The Volvo FM Electric has been spotted testing on Indian roads. We can think of two possibilities \u2013 either Volvo is looking to introduce its pure-electric range of commercial vehicles in India or the prototype may have been imported for component testing purposes.<\/p>\n
Volvo’s heavy-duty electric truck line-up includes the FH, FM and FMX. We believe the prototype testing in India is the FM Electric.<\/p>\n
The FM Electric comes in various axle configurations in Tractor or Rigid versions. It has a gross combined weight of up to 44 tonnes.<\/p>\n
The FM Electric can be configured with 2-3 electric motors depending on the variant. It offers a continuous power output of 443 \u2013 657 BHP. Depending on the number of batteries installed, the capacity ranges between 180-540 kWh.<\/p>\n
Volvo claims a maximum range of up to 300 km on a single charge. The battery can be charged in 9.5 hours using a 43 kW AC charger or in 2.5 hours using a 250 kW DC charger.<\/p>\n
