CO₂ reduction:
Up to 95% net CO₂ reduction with electricity from renewable sources
Advantages:
Zero tailpipe emissions for CO₂ & NOx, low noise, relatively cheap energy
Considerations:
Access to non-fossil fuel electricity and charging infrastructure
Where infrastructure is in place, you can benefit from Volvo gas-powered trucks running on LNG (liquefied natural gas) or bio-LNG (liquefied biogas). Safe and non-flammable, the gas is combusted with 5-10% diesel or HVO to ignite the fuel. Suitable for long-haul transport and on-road construction, these gas engines match the torque of our diesel engines – so there’s no compromise on performance even while lowering CO₂ emissions.
CO₂ reduction:
Up to 20% reduction with LNG, 80-100% with bio-LNG
Advantages:
Good energy density
Considerations:
Tailpipe CO₂ and NOx emissions, access to fueling infrastructure
For future consideration. It is already clear that hydrogen fuel cells and combustion engines have the potential to be an essential element for the future of transportation. Volvo is currently focused on developing and testing our hydrogen-powered trucks in the real world. We look forward to helping customers integrate them into their operations and sustainability journeys.
CO₂ reduction:
Up to 90% net CO₂ reduction
Advantages:
Zero tailpipe CO₂ emissions
Considerations:
High energy price, shortage of green hydrogen, and infrastructure not in place currently
