Why VNX?

Reasons to love the vnx

From end-to-end, every feature of the VNX is built to stand up to any heavy-haul job you throw at it. Improvements are easy to see throughout the VNX including the bumper, axles, suspensions, braking, powertrain, and more. Every detail has been examined to increase durability and ensure you’ve got the tools you need to move extreme loads.

Wide Tires

Tires bear a huge burden in heavy-haul applications. The VNX is engineered to handle rugged tires that must stand up to extreme loads on punishing roads and construction jobsites. The VNX can accommodate front axle tire sizes up to 445 mm.

Durable Framerails

VNX framerails (side members) are constructed of 760 MPA heat-treated alloy steel with a yield strength of 120,000 psi. Several combinations of frame rail height, thickness, and liners are available to meet a wide variety of hauling requirements.

Fifth Wheel

Fifth wheels on the VNX feature a load capacity of 55,000 lbs. or greater and pull capacity of 150,000 lbs. or greater, ideal for trailer applications from low-boys to b-trains and long combination vehicles.

Powertrain

Performance and profitability meet

Heavy hauls require brute force and sharp wits. You’ll need power to get the load moving and fuel efficiency to make a profit doing it. At Volvo, fuel efficiency is a vital part of our commitment to your business and the planet we all share. We believe that fuel efficiency is more than a single feature; it’s a combination of customized solutions working together in perfect harmony. The result is fuel efficiency custom-built to help you cut operating costs whatever the load.

Power to Spare

Volvo D13

Volvo's family of engines builds on a foundation of prove, mature architecture, leveraging innovative hardware to maximize efficiency. Our ultra-reliable Volvo D13 500 hp, 1850 lb-ft delivers the power and torque needed to move large payloads with ease, even on the steep grades.

MAKE THE SHIFT TO LOW-SPEED STARTABILITY

I-Shift

Our newest I-Shift makes every load more productive, using intelligent electronics to continuously monitor grade, speed, weight, and engine load, shifting when necessary or holding a gear—whichever saves more fuel. So regardless of experience, training, or application, I-Shift helps every driver become more fuel efficient.

I-Shift with Crawler Gears

I-Shift with Crawler Gears has a 1,900 lb-ft. torque rating. It includes upgraded hardware and software including a new countershaft brake for improved performance and smoother shifting. And the electronic control unit can handle any load and any road, shifting perfectly every time.

Transmission Cooler

I-Shift’s transmission cooler optimizes fluid temperature in cold and warm climates, improving fuel efficiency even on heavy-haul loads. Connections throughout the transmission are also upgraded for faster maintenance stops.

Built for Extreme Applications

Bumpers

The rugged VNX bumper features a heavy-duty tow pin and center tow frame that equalizes forces to the chassis. The tow beam is constructed of remarkably strong, 100 ksi steel. The bumper fascia is constructed from .25" thick, high-strength alloy aluminum for reduced weight and is supported by welded internal bracing. The fascia features a tough, black polyester powder paint finish while all steel components are covered in urethane paint for extreme corrosion resistance.

Front Axles

Volvo steer axles are specifically designed for the demands of heavy-duty applications, with better control, easier handling, and less maintenance. The 16,500-lb. to 20,000-lb. capacity axles are the perfect choice for heavy-duty king pin with a tapered design. The Volvo axle provides improved handling, control and stability, as well as enhanced bearing clearance. The smooth, firm ride is maintained even in tight wheel cuts. A newly designed steering arm allows up to a 40-degree wheel cut with wide-based tires.

Rear Axles

Our drive axles are designed for heavy-duty hauling or on/off-road applications with ratings up to 55,000 lbs. The drive axle is ideally suited for heavy line haul, logging, mining, and construction. A wide selection of axle ratios allows you to tailor the drive axle to specific load and terrain requirements.

Rear Suspension

Our premium heavy-duty suspension is rated up to 52,000 lbs. The suspension design increases durability, reliability and handling characteristics.

Brakes

Volvo Heavy Duty Air Disc Brakes offer safety and performance in demanding long haul and vocational applications. A twin piston caliper design gives the VNX more controlled braking and a shorter stopping distance. Volvo Heavy Duty Air Disc Brakes utilize a 17” rotor with high level corrosion resistant calipers, increasing reliability, while working in conjunction with a friction couple (pad/rotor) longevity.

Interior

Seating has been ergonomically optimized, while the dashboard and steering wheel bring controls and information efficiently to the driver. And our latest VNX sleepers are loaded with amenities to make your drivers feel at home on the road.

VNX INTERIOR BREAKDOWN

Configurable LCD Driver Information Display

At the heart of the new and improved instrument cluster is a color LCD display. A full five inches wide, it can be configured to provide trip information, performance data, and a wide range of vehicle diagnostics.

Additional Control Cluster

Volvo integrates a wide selection of standard switches and gauges in every VNX. But because each application is unique, we’ve conveniently allocated space on the dash for you to customize an additional control cluster for your specific loads.

Sleep like never before

The VNX lineup now includes a full 70" sleeper option, providing an efficient, yet spacious living area. Volvo is proud to offer the first integrated, reclining bunk in a sleeper. The bunks are broader and more stable, featuring pocketed spring mattresses surrounded by an extra layer of foam.

Industry Leading

Softer, more consistent LED lighting creates a more peaceful environment and keeps power consumption low. When it's time to rest, integrated window shades block light with one simple motion.

NOT JUST A WORKSPACE, A SPACE THAT WORKS

The VNX lineup now includes a full 70" sleeper option, providing an efficient, yet spacious living area. Volvo is proud to offer the first integrated, reclining bunk in a sleeper. Fully adjustable, it’s like putting your favorite easy chair in the cab. The bunks are broader and more stable, featuring pocketed spring mattresses surrounded by an extra layer of foam. Cabinets taper at the rear for a balanced space between storage and the bunk.
