On March 21, Volvo Trucks North America revealed details of the all-new Volvo VNL that has gone into production at the New River Valley plant in Virginia.
The new Volvo VNL introduces a new era of efficiency with its advanced idle management system, featuring the ultra-quiet Volvo Parking Cooler, which serves as an integrated climate-control option, that leverages battery power to operate the cab’s HVAC system when parked overnight, eliminating engine idling, which contributes to lower emissions, reduced engine wear, and fuel savings.
The cab features enhanced insulation for noise reduction and climate control efficiency with all-new overlapping curtains with magnetic seal that includes both windshield and bunk curtains to virtually eliminate light in the cabin and provide the driver full control over their sleep environment.
The bunk curtains are available with an optional thermal barrier for warmer or colder locations.
The all-new Volvo VNL boasts customizable features to minimize fatigue while driving, including ergonomic seating options, optimized pedal positions, and intuitively placed controls to ease operation and reduce distractions.
An all-new digital 12-inch Driver Information Display (DID) replaces the analog gauges and can access a backup camera view.
Navigation can also be viewed on the DID or the optional 9-inch infotainment center to scroll through up to a total of seven exterior camera views, with protective covers that open when each camera is selected.
