Volvo Enhanced Stability Technology (VEST).

Losing control, jack-kniﬁng, and rolling over are three of the

most dangerous incidents a driver can face. Standard on all

VNL tractors, Volvo Enhanced Stability Technology, or VEST,

continually monitors driver inputs and normal driving parameters.

When VEST detects that the truck is dangerously close to

an event such as a rollover, the system automatically reduces

engine torque and selectively applies the necessary braking

to help get the truck back on course.

Volvo Enhanced Cruise (VEC).

Being surrounded by smaller, more nimble vehicles can be

stressful. Volvo Enhanced Cruise (VEC) adds peace of mind by

helping the driver maintain a safe following distance. The front

bumper-mounted radar monitors vehicles driving in front of the

truck, and if they get too close, audio and visual warnings alert

the driver. If the truck continues to close on the vehicle, VEC can

automatically dethrottle the engine and apply the truck’s service

brakes to help prevent a collision or lessen its impact.

Lane Departure Warning.

This safety system uses a windshield-mounted camera to track

road markings. If the truck begins to drift, audio and visual alerts

warn the driver to get back into the correct lane.

SAFETY FEATURES

Industry-leading

safety.

Just in case.

To make sure that our trucks are the safest rigs on the road,

we combine advanced engineering with active and passive

safety systems.

Intelligent impact protection.

Built to pass the demanding Swedish Cab Safety Test,

our high-strength steel (HSS) cabs have the industry’s highest

strength-to-weight ratio, and are designed to absorb as much

of a crash’s energy as possible to protect the driver. To further

protect occupants, the steering column collapses and the

engine and transmission drop down and away from the driver.

Airbag and seat belts come standard.

Volvo is the only Class 8 manufacturer to put a driver’s side

airbag standard in every truck. What else did you expect

from the inventors of the 3-point safety belt?

Passive Safety Technology.

Active Safety Technology.
