Volvo Trucks North America (VTNA) is cementing its position as a heavy truck electrification leader with top market share figures and explosive growth in its dealer network.
The company said Sunday at the American Trucking Associations' 2025 Management Conference & Exhibition in San Diego that it has put more than 700 Volvo VNR Electric trucks on the road in the U.S. and Canada.
The trucks collectively have logged more than 20 million zero-tailpipe-emission miles, eliminating an estimated 34,000 metric tons of CO2 – the equivalent of taking more than 7,000 passenger cars off the road for a year.
The path to zero emissions is shaped by market conditions, which are moving slowly, said VTNA President Peter Voorhoeve.
TEC Equipment – Fontana became the first Volvo Trucks Certified EV Dealer in July 2021, but Volvo's BEV network has expanded quickly to 83 certified locations across 33 U.S. states and four Canadian provinces. The most recent additions bring online four new states (Colorado, Louisiana, Maryland, and Nevada) and four new dealer groups into the program. Another 13 locations are currently in the certification pipeline.
Given the current state of regulations that have undone battery electric mandates, Voorhoeve expects growth among the company's BEV dealer network will slow. Too, he added that Volvo's BEV footprint is already close to optimized.
"I think we will be stable with the number of battery electric certified dealers. Right now, where we have those, we have pretty good network coverage," he said. "We don't need the same kind of coverage you need with diesel engines. I think we will not grow as fast, but we will continue to grow."
Volvo Trucks is a global leader with its battery electric vehicles, having maintained an average of more than 30% market share in the North American electric truck segment over the past five years.
Since launching its first electric trucks in 2019, Volvo has delivered more than 5,700 electric vehicles across 50 countries, which have collectively driven more than 155 million miles.
