Volvo Trucks – Volvo FMX Electric tipper. A closer look

This silent and powerful FMX Electric tipper integrates two very different purposes and operations. Firstly, it is a tipper with a clutch-independent PTO, ideal for an operation that requires tipping during driving. Secondly, by utilising the full capacity of the transmission-mounted PTO, it is also a fast tipper. The most suitable option can be selected depending on the customer's purpose.

As urban skylines grow rapidly, so do noise and air pollution. The robust Volvo FMX Electric can deliver and remove heavyweight material and machines, even in sensitive parts of the city, with as little disturbance as possible. In doing so, they deliver on the demands set by officials and residents for cleaner and quieter transportation. To simplify the transition to electric transportation, the truck is available with service and support packages for charging, route and range planning, battery monitoring and more.

Stay productive and in control

Adding a Volvo electric truck to your operation is easy. The Volvo Gold Service Contract includes battery monitoring and secure uptime and deliveries with the predictive service planning. We have also added services to optimize truck usage, for instance with route and range planning, positioning with energy status and follow-up reports. All this can be conveniently accessed in the Volvo Connect portal, right next to the other truck and support functions. Routes can be shared between the office and the cab, and the driver can easily view the state of charge, control the parking heater and more via the MyTruck app.

Smooth and powerful powertrain

Two or three electric motors combined with an I-Shift gearbox adapted for electromobility provide a smooth and powerful driving experience. The massive power of up to 490 kW/666 hp is handled by a unique traction control system also developed to master slippery surfaces. Different drive modes are available to set the desired performance, comfort and energy usage levels. Six battery packs produce up to 540 kWh, ensuring sufficient range for your building and construction assignments.
