DSV has taken on four Volvo FH Aero Electric 4x2 tractor units in its UK operations, as part of a commitment to acquire 300 zero-exhaust emission trucks from the OEM by 2026.

The new arrivals are direct replacements for older diesel models in the DSV fleet and are operating out of Immingham.

Keith Northen, divisional manager at DSV, said: “When you’re introducing new technology into a working fleet, you need a partner that understands the operational challenges and can offer real-world solutions.

“Volvo gave us that confidence. Its approach to range, reliability, and infrastructure support aligns with our needs, and we know we can rely on its support network to keep us moving.

“The FH Aero Electric offers the right balance of range, payload capacity and aerodynamic efficiency for our operational needs.”

DSV has acquired four Volvo FH Aero Electric tractor units as part of its commitment to deploy more than 300 zero-exhaust emission trucks from the manufacturer.
