Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

58: Volvo Trucks boss Roger Alm on EVs, hydrogen and China
Q: What needs to happen for European truck CO2 targets to be met, and where does infrastructure come into play?
Achieving targets requires collaboration among policymakers, energy suppliers, and manufacturers, plus a robust charging grid and grid capacity; Volvo is preparing for a broader electrification push while continuing to improve diesel efficiency and offering a complete ecosystem for customers.
58: Volvo Trucks boss Roger Alm on EVs, hydrogen and China
Q: What role does hydrogen play in Volvo's long-term decarbonization strategy alongside battery electric?
Hydrogen is part of a balanced portfolio alongside battery electric and renewable-fuel options; hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen combustion will be viable where they fit customer requirements, and Volvo plans to be at the forefront of all these technologies, not betting on one silver bullet.
58: Volvo Trucks boss Roger Alm on EVs, hydrogen and China
Q: How does Volvo view the progression from a single electric truck to an entire electrified range in terms of market impact?
The entire range across segments demonstrates depth and resilience, with eight electric models in serial production; this breadth supports customer reach, accelerates adoption, and reinforces the business case through scale and learning.
55: Grilled in the Cafe: Richard Skidmore, MD, Daimler Truck UK
Q: What's the first decision you made on your first day?
To listen first—meet with a key customer to understand their requirements, and then align the organization around those needs, leveraging his background in aftersales and services to shape the approach.
55: Grilled in the Cafe: Richard Skidmore, MD, Daimler Truck UK
Q: Is it a good thing that we've got a Brit at the helm?
Nationality isn't the core factor; understanding industry culture and working with a diverse group of drivers and customers is what matters, and Skidmore emphasizes cultural empathy and experience across markets.
