With a total power of 70MW, the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) installation will be one of the largest in Sweden and marks an important step in Volvo Group’s fossil free journey.

Volvo Energy has delivered ten PU2000 Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to the Volvo Trucks plant in Tuve, Gothenburg. With a total power of 10 MW, the installation is one of the largest commercial and industrial battery energy storage projects in Sweden to date — and an important step in future-proofing one of Volvo Group’s key production sites.

As the demand for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) continues to rise globally, safety remains one of the industry’s most critical priorities. Volvo Energy BESS comes with a unique direct fire injection technique that can significantly improve thermal runaway mitigation in battery packs for stationary energy storage applications.

Battery Energy Storage Systems, or BESS, are becoming increasingly relevant for quarry operations, where power demand, site conditions, and operational needs can vary significantly over the day or week. A BESS can make a real difference by helping operators lower costs, improve flexibility, add new revenue streams and make better use of available grid power during idle periods.

The electrification of commercial vehicles and machinery is a key component in the decarbonization and evolution of the transport and industrial sectors. With widespread availability, declining costs, rapidly improving infrastructure and clear economic benefits, adoption is expected to accelerate over the coming decade. However, practical and operational challenges still need to be addressed.

With a rising demand for electric vehicle (EV) and industrial batteries, the European Union is replacing the current Battery Directive with an ambitious new regulation covering all categories of batteries. The purpose is to support a sustainable battery industry, improve the functioning of the internal market within the EU, boost a circular economy and mitigate environmental and social impact related to batteries. At the Volvo Group, we are pleased to see our core values being supported by regulation.

The more an electric vehicle (EV) battery is used, the greater the benefits are. The Volvo Group works to ensure that every battery that powers Volvo applications is used to its full potential, before being carefully recycled. By doing so, we create a circular business model of second life batteries, reduce environmental impact and accelerate the shift towards a zero-emission future.
