Volvo's journey towards sustainable transportation is making significant strides, with their heavy-duty electric trucks having already traveled close to 50 million miles to serve major clients like Amazon and PepsiCo. Representing 44% of all electric trucks sold in the U.S. in 2023, Volvo is committed to achieving 100% fossil fuels-free vehicles by 2040. This ambitious goal necessitates strong partnerships with various stakeholders to facilitate the transition. An upcoming webcast featuring a conversation between Volvo's Chief Sustainability Officer, Karin Svensson, and Trellis Editor-at-Large Heather Clancy will delve into the ecosystem of partnerships supporting Volvo's sustainability initiatives. The discussion will touch upon the planning of a 50-vehicle fleet in Southern California in collaboration with Amazon, the significance of partnerships enabling infrastructure development and green materials adoption, and the technical details of an electric truck set to launch in 2025 with an impressive range of 373 miles. Moreover, the potential expansion to other heavy-duty electric vehicles such as buses and excavators will be explored, alongside Volvo's approach of considering customers' avoided transportation emissions in their journey towards net zero. Volvo sees the shift to fossil fuels-free vehicles not just as a sustainability imperative but also as a substantial opportunity for market growth. Key insights are expected regarding strategies for garnering leadership support, prioritizing emission reduction efforts, and the collaborative nature required to drive sustainability initiatives effectively. Viewers will have the opportunity to engage with Karin Svensson during the live event or access the recorded interview and transcript for further insights and case studies that will be shared post-event.
