FH Aero Drives Customer Demand

A major growth driver for Volvo Trucks in 2025 was the FH Aero long-haul truck. Nearly 33,000 units of the model were ordered across Europe during the year. The FH Aero replaces the standard FH model and offers up to 7% better fuel efficiency, thanks to improved aerodynamics and the use of digital camera mirrors.

The enhanced fuel savings and efficiency made the FH Aero a popular choice among European fleet operators and long-distance hauliers.

Leadership Backed by Customer Trust

Commenting on the achievement, Roger Alm, President of Volvo Trucks, said the company is proud to lead the European market for the second year in a row. He added that market leadership reflects the strong trust customers place in Volvo Trucks and supports the company’s goal of being the best business partner for transport operators.

In 2024, Volvo Trucks delivered around 134,000 vehicles globally, supported by a wide dealer network with 2,200 service points across nearly 130 countries.

Roadmap to Net-Zero Emissions

Volvo Trucks is working towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2040 through a three-pillar technology strategy. This includes battery electric trucks, fuel cell electric vehicles, and combustion engines powered by renewable fuels such as green hydrogen, biogas, biodiesel, and HVO.

According to Alm, investing in multiple technologies allows Volvo Trucks to offer transport solutions suited to different markets and customer needs.
