity in a market shaped by tariffs and emissions rules. The stories here follow launches, fleet orders, plant news, regulation, recalls, earnings and the steady race to make zero-emission freight work at scale.
