Buying decision
The EvCompass verdict
The key arguments drawn from the published data and the EvCompass editorial summary.
Designwerk publishes installed and usable capacity separately, which most manufacturers in this database do not — 1000 kWh gross is 864 kWh usable, and that openness is worth more here than the pack size itself. The 340 kWh LFP version is cheaper and longer-lived, the NMC versions lighter per kilowatt-hour. The choice depends on whether you are counting kilometres or years.
Strengths
- Quotes installed and usable capacity separately.
Weaknesses
- The 1,000 kWh gross pack provides 864 kWh usable, so the capacity name alone overstates the energy available for driving.

Volvo FM-based distribution and municipal e-truck. Battery menu identical to the High Cab: 340 LFP (323 usable) / 375 NMC (324) / 500 NMC (432) / 750 NMC (648) / 1000 NMC (864). Ranges without trailer: 250 / 275 / 365 / 550 / 730 km. Axle configurations and weights: 4x2R 18-26 t, 6x2R 26-32 t, 8x2R and 8x4R tridem or tandem 32 t, 10x4R 40 t GVW, and 4x2T/6x2T/6x4T semi-tractor at 40 t GCW. gvwKg 40000 records the 10x4R top of the rigid range; the majority of Mid Cab builds are 18-32 t. IMAGE GAP: only two verified Designwerk-hosted images; the press media package is the route to more.
