Electric trucks would be the logical step into the future. But how do you know if your organisation is ready for that step? Volvo Trucks launched the Business Case Simulator, a handy tool to help you evaluate your ‘electric’ readiness.
Four questions to Hugo Seghers, Electromobility Manager at Volvo Trucks Belgium, on that simulator and the future of electric transport.
What is the importance of electric trucks?
Electric trucks play a crucial role in making the transport sector more sustainable. They do not emit CO2 and produce less noise pollution, which has a positive impact on air quality and the environment in our cities. Moreover, they are more energy-efficient than traditional diesel trucks, resulting in lower fuel costs.
Is every organisation ready to go electric?
Not every organisation is equally ready to switch to electric trucks. Volvo Trucks’ Business Case Simulator is a handy tool to evaluate whether your organisation can take the necessary steps. The simulator looks at various factors, such as the daily distances your trucks travel, the type of transport you carry out and your sustainability targets. This gives you a transparent and reliable picture of your ‘electric’ readiness.
How exactly does the Business Case Simulator work?
The Business Case Simulator is a user-friendly online tool. In 10 clear steps, you answer questions about your organisation and its transport needs. Based on your answers, the simulator calculates your organisation’s e-mobility readiness and gives you insights into the impact of electric trucks on your organisation. Objectively and independently. You will also receive concrete tips and advice on how to prepare for the transition to electric transport.
The future of transport is electric. Is Volvo Trucks ready for that future?
Definitely! We are constantly investing in the development of new and innovative electric trucks. We are constantly expanding our range and working with our partners to build the infrastructure for electric transport. We currently have an electric variant for every truck. One that we are happy to accompany!
