Volvo Trucks releases five new features for rough terrain

Volvo Trucks continues to improve productivity within construction by releasing another five new features, including Volvo Dynamic Steering for dual front axles and increased front axle loads. This further highlights Volvo Trucks’ special attention to the construction segment. 

Volvo Dynamic Steering reduces vibration and filters out bumps penetrating from the 

road surface to the steering wheel. Steering becomes smoother and lighter, making 

things easier for the driver and reducing the risk of work-related injuries to the neck, 

shoulders and back.
