May 3, 2025. Global customer demand for Volvo’s gas-powered trucks is growing and Volvo Trucks has sold more than 8 000 units in total around the world. During 2024, sales increased with 25% where the top markets are Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Spain and the UK. Volvo’s gas engines are available in the Volvo FM, FH and FH Aero models, and they can switch seamlessly between biogas and regular liquified natural gas (LNG) fuel.
Gas-powered Volvo trucks can cover distances of up to 1,000 kilometers, making them suitable for transport assignments such as long haul- and regional distribution but also construction. They represent a viable alternative to other low-emission vehicles as transport companies and transport buyers are looking for ways to become more sustainable.
“Many of our customers choose to replace their diesel trucks with gas-powered trucks as an easy way to reduce their CO2 emissions here and now”, says Jan Hjelmgren, Head of Product Management at Volvo Trucks. He continues: “Volvo’s gas-powered trucks are a real win-win for transport companies as they can combine a lower cost of ownership with a reduced carbon footprint and retained productivity.”
Several countries already offer an extensive network of gas stations with a growing access to biogas. Global production of biogas grew by 21% during 2024. This means that the possibility of reducing CO2 emissions by up to 100% opens for a significant volume of users.
