Safer trucks on the street
Busy streets, narrow passages and people moving around the truck. These are conditions that put special safety requirements on both truck and driver.
We know what's going on out there. We know what accidents look like. That's why we do so many extra tests that are not called for by legislation.Traffic & Product Safety Director, Volvo Trucks
What makes the Volvo FL safer? (6)
Collision Warning with Emergency Brake
If there’s a risk of colliding with a vehicle or another object, warning lights alert you. If an impact is imminent, the automatic emergency brake quickly comes to your assistance.
Lane Keeping Support
This system tracks road markings with a camera. When it looks like you’re straying over them, it’ll ping you a signal.
ESC
The Electronic Stability Control uses engine power and individual wheel brakes to reduce the risk of skidding and rollover.
I-Sync
I-Sync makes driving safer since there’s no heavy clutch, and no stick to wrestle with. The simplicity of the system reduces driver fatigue and ups focus, helping you to concentrate on the road and the traffic around you.
Safe drivers
A trained driver works efficiently without compromising on safety. Volvo Trucks driver training programmes give drivers the tools to do just that.
Testing
Swedish cab strength test. Barrier test. Roll-over test. Sled test. Head impact test. The Volvo FL has passed them all. And the tests are thorough – with the interior fittings in place and full storage compartments. We know that this is among the safest trucks on the market.
