Range & Route

Range & Route is a powerful route-planning and range-simulation tool for electric trucks. Available with Volvo Connect, the service lets you simulate the truckʼs route and get a prediction on its range and energy use. This enables you to ensure that the truck will have enough electricity to complete its task – so you can plan transport assignments with confidence.

Many factors influence an electric truckʼs range. These include the truckʼs specification, the size of the payload, the temperature outdoors, the routeʼs topography, and whether the truck is equipped with special energyconsuming machinery such as a trash compactor. Understanding the total impact of these factors on a truckʼs range can be a challenge, but Range & Route does the calculations for you automatically. This makes it easier to manage your fleet and helps you maximize the efficiency of your electric trucks.

Predict the range of electric trucks

Range & Route gives you the confidence of knowing that your truck can deliver as planned. The service predicts the range for each unique vehicle based on a user-defined route with a set of waypoints. Factors such as changes in the weight of the payload along the route as well as auxiliary consumers, such as a garbage compactor or concrete mixer, are considered in the prediction. Charging can be added to the plan if necessary. Range & Route supports all electric vehicles.

Send routes directly to the truck

Range & Route lets you share routes directly with the driver via the Routes app in the onboard side display. This includes the location of each waypoint and when charging is required. The driver can then follow the route using the truckʼs navigation system.
