Gothenburg, Sweden – In a groundbreaking press conference today, Volvo Trucks announced its latest innovation in sustainable transportation: the world’s first insect-powered truck. The new line, dubbed the “Volvo BuzzzLine,” harnesses the untapped kinetic energy of bugs to fuel its engines.

“We’ve always been at the forefront of green technology,” said Volvo’s head of R&D, Dr. Johan McFly. “But this time, we’ve really outdone ourselves. By utilizing the natural energy of locust swarms and beetle herds, we’re revolutionizing the industry.”

The BuzzzLine trucks are equipped with specialized “Bug Turbines” that capture insects mid-flight and convert their flapping wings into usable energy. This not only provides a renewable energy source but also helps with pest control, a win-win for the environment. Volvo’s commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop there. The trucks’ interiors are upholstered with spider silk – five times stronger than steel and twice as eco-friendly as traditional materials. The exterior paint is a special blend of crushed fireflies, giving the trucks a natural glow and reducing the need for headlights.

“The future is bright, and it’s filled with bugs,” proclaimed McFly, as a swarm of bees buzzed approvingly in the background.

Critics have called the move “un-bee-lievable” and “a flight of fancy,” but Volvo is confident that the BuzzzLine will set a new standard for eco-friendly transport. “It’s not just about thinking outside the box,” said McFly. “It’s about thinking outside the hive.”

The BuzzzLine trucks are set to hit the roads by 2025, and Volvo is already in talks with leading entomologists to ensure a steady supply of bugs. “We’re not just truck manufacturers anymore,” said a Volvo spokesperson. “We’re now the biggest bug catchers in the business.”
