• Volvo Trucks has unveiled electrified versions of several of its heavy-duty trucks that will go on sale in Europe next year and be manufactured the following year.
• The trucks may have a range of up to 186.4 miles and a gross combined weight rating of about 48.5 tons.
• The Swedish automaker also plans to start selling hydrogen fuel cell-powered trucks within the decade.

Volvo Trucks has unveiled electrified versions of several of its heavy-duty trucks — the Volvo FH, FM, and FMX — that will go on sale in Europe next year.

Like the original non electric iterations in Volvo Trucks' arsenal, the new environmentally friendly lineup will have a variety of uses, from construction to regional transport to garbage disposal.

To prepare for the upcoming 2020 sales debut, the Swedish automaker is now testing the newly electrified FH, FM, and FMX.

This isn't Volvo Trucks' first foray into the electrification of its own lineup: in 2019, the automaker started manufacturing electric versions of the Volvo FL and FE, both used mostly for "city distribution" and garbage collection. These, combined with the three upcoming trucks, will create a full line of Europe-based eco friendly heavy-duty trucks.
