Your reaction in the first minute is pure gold. Truckers get a very pleasant future with these electric trucks. Embrace the future.

[@richyman1988]

I think all Volvos look so nice, just such a clean pure design.

[@Piglife101]

Drove an electric car for the first time last year. Sold straight away. The silence is so relaxing

[@garrygrant2827]

Hi Tim I was really really impressed by the electric volvo unit with 32 tonnes fully loaded. I have driven artic trucks for 35years . How advanced trucks have become in last 20 years is quite breathtaking to be honest. That volvo sure had your voice Tim. You looked very surprised at how it could pull .the only sad thing for owner operator would be cost to buy or even lease but jit is the future so bring it on. Now that long nose scania is a serious bit of kit loved the paint job a real work of art plus that huge beast of a v8 under the hood , A lot of money has been well spent on it a real eye opener an head Turner a great credit to its owner. Loved the video Tim

[@showme360]

As with all things electric the upfront costs are scarry, but the long term costs puts a smile on the bosses face. So don't be fall when they turn to you and say they cannot afford to pay you more!!! lol

[@tmdosu]

I think they're great for local jobs. In Romania I've started seeing electric delivery vans. It's cool becase they can come on quiet streets (like mine) without waking up people. It just calls/messages you before arriving, to be outside and take the package. no noise, better for nightshift

[@tomerivan]

If you didn't put the 730 T-cab at the end, I would actually have thought that Volvo kidnaped you... Glad that they didn't - because the V8's are awesome!

[@jankrusat2150]

There exists a KZbin channel called www.youtube.com/@electrictrucker . The guy is German and drives electric artics long distance. He usually times the charging breaks so that they fall with his mandatory rest breaks.

[@TheUnreadableUser]

This has to be my top 5 trucker tim trucker tim videos EVER! It's so fun seeing tim Try out different things! Great video tim.

[@TomOG_]

Great video Tim. It's strange seeing trucks going electric too, but this one is still a nice truck

[@jake8793]

Love the juxtaposition of driving the electric truck then straight into the T730 🤣

[@ScrappyDoodad]

I am always amazed at the ease of power when I merge onto the highway in my 200 hp EV My last ice vehicle also had 200 hp and it strained with noise and vibration to output the power The real amazing thing is the head tossing acceleration from 70 mpr An ice vehicle's acceleration from 70 mph is not dramatic

[@GuyverGamingTV]

The Electric Volvo was very impressive, great looking truck as well. The Scania was epic, stunning interior.

[@chrishines6048]

Great video as always Tim. It's strange seeing normal everyday trucks going electric, but that electric Volvo did look nice

[@mmv.undecisive]

These electric lorries are going to be phenomenal for inner city drops... on the motorway they might be harder to run because of mileage limitations. All hail the legendary V8's

[@ThePapaja1996]

hybrid or fuelcell

[@mmv.undecisive]

@@ThePapaja1996 ey? V8's use fuel and E Lorries use batteries 😊

[@SRNT_SE]

For cities this is an amazing truck tbh, right tool for the right job springs to mind. Doing long haul logging? Well, a fossil engine will obviously be better suited for that. Running baked goods to a supermarket downtime at 4am, electrics here to save the day.

[@volvodashcam]

@@mmv.undecisive For most drivers in Europe it will work fine as long as tje infrastructure is there. 400km in one charge even during winter is no problem in some of the trucks. The 45 minutes break that every driver has to take after 4.5 hours will come before the battery is depleted so you can recharge. I follow a german youtuber that drives all arpund Germany in electric trucks and shows how it works today. He often does around 600-700km per day and sometimes even more.

[@volvodashcam]

@@josefv-y8m Also seen this guy. Most of his days are like with any other truck. The few times it's different is when the infrastructure isn't really there yet and he has to take a detour or a charger doesn't give the full speed so it's not enough after 45 minutes. But all that shows is that we have to add some more infrastructure/chargers for trucks.

[@britishfilmguy]

The electric volvo was quite impressive, and a decent range to which wasn't to bad, brilliant vlog Tim stay safe fella 👍

[@thomassim9143]

Completely stopping what your doing when you hear you're getting your lunch, 😂 my type of guy. Love the videos Tim!!!!

