“We Continue to Provide Service in Earthquake Zones with Our FMX Product Range”

Referring to the work carried out by Volvo Trucks in earthquake zones, Utku Uzun said that; “After the earthquake, we closely monitored the process with great sensitivity. It was necessary for us all to help rebuild this region. At this point, we closely followed the processes and business plans. We held one-on-one meetings with companies in the area and worked on how we could contribute to the process. We aimed to deliver the incoming demands to our customers as quickly as possible and with the best solutions — and we did. We are still in an ongoing process, and with our FMX product range, including both tipper and mixer trucks, we continue to offer solutions. There is still demand in the region, and as a brand, we are continuing our efforts at full pace to provide solutions to our customers.”

“300 Kilometers Range, 490 kW Power”

Starting his remarks by saying, “It is a great pleasure for us to be here in Mersin, one of the most important hubs of transportation, together with our customers,” Marubeni Distribution and Service Truck Product Manager Yusuf Can shared information with our readers about the Volvo FH Electric and Volvo FH Aero models exhibited at the fair. Providing details first about the Volvo FH Electric, Can stated that; “Our vehicle is equipped with a 490 kW electric motor. It features six battery units, each with a capacity of 90 kWh, offering a total battery capacity of 540 kWh. As with all our product range, all safety equipment is at the highest level. It also includes advanced safety technologies compliant with GSR II regulations. When it comes to charging times, with DC charging, our vehicle can be charged from 0 to 80% in approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. The range with a full charge is 300 kilometers. Before selling our electric vehicles, we always work on the routes with our customers. For them, knowing when to charge the vehicle and using their time efficiently during loading and unloading processes is extremely important. We evaluate this with our simulation program and provide them with the most efficient charging and range schedules.”

“Safety is a Top Priority in Volvo Trucks’ DNA”

Sharing further details about another model they showcased, the Volvo FH Aero, Yusuf Can continued his remarks as follows: “This model stands out with its aerodynamic design.

Safety is always a top priority in Volvo Trucks’ DNA. Our vehicles are equipped with the latest safety technologies to ensure that drivers travel securely.”
