The Wildwoods boardwalk authority announced on May 8, 2026 that three electric Volvo vehicles will be added to the historic tram‑car fleet on the Wildwood, New Jersey boardwalk. The new electric cars are slated to begin service in the summer of 2026, joining the existing tram‑cars that have long been a staple of the seaside attraction.
The partnership between the boardwalk authority and Volvo Cars brings the three electric vehicles onto the boardwalk to assist the iconic tram‑car operation. By integrating these zero‑emission vehicles, the boardwalk aims to modernize the ride while cutting the emissions associated with traditional powered transport on the promenade.
Implementation of the electric Volvo cars this summer will expand the fleet without altering the historic character of the tram‑car experience. The addition reflects a move toward greener transportation options for visitors and residents alike, aligning the boardwalk’s long‑standing tradition with contemporary environmental goals.
