Volvo Trucks North America has unveiled the company’s SuperTruck 2, with the debut on the company’s channel. The SuperTruck 2 program, a public-private partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) tasked OEMs with achieving a 100% freight efficiency improvement over their submitted 2009 baseline.

Volvo Trucks’ SuperTruck 2 will make its first public appearance in the Volvo Trucks booth (#4097) at the American Trucking Associations’ 2023 Management Conference & Exhibition, taking place October 14-17 in Austin, TX, offering a glimpse at styling and engineering cues for future generations of trucks.
