In the pursuit of a greener future for transportation, JAS Worldwide, in collaboration with GLC - Göteborgs Lastbilcentral, proudly unveiled their first electric truck in Sweden earlier this year.


Operating within the greater Gothenburg area, this electric vehicle uses clean, renewable electricity, delivering remarkable results in terms of environmental impact. Compared to traditional diesel trucks, the VOLVO FM6x2T TE achieves an impressive 92% reduction in CO2 emissions when considering the entire Well-To-Wheel (WTW) cycle.


The successful implementation of this electric truck marks an important milestone for JAS Worldwide and GLC, as they introduce greener transportation options for their customers. By collaborating with manufacturers, suppliers, and customers, JAS Worldwide aims to bring about benefits for all parties involved while setting an example for the industry.
