As a web designer, I had to compare it to the Tesla truck page:
https://www.tesla.com/semi https://www.tesla.com/semi
Was not disappointed. The Volvo page is very Volvo and the Tesla page is very Tesla.
- Unklejoe 6y agoThe Volvo page is so much better in my opinion. It's neat with decent information density. I'm not a fan of pages that try to do the whole dynamic immersive full screen huge picture thing.
- TooCreative 6y agoThe Volvo page has a lot of text. But does it have information? On the Volvo page, I do not see a single piece of information before I scroll. Instead I see fluff like "We know that many transport operators work hard to reduce the environmental footprint..." On the Tesla page, I see four pieces of information right away. Acceleration, energy consumption, drag coefficient and that it has four independent motors.
- Someone 6y agoOn the other hand, I don’t think any of the numbers Tesla gives is of direct interest to those who buy such large trucks (with the exception of the D energy consumption, which implies “cheaper to operate”, but what fraction of a truck’s cost is spent on fuel?) Volvo’s ‘fluff’ at least hints at “this truck may be allowed to enter city centers” and “disability payments to drivers may go down”.
- kungtotte 6y agoRoughly 1/3 of the operating costs of trucking is the fuel, another 1/3 is wages, and then the remaining 1/3 covers everything else (facilities, maintenance, repairs, purchase cost of vehicles, insurance, etc. etc.). So ~33% of a truck's cost is spent on fuel.
