Buying decision
The EvCompass verdict
The key arguments drawn from the published data and the EvCompass editorial summary.
Volvo does not differentiate performance here, only role: the battery, the power and the permitted 65 tonnes are shared with the FH, and the choice comes down to cab and axle configuration. FM Electric units entered Lidl's Polish fleet in September 2023 and are one of the few confirmed electric truck deployments in Poland. Volvo does not publish a price.
Strengths
- A confirmed deployment in a Polish fleet, not merely a listing.
Weaknesses
- Volvo’s table lists power levels of 300, 350, 400, 470 and 540 kW without saying which are continuous and which are peak.

Research notes
The sources and research notes behind the figures, claims and editorial assessment.
Shares the FH Electric driveline and battery system exactly; the difference is cab and application (urban/regional distribution, container work, crane bodies). Gen 1 (2022): 540 kWh, up to 300-380 km depending on source, 250 kW CCS, 490 kW continuous / 666 kW peak, 2,400 Nm motor torque, GCW 44 t. Gen 2 (April 2026): as recorded here. Volvo's spec table does not label the 300/350/400/470/540 kW power levels as continuous or peak.
