Volvo Trucks North America recently added nine more Certified EV dealer locations to its North American network as the company continues to lead the industry’s transition to electromobility.
Since TEC Equipment – Fontana became the first Volvo Trucks Certified EV Dealer in July 2021, the network has expanded rapidly to 83 certified locations across 33 U.S. states and four Canadian provinces. The latest additions bring four new states — Colorado, Louisiana, Maryland, and Nevada — and four new dealer groups into the program. Another 13 locations are currently in the certification pipeline.
To become a Certified EV dealer, dealers complete extensive EV training and invest in facility upgrades to deliver full sales and service support for battery-electric trucks. Volvo’s newest Certified locations are:
- Bergey’s Truck Centers – West Milton, Pennsylvania
- Bergey’s Truck Centers – Carlisle, Pennsylvania
- Kriete Truck Center – Franksville, Wisconsin
- Nextran Truck Center – Commerce City, Colorado
- Old River Truck Sales - Saint Rose, Louisiana
- Potomac Truck Center - Hyattsville, Maryland
- TEC Equipment – Las Vegas, Nevada
- Transource, Inc. - Raleigh, North Carolina
- Worldwide Equipment - Cincinnati, Ohio
All 83 of Volvo’s Certified locations support more than 700 Volvo VNR Electric trucks now operating across the United States and Canada. The company says these vehicles have logged more than 20 million zero-tailpipe-emission miles, eliminating an estimated 34,000 metric tons of CO₂ — the equivalent of taking more than 7,000 passenger cars off the road for a full year.

These North American also results contribute to Volvo Trucks’ global momentum in heavy-duty electrification. Since launching its first electric trucks in 2019, Volvo has delivered more than 5,700 electric vehicles across 50 countries, which have collectively driven 250 million kilometers (155 million miles).
“Reaching this milestone is a testament to our customers’ commitment to sustainable transportation and our dealer network’s dedication to supporting them every step of the way,” says Peter Voorhoeve, president of Volvo Trucks North America. “The path to zero emissions is shaped by market conditions, which are moving slowly. We remain committed to our vision to create a world we want to live in by using zero emissions solutions in combination with fuel efficient combustion engines with reduced climate impact. Solutions that will work for our clients where sustainability meets affordability.”
