Australia – Volvo Group Australia announced in May the start of electric truck production at its facility in Wacol, Queensland, which coincided with a 30-unit order from logistics firm Linfox Pty Ltd of Melbourne.

Volvo states that, although it has kickstarted production of battery electric trucks in Australia, only “some” of the trucks destined for Linfox will be locally assembled.
