Volvo FH Electric wins International Truck of the Year

Volvo’s FH Electric range has been voted International Truck of the Year 2024, marking a significant milestone as the first electric truck to win the prestigious award.

Volvo Trucks president Roger Alm was presented with the award during the press day of Solutrans, the biennial trade fair for haulage and urban transport professionals, in Lyon, France.

With a winning score of 84 votes, the Swedish truck manufacturer’s heavy-duty electric range fought off tough challenges from Mercedes-Benz’s eActros 300/400, equipped with an electric driveline, and the Scania’s 45S battery electric truck.

As well as being the first electric truck in series production to win the prize (with the awards dating back to 1977), there were also four battery-electric models out of five on this year’s International Truck of the Year (IToY) shortlist.
