I am very impressed, this is what happens when you have the right passionate people given the right tools to craft an excellent work of art. Well done Team Volvo and & Family.
It's always nice to see a company such as Volvo with a deep commitment to driver safety and comfort more than just the bottom line. Way to go, Volvo. :)
Volvo trucks I am a former ambulance clinician turned Class 1 Heavy Goods Driver. I am passionate about road safety and I am proud to be the driver of a new Volvo FH! I believe Volvo are the front runners in safety systems within Heavy vehicles and you are really making this profession something to be proud of! I am firmly a follower, supporter and overall fan of your work. You guys make my job easier, more comfortable and safer and for that I thank you! One day Ill be paying a visit to Volvo Trucks HQ Sweden all the way from Scotland.
Driving the new Volvo since April- still positively surprising me! Steering is pretty perfect. Engine and gearbox responding so well. Fuel consumption is very good, saving me money- average consumption is 29,6( very often with 28 tons of load, 44T gross weight). Thank You Volvo!
But the Dynamic Steering isn't present, you have to make alot of moves park the truck in a tight place. Please work with them to make it happens, please please, and help them add more trucks, please.
My brother drives a Volvo truck and loves it. We are a Volvo family. Volvo cars are the best! I drive a 1986 Volvo station wagon with 350,000 miles on it; original engine & transmission!
I love trucks and truckers, my grandfather was a trucker his upcoming generation left this work and started jobs in companies, but I still love driving specially trucks
I got to this after realising the gymkhana lorry clearly doesn't have a live axil like the trucks I drive at work. Thank you Volvo for improving the safety & drivability of the next generation of trucks I drive on the road.
Say what you will, but the guy still has it. I don't care what type of trucks those were or what sort of safety precautions had been taken. That's pretty impressive.
My best friend works for BMW... He bought a VOLVO and now I know why. I am a Mechanical Engineer from CANADA. I will either buy a VW/AUDI TDI, or move to EUROPE and show you a couple things about Direct Injection / Common Rail. If I may, from the Polytechnical University of Toronto
I mean, this is all very well, but what I'm really interested in is how the system reacts to an ageing martial arts film star standing between two Volvo Dynamic Steering equipped trucks. I guess my question will never be answered :(
Dear Volvo, I'm glad to see that all your fancy technology is only available for the rest of the world while us Americans get to deal with the old Volvo technology from the early 2000s.
The reason for this is presumably because trucks in the US run on 2 12 Volt batteries in parallel, so the entire truck runs on 12V. In Europe however trucks run on 2 batteries in series, thus 24V. The New Volvo (FH & FM) have a massive amount of ECU's on board, all running on 24V. For Volvo to introduce these new models in the US all the electronics and electrics would have to be redesigned. Considering Volvo is still in the process of rolling out the new FM and the heavy variants in production facilities around the world I wouldn't expect the new FH/FM to come to the US any time soon.
They might just do that, but I believe there's a reason they build trucks that run on 12V for the US market. I'm just not sure what that reason is, I'd have to ask an expert at work.
Typical trucks in North America are running 4 batteries at 12 Volts. I read somewhere that there are some carriers testing a Volvo FH here in Canada, complete with 24 Volt electrical systems. Any unforeseen incompatibilities with the trucks and electrical systems may be modified, and the Euro style Volvos may be placed for sale here afterwards. Please sign me up for testing/ purchase Volvo!
I still wish you explained in more detail how this steering system works. The steering system is way more interesting than JCVD (at least for career engineers like me).
Lol its funny, the system works on a similar fashion a digital MEMS Gyroscope Stabilizer sensor would do, very common to see on a model helicopter. Nice!
"We've removed all the haptic feedback so you have no idea what's going on with the tires of your truck and won't feel a think until you hit something. It's amazing!"
Sweeeds put your belt on BEFORE you start the truck? A bit presemptious...Isn't that more work? Because here in the USA with our crap electronics in our trucks ( our trucks 7 years old but still), we usually wait to see if it starts n has check engine on before we buckle up....I like Volvo...drove one a short time, was a nice truck.
If they have the same laws as Norway on this, starting the vehicle without the seatbelt is a minor violation of the law. you are required to wear a seatbelt if the vehicle is in operation (the vehicle is classified as "in operation" from the second you start it until you turn the key and stop the engine), and not doing so will get you a ticket, costing you roughly 140 dollars.
gabriel1205 Really?? That seems ridiculous. A seatbelt is of no use if the vehicle isn't moving. What if you need to leave the vehicle while it is parked but idling?
David Burton Yes really, offcourse you're not allowed to leave the car while it's idling.(unless it's an emergency of some sort). why would you need to leave the car while it's idling?
gabriel1205 .. well, not exactly "leave" the car. For example, if you have been working on the car you could have the engine idling while you check under the bonnet/hood for leaks or unusual noises, or do things like check the exhaust for too much smoke. .. Also, you could stop on the side of the road, and have the engine idling while you remove debris from the road (safely), or help an old person cross the road, or open a gate, etc. ... and it is common in countries that have very cold winters to leave the car warming up and demisting the windows for a while before you are able to drive it. .. I believe, some high performance turbo-charged cars are designed to keep the engine running for a short time after turning off the ignition to reduce the chances of damaging the turbo bearings. (ie. it keeps the oil flowing for a while to help cool the turbo.)
Heh, well, you are supposed to turn of the car if you intend to leave it. if keeping the car on is necesarry for some reason the police will understand and let you off, I know cold countries often leave the car on for a bit before you get in, I come from northern norway so I do it, it's not allowed but honestly it's not like I'm gonna get caught in my own driveway.
This is clever stuff and I can see the benefits of it, but I just wonder if all this new technology is taking more and more of the skill out of driving the truck in the 1st place by the driver? Just a thought.
Volvo Trucks, if you ever want to bring one of these FH's to the US, just let me know. I will test it for you, mostly hauling medium weight equipment to unprepared locations/fields. Just an open offer for you.
So just in the FH'S comfort zone then..and for the 750 big banger..just warming up. They regularly work over here solo at 150 Metric tonnes i.e.1Tonne=2200lbs not the 2000lbs US short ton (as we know it). I'm sure you would love it..esp the 750. Have a look at 'Heanor Heavy Haulage' see what they do with them. Greets from the UK.
--- you put the important controls system ..close to the front of the vehicle part, if there is the slightest collision, it will be messed up the whole Control system. ☹
I can remember when the large trucks did not have any form of power steering and instead had massive steering wheels in order for the driver to have enough leverage to steer the vehicle. I can also remember the power steering on the cars back in the '60s where it was not speed sensitive and it was always fully on, so whether at highway speeds or stopped, you could turn the steering wheel with just your little pinky -- I hated those systems since you had no feel of the road.
Why do European trucks have 2 axles on the truck and 3 axles on the trailer whereas American trucks typically have 3 axles on the truck and 2 on the trailer? I would think that having 2 axles on the truck would be better for weight distribution.
fly-by-wire technology introduced to Volvo trucks 2013. Previously available in fighter jets since the F-16; 1980s, to make flying less intensive on the pilot. it will soon be a standard option, if other truck makers want to compete with Volvo.
I am very impressed, this is what happens when you have the right passionate people given the right tools to craft an excellent work of art. Well done Team Volvo and & Family.
This guy's voice is so soothing. He could make relaxation tapes with the Enya music as a side job.

