The Volvo FM Electric costs about Rs 96 lakh to Rs 98 lakh ex-showroom. On-road price is higher because RTO tax, insurance and registration get added on top, and those change by state. Ask two or three dealers in your city, because discounts differ.
About 300 km on a full charge. Real range drops with a full load, hills and heavy traffic, so plan for a little less than the rated figure.
Rated payload is 9,000 kg. Gross vehicle weight is 44,000 kg, which is the truck plus the load together. Stay inside this figure. Overloading breaks springs and tyres early and invites fines at the check post.
It uses an electric motor rated at 657 HP with 2,100 Nm of torque. There is no engine, so no oil changes and no fuel filters.
Gross vehicle weight is 44,000 kg, or about 44 tonnes. GVW is the total allowed weight of the truck plus body plus goods, and it decides which licence and permit you need.
It is mainly used for construction material, fruits and vegetables. If your daily load and route match that kind of work, this truck fits.
It comes with an Automatic. An automatic is easier in stop-start city traffic and takes less out of the driver on a long day.
Yes, air conditioning is part of the cabin. That matters on long runs in summer, and drivers stay with the job longer when the cabin is comfortable.
It has 6 tyres in a 8x4 layout. Tyre size is 295/80R22.5, Radial tubeless.
Volvo gives a manufacturer warranty on this truck. The exact months and kilometre limit change by model and state, so get it in writing from your dealer at the time of booking.
The closest options at this size are Blue Energy BEM 5548e EV (49,895 kg GVW, from about Rs 95 lakh), I-Board Tipper Elecy V3525 (35,000 kg GVW, from about Rs 55 lakh) and Propel 470 MEV - ROCK 6 X 4 (45,000 kg GVW, from about Rs 36 lakh). Compare payload, mileage and the service network on your own route before you decide, because those three decide your cost per km more than the sticker price does.
The Volvo FM Electric has a GVW of 44,000 kg, above the 7,500 kg light motor vehicle limit, so the driver needs a heavy goods vehicle transport licence. An ordinary LMV (car) licence does not cover it.