[@pauljarvis8919]

Awesome Tim, I hope you found time to visit Harrison’s transport today to see the fleet after playing with tractors and ladders in Liverpool with olly

[@markleese-gc2uh]

Hi Tim it’s Oscar, you passed my dad in his BJ waters lorry. He was just in front of the Mike Pontsenby lorry you commented on.

[@blackbirdmark495]

The Volvo place in Warwick is not far away from me, it’s nice to see inside the buildings. Another excellent video & a nice insight as to what electric trucks can do. 👍

[@gorillaz308]

The Volvo has me more impressed than anything electric yet! Still a little way to go yet. That T cab though is beautifully stunning, what a machine!

[@showme360]

Volve are the leaders for now, but soon the long await Syber truck will be released. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpeamqWajdNqrqM

[@KuroSanArts]

There's a recent Fully Charged vid about a company that has been converting existing trucks to electric and it uses a swappable battery system that can be done in just a few mins. I think while the technology is changing so quickly, that their method makes so much more sense than the enclosed system used in other vehicles like the Volvo! It is a nice truck though, I bet the price requires you to be sitting in a chair to hear it though lol

[@gavontheroads]

I had the pleasure of seeing a beautiful black Scania T cab V8 pulling a huge excavator and my first thaught was tim would love this. Love your videos keep it up pal

[@SCANIA374]

The Volvo was nice but nothing beats a T Cab V8 brilliant video keep up the good content👋🏻👋🏻👍🏻

[@jayd1974]

Jeez that Scania T Cab is ☝️ the best trucks I’ve seen superb👌

[@RichPAFC1987]

These in the near future will be a requirement within London, so can see the big firms setting up yards around the M25 for swaps between diesel and electric tractor units.

[@eoingilsenan1853]

I don’t know if anyone else noticed that Sean passed by in the wrecker while they were lowering the cab. Great video time

[@lewisjennings1176]

Just receive my biggest order thank you so much v8 tang stickers bottle opener and a Signed picture good work tim

[@noooo_safechat2589]

Warwick lad here, I remember seeing this truck on the road and thought to myself "An electric Volvo? Ugh..." until I recognised who was driving 🤣Gave you a tang, but don't think you noticed

[@MarkGaudie]

I’ve been crying out for our company to bin the LNG trucks and go electric. I’ve had electric cars for years and always wanted an electric truck. They are just better to drive hands down. Range isn’t an issue neither as I only do about 150 mile a day.

[@josefv-y8m]

...check the channel "Elektrotrucker"...he drove even from north germany to south of spain. His Iveco has a real range of 500km...in summer 600km...and this is sufficient to cover the legal driving time of 4.5h...then 45mins to charge within the law break...he drives the same distances like any Diesel driver already per day. Only not sufficient for very fast driving with two drivers...which is very seldom. It is only a matter of infrastructure to charge, which is sufficient for this currently low amount of trucks in germany...only about 200000 so far...compared to 3.5 Mio Diesel Trucks. BUT the orders for eTrucks are really heavy at Mercedes, MAN, Volvo and Iveco. The OEMs are forcasting that they will sell more electric Trucks in 2030 than Diesel Trucks...this change will happen faster than for cars. His employeer ordered already ten new additionaly eActros 600 from Mercedes, which makes 43 eTrucks for them...they fade out Diesels step by step...soon. Simply because they are cheaper already now...and only cost are important for road haulier.

[@samlovestech6980]

At 14:39 was that Lombardo’s truck!

[@joelhall8355]

The electric truck looks great with the lower cab height which would reduce some forward blindspots, but that T cab was on another level

[@Freewheel272]

20:00 Yeah, a Swingo Sweeper 🥹😄🥰 of course the Torpedo is beautiful too 😉

[@WGR-xp2zf]

Having almost 900 hours in ets2 as Tim was starting my mind reproduced a sound of an actual engine, and then i remembered that this volvo is electric XD

[@zzaacckk123]

0:15 When a new Trucker Tim video notification pops up on the blower. 😅

[@AdotBooM]

This is brilliant! The more i watch Trucker Tim videos the more i want to drive a truck, currently working in haulage but would rather drive :)

[@cameronhaley3743]

Great video Tim absolutely beautiful electric truck Volvo have made there and that t-cab such a beauty she is

[@Swiftescape685]

Great vlog Tim, it’s amazing technology from Volvo however nothing can match the awesome sound of a Scania V8 purring away lol

[@ianwiggins5499]

Chuck it to him next time, you’re at Volvo Warwick, give me a shout and I will come round and live round the corner from there😅😮

[@GeorgeD-ir5ow]

Loved this tim your one of the best people out there! KEEP UPLOADING!!!!!!!

