Centrally mounted, semi-undermounted and undermounted towbars for centre-axle trailers. Towbars can be fitted at intervals of 25 millimetres.

Fuel tanks

Aluminium or steel tanks in volumes from 150 to 900 litres. Maximum fuel volume is 1510 litres for a 4x2 tractor. Gas tanks in sizes 155 kg (375 l), 205 kg (495l) and 225 kg (545 l). For double front axles EU6 plastic fueltank between front axles.

AdBlue tanks

Volumes from 32 to 112 litres. AdBlue pump is integrated in AdBlue tank module. Plastic.

Brakes

EBS (Electronically-controlled Brake System) provides superior response, performance and brake feel, while providing access to a number of handy features. EBS is now available both for disc brakes and Z-cam drum brakes (for a selected range of axle configurations and chassis heights). Upgrade your brake system by adding the EBS Medium package or any of the additional options. EBS is standard on all specifications.

 

EBS medium

In addition to the EBS Standard package, EBS Medium adds the following features:

 

EBS status control 

EBS status monitoring via the TEA2+ vehicle electronic system and Volvo Tech Tool.

 

Auto hold

Brake the truck to a full stop and Auto Hold keeps the last applied braking pressure to hold the truck in position until the driver pushes the accelerator.

 

Lining wear analysis

Brake lining warning – calculates the remaining mileage available with the current brake linings (only for disc brakes).

 

Automatic parking brake release

The parking brake is released when the driver pushes the accelerator pedal and a gear is selected (only I-Shift gearbox).

 

 

Additional options:

In addition to the program packages there are the following options:

 

Stretch brake

Enables the driver to request pulse braking of the trailer. The brake is then automatically activated and the risk of jack-knifing is minimised.

 

ESC (Electronic Stability Control)

The brake stability system applies the brakes individually on each wheel, thereby providing stability for the entire vehicle combination and counteracting jack-knifing, rollover and trailer swing. ESC fulfills the legislation of Electronic Vehicle Stability Control, and is available for 2- and 3-, 4- and 5-axle vehicles.

 

Emergency brake light

When panic braking from speeds above 50 km/h, the brake lights flash four times per second. 

 

Hydraulic retarder

Gearbox-mounted compact retarder with a max effect of 440 kW.

Volvo Dynamic Steering

Active steering system with torque overlay. Delivers more steering force at low speeds, reduces steering kicks and keeps the steering wheel straight forward when braking on split friction. The steering wheel returns automatically to neutral position both when driving forward and when reversing. Volvo Dynamic Steering is now available for all axle configurations, including trucks with dual front axles. It’s also available in combination with individual front suspension.

Pusher axles
Available in fixed and actively steered variants for both tractors and rigids. Axle load: 4.5, 7.5 or 9 tonnes.


Tag axles
Available in several configurations – fixed with single or dual wheels, self steered or actively steered. Axle load: 7.5, 9.5 or 10 tonnes.

Tandem Axle Lift

Allows the rearmost drive axle on the tandem bogie to be disengaged and raised, to reduce fuel consumption and turning radius. By pushing a button on the dashboard, the driver can raise the axle when the truck is unloaded. When the truck is loaded, the axle automatically lowers itself and engages. Tandem Axle Lift is available for 6×4 and 8×4 configurations (with a tandem bogie) equipped with disc brakes.
 

Axle configurations Electric 

Tractor: 4x2, 6x2, 6x4

Rigid: 4x2,6x2, 6x4, 8x2, 8x4

All axles are air suspended
