Volvo Trucks' new generation of heavy-duty electric trucks has been named International Truck of the Year 2027. The award was announced at the IAA Transportation 2026 trade show, where the company's electric range took center stage.
The honor is Volvo's eighth in the award's history. This year's win is notable because it puts battery-electric heavy trucks at the center of IAA Transportation 2026, according to the announcement.
The award signals that electric heavy-duty trucks are gaining recognition in a category traditionally dominated by diesel models. Volvo's win highlights the company's push to expand its zero-emission truck lineup.