[@trainspotter66]

These video get better every time I swear but they are always good. Well done Tim ❤😊

[@sishabadab6570]

Have you ever seen electric cars when they catch fire. ? Imagine the battery pack on this vehicle going up in flames. Even a relatively small Tesla can take 40,000 gallons of water to extinguish it.. Sobering thought for the Fire Brigade.

[@kellychick7647]

Great video Tim driven electric truck how cool was that keep ou the good work

[@jasonbromfield4231]

Awesome Tim That Electric Truck was the future right there.👍👍

[@yahyaali2346]

Tim I love this truck that you are in right now

[@joroyle8108]

T cab now that’s a proper truck

[@stephenredfern7536]

We've got 2 of those. No road tax is a plus but don't know if that will continue. They only do local collections from factory to Warehouse.

[@tommyd4829]

Yes Tim 😂…I live 30 seconds away from Volvo warwick HQ let me know next time so I can get a selfie with you 👍👍 absolute legend mate love it 😊

[@philedwards0411]

That 730 t cab........... wow! 😍

[@johnturner7165]

Awesome vid tim i cant get over how quiet the electric fm was i even put headphones on full to listen out for road noise and that t cab is a dream i can see you have a self portrait on the front of yours and airbrushing of the kuga and other motor stars down the sides 🤣🤣🤣 keep up the great content i cant wait for update on the r series and the 4 series they will look immense together mate you may have to do that for a reveal 👍🤠🤠

[@chrisraw9948]

Can’t wait to see the R series to be finished

[@mmv.undecisive]

Brother the R series ain't even getting the beans. The 4 series is gunna be the one that makes heads turn properly 😂

It’s the 4 series you wanna see the r series is the work horse

[@Carsandfirealarm]

Mt I can't wait to see it to

[@benjywilson8656]

Can’t wait to see both those trucks Tim is building his company slowly and hopefully will get the turn out he wants he’s a good man who persuing his dreams and it takes time and it’s honestly an honour watching his channel I’m a big supporter of his Keep it up Tim ➡️➡️Lets goooooooo⬅️⬅️

[@rtmarshallrm]

looks like you had a mint day Tim playing in them trucks. 👍 👌 😀

[@TruckerTim]

I did, it was amazing!

[@andrewpaine2148]

Who makes the batteries for these then Duracell? 😂😂😂😂 that killed me tim bro 😂😂

[@certifiedreviews7087]

Watch on 11:49 to 11:51 what a driver the goes through a red light you legend tim 😂😂

[@TheSuperiorHQ]

It was green to turn left which Tim did

[@WarwickRoadAndy]

As a traffic signal manager I can confirm the green left turn filter arrow was on and therefore was legally able to turn left 👍🏻

[@rhyshunter1972]

that 730 at end what is i call a truck.needs straight exhaust though to go with the sexy look.awsome truck ide use it as me daily

[@Danfazza-ey6mx]

Love how he said 300km range to make it sound like a lot… to put it in to simple terms you couldn’t do 4 hour’s drive in it before it needed recharging. The concept of electric vehicles is fine but the technology and infrastructure in this country isn’t up to scratch to go full electric in another few years. Good vid tim

[@deano3580]

True is not a huge range. They will be used to pull lighter loads on set, predictable routes for now. Charging will have to be at the depot only. There is another video about Tesla semis being used on crisp haulage in California. The economics will also have to work out as haulage is a numbers business first and foremost.

[@Danfazza-ey6mx]

@@deano3580 I get what your saying and like I said the concept of all electric vehicles is great and I’m for it so long as the infrastructure and technology in terms of battery range gets better and places to charge improves. My main reason for not buying a electric car boils down to lack of range on a full charge.

[@redcollective]

@@Danfazza-ey6mx 400-600kms range on a Janus electric conversion with a hot swappable battery. Things are moving really quickly.

[@jamiedpsiphone3g]

This truck is mainly for deliveing into central London and other places where diesels will be banned before long not running the length of the country. Looks a cool piece of kit!

