The Volvo VNX is built specifically for the needs of heavy-haul trucking operations. Available with up to 605 hp and 2,050 lb-ft of torque, the VNX provides the power and performance demanded for heavy-haul applications such as logging, machinery transport, and long combination vehicles.
OUR VNX 400 FLAT-ROOF 42" sleeper is designed for maximum flexibility on regional heavy-haul runs. The bunk area features a premium, 36-inch Volvo mattress to make occasional overnights on the road more comfortable.
Features may include:
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.
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.
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.
Our premium heavy-duty suspension is rated up to 52,000 lbs. The suspension design increases durability, reliability and handling characteristics.
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.
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.
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.
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.