But the Dynamic Steering isn't present, you have to make alot of moves park the truck in a tight place. Please work with them to make it happens, please please, and help them add more trucks, please.
I have this on my truck. And I LOVE IT!

Would have never seen this if it wasn't for JCVD... Way to go Volvo!!! Keep on innovating.
Not a professional driver by trade, but this may very well be my next family vehicle
+Brian Moeller I can dream of a Volvo camper
Volvo is a genuinely good car company. You can tell they care deeply about their customers and their impact in the planet.
I love trucks and truckers, my grandfather was a trucker his upcoming generation left this work and started jobs in companies, but I still love driving specially trucks
Finally, a truck that has this feature. It really improves driving these big monsters. Good job Volvo!
Thanks VOLVO FOR DIRETIDE !!!

Only medium weight..? The FH is made for heavy hard work - the more weight, the better they pull!
Well, Medium weight in the heavy haul rating, so 250,000 pounds would be the top, empty weight would be around 80,000 pounds
So just in the FH'S comfort zone then..and for the 750 big banger..just warming up. They regularly work over here solo at 150 Metric tonnes i.e.1Tonne=2200lbs not the 2000lbs US short ton (as we know it). I'm sure you would love it..esp the 750.

super
And why don't we have those Trucks in the U.S/Canada ? =(

Does anyone know if this unit runs on 12 volts? Can it be utilized without a computer? Thanks
great now I want a volo truck xD
Van Damme me trajo...!!
Var där den dagen detta spelades in. Jobbade på RPG innan som tugg/lastbils förare. Här för mig att jag finns med på bild i bakgrunden.
GRATTIS BUBBEN!!!!!!!!!!!
between two Volvo FH trucks? or FM?
--- you put the important controls system ..close to the front of the vehicle part, if there is the slightest collision, it will be messed up the whole Control system.
☹
The better to make money for their replacement parts business... :)

Can I have a name of the model that has it in?
omg geniuses
is this tech available in volvo cars also?
Sounds like it is basically just speed sensitive power steering with a bit of a tweak for the larger trucks. Probably not needed on cars.
Just a PID!!! Easy!!!
how much does it cost