[@dannymorris6848]

This country isn’t even ready for electric cars let alone trucks, imagine a charge station full of trucks, cars, coaches 😂😂it would be like operation stack on the m20 !!never going to work

[@christopherfairs9095]

Very impressive; these are really early days for battery electric heavy vehicles. When the range doubles and charging time is halved, people won't be deriding them. As technology improves, they are bound to replace their noisier diesel forebears that have served the industry well. Eventually, many could be autonomous with large labour savings and increased profitability for owners. Of course, this will be resisted, as no one wants to see jobs disappear in the same way they did, for example, when tautliners replaced roping and sheeting gangs in factory fleets. Looking at the technology, I wonder whether or when they will use steer by wire, 48 volt auxiliary systems and electric actuators instead of air brakes, obviating the need for a compressor while reducing weight.

[@fd5903]

800 km range + 30mn charging time is the answer.

[@fuzzytheblueracer6133]

i don't even have to watch the video to know i still like the Scania V8 more

[@roberts.wilson1848]

At this moment in time, i think that the trailers should be the ones having batteries, a lot of them, capable of traversing 1000 miles in one go, on top of what the tractor truck is capable. The trailers are rented only and to be detached at a destination, and then charged up there. Ofc the shipping company will pay for the energy fill, just like they do for regular fuel in the present day trucks. The main advantage is that any warehouse out there has huge roofs that are gathering dust. Those could be filled to the brim with solar panels and thus generate FREE energy. The trailers will lose some payload capacity for the delivery, but this is the best measure to allow the semitrailer trucks to work efficiently, and as new battery techs get developed and enter consumer grade usage, simply swap out the present day gen with the new ones. Thus reducing the weight penalty.

[@acourierfromtheuk]

That T Cab is a right sort 😍

[@JRT313]

Still a long way off long haul you ain’t getting a good 800k day out of an electric truck just yet! Not being a negative Nancy though I’m still impressed that truck was very clever!

[@dennisbekkema3586]

Terrific job Tim. I wonder how far you would get travelling the Swiss mountains. Also, if you break down, only an an authorized dealer can work on it. Hmmmm!

[@dan8517]

Hi I love your vids and I got your stickers and the personalised trucker Tim photo and it said happy 12th birthday Daniel 👍

[@davepakey71]

The kms I’ve done today id have to charge it up twice,

[@MarkGaudie]

Asda should be ordering these asap! We can charge at stores or at the depot.

[@williamnelson5488]

Isn't it amazing how they can put the exhaust pipe miles away!! Ya know....power plants, excavators to mine the metals for the batteries........

i seen quite a feew of electric volvos last year at truckfest scotland

[@kaarel545]

Bit surprised that non of the European truck manufacturers have tried to do a Diesel Electric like the Edison truck prototype in Canada. Could be good for long haul in mountainous regions.

[@MarkGaudie]

That’s a huge buffer on that battery pack. 30% that your can’t access. Normally it’s around 10-20% reserved. I get it, for longevity but still seems excessive!

[@MrJonah53]

No Tax, till they bring in the tyre and brake tax. They'll get their ounce of flesh, one way or another.

[@ruairi_d]

Jeez that's really strange hearing no engine noise. I'd say that would take some getting used to. Think I still love me a diesel for now hahaa

[@TruckerTim]

I think it would take quite a bit of getting used to , impressed with it though 👍👍

@@TruckerTim we all know it be r series but think should bring Volvo on the low loader are you camping there all weekend?

[@MrAdopado]

The reason you get more range in town is not because you do lots of regenerative braking. The reason is simply because you are driving more slowly. The regenerative braking can only return about 70% of what you already added by accelerating ... so even with regen braking you are still losing some energy overall, though a lot less than you would if you were just using the energy heating up your brakes.

[@macky4074]

Really good for inner city multi drop work like I do, for all your distance work I think Germany trialled a good idea with a pantograph taking current from overhead lines above lane 1 and diesal engine for all other driving. No battery's to worry about minimal maintenance and no range issues. But no way our U.K government would invest in that kind of infrastructure imo

[@daddyjoemakesit1412]

Who was a naughty boy on that left turn Mr Tim haha, Nice Truck tho bet it will cost an arm and a leg and the biggest issue is finding a charging station that is on the route and what if out of charge in middle no where??? still looks nice

Just think this is early days for trucks being electric. The cars have come on massively with better technology in the past 10 years. Imagine how amazing electric trucks will be in 10 years from now. Why is adaptive cruise not standard on all trucks? Dumb really!
