The network will also be open to all heavy-duty vehicle brands, and will be able to support medium-duty truck charging as well.
Meanwhile, Volvo and its commercial truck brand Volvo and Truck Mack will help identify which Pilot and Flying J travel hubs should prioritize for charging infrastructure.
This identification is based on the volume of the deployment of battery-electric trucks, the need and pattern of customer charging, as well as the availability of federal and state funding to support cost capital.
