 It complements
your skills perfectly.

Driving in construction operations requires skill. Great skill when it comes to efficient and fast transporting
of large loads without getting bogged down, and without compromising the truck.
But does it require muscles, too? No, not really. Even if the Volvo FMX is robust, it is developed to make
driving construction applications easier and safer from the sturdy bumper and advanced steering to the new
comfortable rear suspension. Let us show you what a modern construction truck, packed with innovative
solutions and groundbreaking features, looks like.

This is how we improved handling and driving comfort.

Weve taken many steps to increase handling characteristics and
driving comfort. The results are very positive, we must admit.

How it works.

We have fitted an electrical motor on the steering gear.

The motor is controlled 2,000 times per second via
the trucks electronic control units and produces torque

to the steering when needed, obtaining a predetermined

 THE LOWER FRONT

How can a
bumper affect
your uptime?

It doesnt matter how skilled you are. On the narrow, dark stretches in the mine or in the gravel pit its easy to bump
into something and damage the truck. Thus, the headlights must be protected and well anchored. Rough surfaces
and rocks must not damage the oil pan. The bumpers must withstand rough treatment. And if something does
happen, you shouldnt need to bring the truck to the workshop. Just keep on running as if nothing happened.
Because uptime is essential.

Take the curves

Whatever your load.
Need to distribute your load on many axles? But only need traction on a few? Then we have two proposals,

How it works.

It may seem strange. Beneath the surface of I-Shift, the archetype of modern transmissions
hides an old-school unsynchronised manual gearbox. (Hence the compact design and
low internal losses.) But of course theres more to I-Shift than that. The secret lies in the
intelligent electronic control unit. Its responsible for controlling the pneumatic system that
