Volvo Trucks South Africa has unveiled a groundbreaking approach to electric truck rentals with its new Equipment-as-a-Service model, marking a significant leap forward in the adoption of eco-friendly transport solutions in the country.
The current Volvo electric truck range in South Africa includes FH, FM, and FMX models, available in configurations such as 4X2, 6X2, and 6X4 tractors, with FM 4X2 and 6X2 rigids set to join the line-up soon. Some benefits of vehicle rental are that it reduces the need for capital outlay and offers greater flexibility compared to outright purchase or long-term leasing arrangements. The rental option allows businesses to utilise the vehicle for shorter periods without being tied down by lengthy lease obligations.
The rental package includes maintenance and insurance costs, with each truck covered by a comprehensive Volvo Trucks gold maintenance contract for the duration of the rental period. Specialised training is also provided to drivers to maximise the performance of electric trucks, although the operational controls and driving style remain similar to diesel models.
