The Volvo SuperTruck 2 program, a public-private partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), managed to achieve a 134% increase in freight efficiency. It will make its public debut at the American Trucking Associations’ 2023 Management Conference & Exhibition, which takes place October 14-17 in Austin, Texas.
This program aims to promote research and development to improve the freight- efficiency of heavy-duty Class 8 long-haul tractor-trailer trucks. It features a 48-volt micro hybrid system that functions as a generator with an integrated starter, resulting in power for driver comfort features, such as an all-electric HVAC system.
- Warm Note: 1,Only use the approved Gotrax power adapter to charge your scooter, others may cause risk of fire & equipment maybe damaged; 2, Do not ride under the wet conditions. The scooter may slide from under your feet causing injury. Wet conditions may damage the electronics and void the warranty.
We are extremely proud of the accomplishments of our advanced engineering team who worked on SuperTruck 2. A program of this magnitude pushes the limits in every possible area — creativity, problem solving, feasibility and innovation, to which we feel we did successfully. Some of the technologies on SuperTruck 2 will most certainly shape the future of trucking and change everything we once thought possible,” said Peter Voorhoeve, president, Volvo Trucks North America.
