Volvo Energy is driving the future of BEVs and battery circularity through the four Rs: refurbish, remanufacture, repurpose, and recycle.
We’re two years into the Volvo VNR Electric leading the way in zero emissions trucking, with the company on track to put 300,000 such trucks into operation in the coming years. It’s safe to say, then, that electric semi trucks aren’t coming soon. They’re already here, and the scope of heavy electric vehicle applications is growing from city andtrucks to true over-the-road semi tractors.
A division of the larger Volvo Group, Volvo Energy is working to develop battery circularity focusing on what it calls “the four Rs”:Refurbishing/repairing a battery enables its continued use or, in some cases, reuse, while remanufacturing involves replacing modules to provide customers with “good-as-new” replacement batteries at a lower cost than new ones.
With these efforts, Volvo Energy hopes to not only contribute to sustainability, but also support charging, optimize energy usage in buildings or microgrids, and store green energy from intermittent energy sources like wind and solar.
