Volvo FM Low Entry is the first truck model ever developed by Volvo which is available only with an electric drive.
“This zero-emission truck is a great addition to our electric range, perfectly suited for city transports and designed with the driver in mind. It’s powerful, yet smooth to drive and easy to maneuver. The new Volvo FM Low Entry is perfectly in line with our ambitions to expand our electric offer, enabling even more customers to reduce their carbon emissions,” explains Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks.

The truck is based on Volvo FM model. The spacious cab has been lowered and moved forward, and the low instep and flat floor makes it easy to enter and exit the truck. According to Volvo, these design features create an ergonomic, comfortable and efficient working environment for drivers in busy city locations.
