Knowles Logistics reviews Volvo FE Electric truck

Following the recent purchase of a Volvo FE Electric truck, Knowles Logistics’ new wheels are already proving to be a hot choice for its driver, Ben Fox.

Having driven it for a three-week period to establish its suitability within Knowles’ operation, Fox has been enthusiastic about the vehicle highlighting its responsiveness, nimble handling and low noise output as the standout benefits when behind the wheel.

Primarily used for urban deliveries within the Cambridgeshire area where Knowles Logistics is based, driver Ben believes the Volvo FE to be well suited for short-drop routes.

“Overall, the driving experience of the FE has been positive. Reduced noise pollution comparative to a combustion engine HGV means that the truck is ideally suited for urban areas, especially for night-time operations and driving within quieter neighbourhoods.”

“With instant torque and a vibration-free operation the truck provides a comfortable experience, which ultimately contributes to a smoother overall driving environment. This can be particularly handy when navigating during rush hour or handling especially heavy loads.”

“While range still remains an ongoing concern, they can still be a valuable asset as long as its limitations are well understood. Having recently operated it on trial within the Cambridgeshire area, the vehicle presented no range issues as we were only travelling around 150km per day – which is well within its 200km capabilities.”
