By Jim Gibbins - 1st October 2020
USA - Through the Volvo LIGHTS project, California freight company, Dependable Highway Express (DHE), plans to demonstrate the ability for battery-electric trucks to successfully transport goods in daily operations.
DHE has received two Volvo VNR Electric trucks, which are the first battery-electric Class 8 trucks to join its fleet. They join DHE’s existing fleet of more than 500 Volvo trucks operating across North America. Deployed as part of the Volvo LIGHTS (Low Impact Green Heavy Transport Solutions) project, the VNRs will operate a pilot project until the end of 2021 to demonstrate suitability for battery-electric trucks to successfully transport goods in DHE’s daily routes.
