Leading-edge safety.
Toward zero accidents.
Its apart of our DNA
Since 1927, safety has been the guiding principle for everything we build. We invented the three-point safety belt and were the first to introduce it as a standard feature in trucks. We also introduced the driver-side airbag and are still the only truck manufacturer to include it as standard in every vehicle we make.
Volvo Active Driver Assist
The next generation Volvo Active Driver Assist (VADA) system, standard in all VNR models, integrates radar and camera capabilities to reduce the risk of collisions by 82%.
Integrated camera and radar
VADA brings together two important views of the road for improved safety. That data is enhanced with an onboard camera that is constantly observing the road whenever the vehicle is above 5 miles per hour.
Volvo Dynamic Steering
The revolutionary Volvo Dynamic Steering (VDS) system provides a safer, more comfortable experience for the driver – dampening vibration, improving low speed maneurabilty, and ehnaicng stability at road speeds.
A driver's side airbag, better visibility and a high-strength steel cab. And—to avoid crashes—advanced active safety systems.
Blind spot radar
A radar, mounted on the passenger side of the tractor, monitors a 150-degree field of view for traffic in the adjoining lane.
Cruise auto resume
Should the system apply service brakes while Adaptive Cruise Control is on, the vehicle can accelerate back to the set cruising speed automatically if a safe following distance is re-established.
Heads up display
A collision warning light is projected as a red bar in the windshield when a vehicle or other object is too close.
Lane departure warning
Tracks the road markings and provides and audible alert to the driver when they are drifting into another lane of traffic.
Adaptive Loading
Adaptive Loading features a basic traction mode that stabilizes your trailer during loading and unloading, and an enhanced traction mode that automatically provides unmatched traction on steep grades or in hazardous conditions.
Volvo I-Shift transmission
I-Shift takes away the physical and mental demands of changing gears, which reduces driver fatigue and provides more time for the driver to give full attention to surrounding traffic.
LED lighting
To improve visibility and reduce maintenance, Volvo employs LED bulbs for all exterior and interior lighting. All models feature LED high/low beam headlights, LED turn, marker, and parking lamps. The premium headlamp also features a “signature” LED daytime running light.
Industry leading, just in case
Built to exceed the demanding Swedish Cab Safety Test, our High-Strength Steel (HSS) cabs have the industry’s highest strength-to-weight ratio, protecting the driver by absorbing as much crash energy as possible.
Volvo Enhanced Stability Technology
By continually monitoring operating parameters, VEST detects imminent loss of control, jackknife, or rollover events. The system automatically reduces engine torque and selectively applies braking to help keep the truck on course.
Driver side airbag
The Volvo VNR adds the option of a side rollover airbag for your drivers. Built into the seat, this airbag deploys in case of a rollover to help prevent contact with the side of the cab.
