Marley’s Transport, a leading provider of transport solutions for the agricultural industry, has solidified its commitment to a cleaner future, taking delivery of an electric Volvo FM.
The Volvo EV, delivered by Truck Centre WA, will be integrated into Marley’s fleet to service their customers in transporting produce and delivering supplies to the agricultural industry.
This strategic move aligns with the company’s broader sustainability initiatives and demonstrates its dedication to adopting innovative technologies that benefit both the environment and the agricultural community.
“My dad always said, ‘if you don’t stay at the front, you will get left behind’, which is a value we have always lived by,” said Marley’s Transport owner, Frank Marley.
“For us, this truck signifies our commitment to leading from the front, with sustainability and alternative fuels.”
Marley’s Transport will continue to explore opportunities to expand its fleet and adopt other eco-friendly practices to further its sustainability goals, continuing their philosophy of leading from the front.
“Marley’s have a proud history of innovating to find efficiencies across their business and I’m sure their pursuit of sustainable transport solutions and their embrace of emerging technology will serve them well into the future,” said Volvo Trucks Australia Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Tom Chapman.
To date, more than 80 Battery Electric Volvo Trucks have been delivered in Australia, with Volvo setting a target of having 50 per cent of its global volume as either battery electric or hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks by 2030. The Australian manufacture of Volvo Trucks battery electric vehicles is set to take place at Volvo Group Australia’s Wacol factory from as soon as 2028.
