Volvo manufactures EPA SmartWay-verified technologies.
Volvo Trucks is proud to partner with the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency to manufacture EPA SmartWay-verified
technologies. This type of technology is found on our
SmartWay Certified VN Tractors. Volvo has developed a
comprehensive package of SmartWay components that
deliver high fuel efficiency and low emissions.
Volvo SmartWay tractors are equipped with:
• SCR engines certified to the very strict U.S. EPA ’10
emissions standards.
• Aerodynamic enhancements, including integrated high roof
fairings, fuel tank side fairings, side fairing gap reducers,
plus aerodynamic bumpers and mirrors.
• Anti-idling options.
• Low-rolling resistance tires.
What makes a Volvo VN a certified SmartWay vehicle?
The EPA’s SmartWay program has strict requirements that
each truck must meet to become a Certified SmartWay truck.
Volvo starts with a sophisticated aerodynamic design, honed
through extensive computer simulation and wind tunnel testing.
Then we add enhancements.
Aero bumper
Volvo’s aerodynamic bumper optimizes airflow around
and under the vehicle, and has an optional extended
drag reduction plate to reduce turbulence behind the
bumper for even better airflow.
Chassis fairing
The full-length chassis fairing reduces wind resistance over
chassis-mounted components such as fuel tanks.
Aero mirrors
Even a small component can make a difference for wind
resistance, so Volvo’s mirrors are smoothed and rounded to
catch as little air as possible when traveling down the road.
Roof fairing
Moving the air smoothly from over the cab to over the trailer
makes a huge difference. Our integrated cab high roof fairings
bridge the gap, whether the cab has a flat, mid- or full-height
roof. We even offer a patented adjustable fairing extension with
a trim tab, so operators can precisely tailor their aerodynamics
to their trailer, for up to a 1% increase in fuel efficiency.
Cab side extenders
Cab side extenders reduce the distance between the back
of the cab and the front of the trailer, for a major aerodynamic
boost. Volvo’s extenders and optional extended fairings
feature a compound curve that matches the cab curve to
the trailer. This allows the truck to pass the air to the trailer
with minimum turbulence.
Lower emissions plus greater fuel efficiency.
That’s smart.
Low emissions are central to SmartWay goals, and Volvo’s D11,
D13 and D16 SCR engines are certified to the stringent EPA ’10
emissions requirements. Volvo SCR engines can deliver 5%
better fuel efficiency than our previous generation of engines.
