Here’s a peek at the all new Volvo VNR

Volvo Trucks North America (VTNA) gave the public a look at the redesigned regional haul Volvo VNR.

On March 10, VTNA debuted the new VNR at the Technology and Maintenance Council Annual Meeting and Transportation Technology Exhibition in Nashville, Tennessee.

VTNA says that the new VNR features “a 90 percent redesign over the previous generation truck” and is “optimized for shorter-range operations, with a tighter turning radius ideal for navigating urban routes, while having the versatility to carry out long-haul operations when called upon.”

The new VNR also offers 7.5% improved fuel efficiency over the legacy VNR through “enhanced aerodynamics, powertrain innovations, and idle reduction technologies reducing fuel costs and emissions for fleets.”

VTNA described the available configurations of the new VNR:

“Volvo Trucks has a legacy of providing innovative, purpose-built solutions. The all-new VNR is a versatile option that was designed specifically for the demanding nature of regional and urban delivery. Fleets now have the tools to tackle a wide range of operational needs with our most customizable truck,” said Peter Voorhoeve, president, Volvo Trucks North America. “Once again, Volvo Trucks is introducing a truck that was designed to change everything. Together, the street-smart VNR and our flagship VNL can address a wide range of fleet operational needs.”

The new VNR will be built at the Volvo Trucks New River Valley Plant in Virginia and will be available for purchase soon.
