To achieve the goal of net zero emission，Volvo Group has put forward three solutions at the energy and power level.：Battery Powered Solutions、Fuel cell electric solutions and internal combustion engines using renewable fuels。JohanEmphasize：“Among，Electrification is central to achieving the goal of net zero emissions。”

 

Volvo Trucks ownsThe most complete electric product line in the global truck industry，Including VolvoFH、VolvoFMAnd VolvoFMXSeries trucks, etc，Already in Europe、Listed in North America one after another。In addition，The company is also developing fuel cell power.，And the use of internal combustion engine power related products including hydrogen and biofuels.，To meet the needs of customers in different scenarios。

 

 

For electric trucks.，Batteries make up a large part of its value.，SoEstablish a perfect battery supply chainIt is also an important part of ensuring the value of battery supply.。

 

JohanExpress，“Our Battery Strategy，First of all, we should consider using us as much as possible.Local vehicle operation system，Serve local production needs。In addition，It is also necessary to take into account the different regulatory and policy requirements of different countries.。“Volvo Group's internal and external efforts，Accelerate the development of the company's battery-electric roadmap。
