1st Volvo Electric FM 4×2 Truck In South Africa Delivered To KDG Logistics
There have been some exciting announcements this week in the South African electric mobility sector. One of the really exciting ones was the announcement from Volvo Cars South Africa thatearly next year at a very attractive price. The electric car market in South Africa is starting to get some traction, with sales up 106% in the first four months of the year compared to the same period last year.
Volvo Trucks South Africa’s first electric FM 4X2 tractor was presented to one of Volvo Trucks South Africa’s customers, KDG Logistics, earlier this week. The company will use the truck in its operations to move new passenger vehicles between factories/storage facilities and the Durban Port. Eric Parry, Volvo Trucks SA’s sustainable solutions manager, said the trucks have been designed, developed, and built to handle any major commercial operation that South African companies need to deal with.
“So, no adaptations were necessary before introducing the vehicles in SA. They have been homologated and continuously tested in real-life operations and we are happy to say that so far, all is going well,” said Parry. Volvo says the electric trucks will need to be serviced only once a year, so fleet downtime will be kept to a minimum. The company has also installed 120 kW DC fast chargers at each of its main dealerships, primarily as a workshop tool, but also to support demo vehicles if needed.
