We are making what would be impossible for one actor alone to accomplish - this strong partnership is a significant milestone and accelerator towards carbon neutral transport in Europe by 2050.” Martin Lundstedt, President and CEO Volvo Group: “This is a long-awaited and major step towards achieving the required charging infrastructure for the roll-out and success of battery-electric long-haul trucks and coaches. The number of charge points has to increase significantly as fast as possible to make electric long-haul trucking a viable solution for our customers.”
Still, we call on the entire industry to join in our effort. It is crucial that we are now taking the initiative for building up the much-needed charging network.
