Volvo to build heavy electric trucks in Australia after record breaking order

Volvo accelerates plans to build heavy electric trucks in Australia after a record order of electric prime movers from transport group Linfox.

@jhaue Fantastic news — going electric is a huge step forward, and it’s great to see these trucks being built right here in Australia! But let’s not forget we also have a vast, under-utilised rail network that could play a much bigger role in reducing emissions and heavy road traffic. Sadly, its potential has long been sidelined by lobbying from private road transport interests. We need both electric innovation and smarter infrastructure use. #electrictrucks #railrevival #madeinaustralia

@mojo @jhaue

So true: “We need both electric innovation and smarter infrastructure use”. We have a lot of ground to make up, good to see a start on that with these electric prime movers. 🙂
