With an operational range of 280 kilometres, the truck boasts a six-battery energy storage capacity to enable enhanced range, as well as three electric motors to provide instant power and energy savings. The charge time for the vehicles is between 8-10 hours and is charged using a 46-amp charger.

LTS Global Solutions has always operated an extremely stringent fleet replacement programme which sees older trucks replaced with newer more fuel-efficient vehicles. The Volvo FM Electric provides an added boost to this ongoing campaign.

Dave Hands, Managing Director at LTS Global Solutions commented: “Making positive contributions to reducing our emissions is something that is continually top of mind at LTS Global Solutions and an ethos which we look to apply to every aspect of our operation.

“From replacing vehicles on a three-year cycle to the latest models to completing our recent move into a state-of-the-art, purpose built Net Zero carbon in construction facility, we are always looking at new and innovative ways to improve our carbon footprint.

Dave continued: “This addition to our fleet is yet another positive milestone for the business and we are incredibly proud to be showcasing our commitment to embracing the latest vehicle technologies currently on the market by purchasing the Volvo FM Electric.”
