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.

- Long Battery Life: Featuring a 36V, 5.2Ah long life battery, the Gotrax electric scooter for adults can reach up to a max speed of 15.5mph and a max range of 12 miles; With the cruise control system, bringing convenience to your riding.
- Anti-flat 8.5" Inner Honeycomb (Solid) Tire: It requires no maintenance, no repair, anti piercing, so you needn't worry about being punctured. The solid tire has more cushion and provides a more comfortable ride than the traditional air tire.
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.
