Volvo Trucks will unveil its all-new Volvo VNX on Oct. 14, offering the first look at the next-generation vocational truck built for North America.
With a bold new design and a focus on strength and durability, the company says the new trucks will be unlike anything Volvo Trucks has brought to the North American market before.
The reveal will take place during a live-streamed event on Oct. 14 at 1 pm ET. Purpose-built for the toughest jobsites in construction, infrastructure and heavy-haul, the truck marks the company’s biggest push yet into the vocational segment.
“Volvo has built vocational trucks for some of the most demanding jobsites in the world for decades, and the all-new Volvo VNX sharpens our focus on this segment for the US and Canada,” said Peter Voorhoeve, President of Volvo Trucks North America.
“This truck is nothing like you’ve ever seen before from Volvo Trucks, with a rugged, all-business design built for the toughest jobs out there.”
Ramping up vocational
Volvo isn’t new to vocational work. Volvo Trucks leads the vocational and construction segments in many markets globally, including in Northern Europe and Latin America and its FMX and VMX trucks are already trusted on tough jobsites across Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America. That global expertise is now landing in North America, in a truck designed and built from the ground up for this market.
Volvo Construction Equipment has built and sold construction machines in North America for more than 50 years, providing significant experience within the Volvo Group building equipment for tough jobsites.
“We know our customers expect their trucks to perform day in and day out in challenging conditions. As the only OEM in North America that builds both construction equipment and construction trucks, we bring a unique understanding of how work gets done on the jobsite,” Voorhoeve said.
“Vocational work happens in some of the toughest, most unpredictable environments a driver will ever face, which is exactly why safety is always built into everything we do.”
Volvo will detail the all-new Volvo VNX advanced safety systems, including its active safety technology and passive safety design, at the reveal.
The timing couldn’t be better, with infrastructure spending and a new generation of industrial and energy megaprojects driving a surge in Class 8 vocational demand.
