Volvo plans to triple its electric vehicle dealership locations in one year
🚙 Volvo plans to triple its electric vehicle dealership locations in one year.
Volvo Trucks has expanded its number of certified electric vehicle (EV) dealerships in North America three-fold over the past year, and dozens more are in the process of gaining certification, as Volvo Trucks aims to increase its support ecosystem for the deployment of battery-electric trucks and equipment at scale. To get the Volvo seal of approval to be an EV dealer, a dealership’s sales, maintenance, and parts staff must be trained on the newer battery-electric vehicles. Volvo Trucks North America President, Peter Voorhoeve, said the success of the three-year Volvo LIGHTS project brought together 14 public and private partners to design and implement a blueprint for the support ecosystem necessary for commercial deployment of Class 8 battery-electric trucks.
Volvo Trucks believes that battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) will be the main technology to transform the trucking industry in North America and globally.
