The Latest In Volvo Trucks
Stories for our drivers and fleet managers.
The latest news from Volvo Trucks.
Each year, millions of drivers hit the road for summer travel, making safety critical, particularly at peak travel times such as the Labor Day weekend. Volvo Trucks has pulled together key safety tips for drivers that we hope you will share, along with information about Volvo Trucks’ innovative safety technologies.
Volvo Trucks is committed to protecting drivers on the road and has invested in state-of-the-art safety technologies that assist drivers to reduce the potential of on-road incidents. The new Volvo VNR and VNL series combine active safety innovations that make the new long-haul and regional-haul models the safest Volvo trucks ever. In fact, earlier this summer, Volvo Trucks and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) partnered with FedEx, using three state-of-the-art Volvo trucks to demonstrate an innovative autonomous technology that allows trucks travelling together to communicate with one another and drive as one, reducing drag, increasing fuel efficiency and helping to improve roadway safety.
"We’re always in pursuit of new technologies that allow our trucks to operate as safely as possible on roadways, and the VNR and VNL series epitomize this dedication,” said Magnus Koeck, vice president of marketing and brand management for Volvo Trucks North America. “With Labor Day fast approaching, marking one of the busiest travel times of the year, we want to encourage greater roadway safety through both our state-of-the-art safety features and education to the public on how to operate around large Class 8 vehicles.”
Some safety tips that drivers should keep in mind any time they are on the road include:
Some of the top safety features Volvo offers for professional truck drivers include:
Safety is the cornerstone on which Volvo founders Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larsson built the company, establishing safety as a core value in 1927. Gabrielsson and Larsson are famously quoted as stating, "A vehicle is made by and for people. Thus, the basic principle of all manufacturing is and must remain safety."
CAPTION: Volvo Active Driver Assist, a comprehensive, camera- and radar-based collision mitigation system, is standard equipment on the new Volvo VNR and VNL series. The system helps professional truck drivers monitor other vehicles on the road and provides alerts and even automatic braking to reduce risk of collisions.
