globalautonews Views  

Volvo Trucks’ Volvo FH Electric has received the title of the 2024 International Truck of the Year (IToY2024).

Starting in 1977, the Truck of the Year award, a globally prestigious honor, features a jury of European commercial vehicle journalists for its selection. This marks the first instance of an electric truck winning the Truck of the Year award. Volvo Trucks President Roger Alm received the award at a ceremony held at the Solutrans exhibition in Lyon, France, on the 23rd. The 2024 Truck of the Year judges explained that the Volvo FH Electric had scored highly for its excellent performance, smooth acceleration system, and low noise and vibration technology.

Gianenrico Griffini, chairman of the Truck of the Year judges, said, “Volvo Trucks has introduced a cutting-edge battery electric truck product line suitable for various transport tasks with the launch of the FH Electric.” He added, “This is evidence that the need for energy transition in the commercial vehicle industry is emerging even in today’s challenging business environment.”

Roger Alm, President of Volvo Trucks, expressed pride, saying, “We are very proud that the Volvo FH Electric has won the Truck of the Year in a globally recognized award. Moreover, the selection of Volvo’s electric truck as the Truck of the Year for the first time in the transport industry signifies our successful positioning as an icon representing a new era within the truck industry.” He added, “I would like to sincerely thank all the Volvo Group employees who have worked hard to achieve this result, as well as our valued customers, partners, and suppliers.”

Kang-seok Park, President of Volvo Trucks Korea, said, “We are pleased to once again spread the excellence of the Volvo FH Electric worldwide by being selected as the Truck of the Year, which is recognized in the global commercial vehicle market.” He added, “Everyone at Volvo Trucks Korea, including our employees and partners, is joining forces to introduce the Volvo FH Electric in the domestic commercial vehicle market as soon as possible. Volvo Trucks will be a leader in electrifying the commercial vehicle industry for the sustainability of the logistics industry in the domestic market.”

Volvo Trucks, selected as ‘Truck of the Year’ for the fourth time this year

With this award, Volvo Trucks’ FH model has been selected for the fourth time as the Truck of the Year. The Volvo FH is the most successful model in the commercial vehicle industry, with about 1.4 million units sold worldwide.
