This infrastructure will be accessible to heavy-duty vehicles of all brands.
“As we work to build a more sustainable, decarbonized transport system, our team firmly believes that partnership is the new leadership. We look forward to working side by side with Pilot Company, and combining our unique industry insights, expertise, and resources to develop a comprehensive, nationwide charging network,” said Peter Voorhoeve, President of Volvo Trucks North America.
Volvo will work with Pilot Company to determine which of the current Pilot and Flying J travel centers should be given priority for high-performance charging infrastructure based on the volume of battery-electric truck deployment that is currently deployed and anticipated to be deployed, the charging needs and habits of customers, and the availability of federal and state funding to support capital costs.
“Pilot Company and Volvo are wholly invested in transportation solutions that will guide and support the industry through the energy transition,” said Shameek Konar, CEO, of Pilot Company. “Joining forces with Volvo, an expert in freight technology, furthers our mutual commitment towards nationwide electrification and sustainable transportation infrastructure. This strategic partnership is aligned with our goal to meet customers where they are headed, now and in the future.
