One minute – Tandem Axle Lift

By disengaging and raising the drive axel when the truck is unloaded, Volvo Trucks’ Tandem Axle Lift allows for a better turning radius and can save up to four per cent in fuel consumption when driving unloaded. As soon as the truck is loaded, the drive axle automatically lowers itself and engages to ensure maximum traction and driveability.

One minute – Automatic Traction Control

With Automatic Traction Control, Volvo Trucks is the first truck manufacturer in the world to offer automatic engagement of all wheel drive on construction trucks. The system activates front wheel drive when the rear wheels loose traction on slippery or soft ground. This means improved drivability and better economy for everyone in the construction and long-haul business.
