The two companies have agreed to plan for the deployment of 300 zero-exhaust emission electric trucks
Global logistics company DSV has signed an agreement with Volvo Trucks for the purchase of 300 electric trucks.
The deal is one of the largest commercial orders to date for Volvo electric trucks and is an important step in DSV’s goals to reduce emissions and lead the green transition in the transport sector.
DSV, a global leader in transport and logistics, is moving towards more sustainable road freight solutions. Every day, thousands of trucks transport goods for the company’s customers around the world, and a growing number will become electric or run on renewable fuels in the years to come.

Now, DSV together with Volvo Trucks have agreed to plan for the deployment of 300 zero-exhaust emission electric trucks across DSV operations in Europe. The agreement also includes 500 Volvo trucks with fuel-efficient diesel and gas drive lines.
“This order is proof of their trust in our company and shows that zero-emissions transport is a viable solution here and now,” remarked Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks.
“Close collaboration across sectors provides an opportunity for DSV to be a key enabler for decarbonisation in the industry. We are happy to extend our partnership with Volvo in our joint effort to reduce emissions in the transport industry,” commented Søren Schmidt, CEO, DSV Road.
The trucks being supplied to DSV will include the new Volvo FH Aero Electric, which has improved aerodynamics, making it even more energy efficient.
DSV is the largest transporter of goods for the Volvo Group, and its electric trucks are already used on lanes in Sweden and Denmark where DSV has established charging infrastructure using electricity from solar panels at its distribution centres.
