Volvo Trucks North America Tuesday revealed its new Volvo VNL series highway tractor, available in several configurations, including an all-new, 70-inch sleeper.
Volvo Trucks North America's new Volvo VNL series highway tractor, with improved fuel economy and designed with the driver in mind, is available in several configurations, including an all-new, 70-inch sleeper.
Volvo Trucks North America unveiled the VNL, its first new highway tractor in more than 20 years. HDT's Jack Roberts was there and filed this video report with his first driving impressions of the new truck.
The truck builds on Volvo’s established styling cues combined with dynamic new features, such as swept-back headlights that include signature Volvo daytime running lights, and a bold new Volvo grille and hood.
Exterior styling aside, a lot of developments have occurred over the past two decades. And it’s obvious that even more are rapidly approaching. Volvo's new VNL reflects many of those current and future trends.
The companies also said they plan to coordinate deployment planning across priority freight corridors and define routes and operational design domains for U.S. commercial service while laying the groundwork for expansion into key European markets.
