Sweden / Canada – Volvo Trucks Corporation of Gothenburg, Sweden has announced that it will begin customer pilots of trucks powered by hydrogen combustion in 2026, using technology produced through a joint venture with Westport Fuel Systems Inc of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Following the launch of trials with customers in 2026, Volvo aims to make its hydrogen engine trucks commercially available by the end of the decade. These trucks will be considered “zero emission” under EU regulations – although they emit a small amount of CO₂ and NO_x – and Volvo intends for them to complement its electric and biogas/HVO offerings.
