One of the leading players in contract logistics in Europe, ID Logistics, is moving towards a greener future by incorporating 30 new sustainable vehicles in collaboration with Volvo.
Specifically, the company has added two fully electric Volvo FM trucks and 28 Volvo FH trucks equipped with I-Save technology to its fleet. Since last summer, the two Volvo FM Electric units have been operating in ID Logistics’ fleet.
Equipped with advanced technology, these electric trucks have exceeded expectations in terms of energy efficiency, operational performance, and load capacity, demonstrating the feasibility of electrifying freight transport.
