The NSW RFS has taken the Volvo FM Electric for an extended test drive in an effort to understand how low emissions vehicles can be integrated into emergency services fleets in the future.

Volvo Group customer and leading supply chain provider Martin Brower has introduced its first electric delivery truck into its Australian fleet. As a key distributor for McDonald’s, Martin Brower’s new 8-pallet Volvo FL electric refrigerated truck will deliver 7 days a week to McDonald’s restaurants across the greater Sydney metropolitan area. It can hold up to 4.6 tons and has up to 230 kilometers of range, tailored to the demands of urban restaurant deliveries.

Volvo has announced sales start for the revamped heavy duty range this week. The new Euro 6 lineup arrives with a raft of new features as well as the powerful new D17 engine with a new range of horsepower ratings stretching from 600hp to 780hp.
