This partnership withImpulsion 2025 reflects its commitment to transforming the transport of goods and people, which is highlighted among the priorities of this edition.
Volvo Trucks offers a complete range of electric trucks suited to regional transport and construction, providing Quebec businesses with sustainable and high-performing solutions. Mack Trucks, primarily active in North America, has developed the LR Electric, an electric truck designed to reduce emissions and noise pollution in urban environments.
The group's companies perfectly demonstrate the alliance between innovation and sustainable development, two pillars at the heart of the discussions at Impulsion 2025. By joining forces and visions, the Volvo Group helps make the Summit a platform to build an electric future for Quebec and beyond.
