TRUCK SAFETY WHEREVER YOU ARE
Behind the wheel driving or working around the truck. The Volvo FM is built from the ground up for a safer working environment.
Cornering Camera
These trucks are built for visibility – but there’s always the risk of a blindspot. That’s where the new cornering camera comes in. It activates during turns and streams a side view into the display.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Helps you keep a safe distance to the vehicle in front. It also warns you of any threat and activates the emergency brake if you get too close.
Lane Keeping Support
This system tracks road markings with a camera. When it looks like you’re straying over them, it’ll ping you a signal.
Emergency brake light
These lights flash when the brakes are applied sharply. This in turn alerts the vehicles behind you, helping to avoid collisions.
Driver alert support
This system monitors your driving behaviour. If it records anything erratic about it, you’ll receive an alert asking you to consider a break. And if you continue driving and get a second warning, your cruise control is turned off in order to alert you.
Lane changing support
This feature activates a radar while you’re changing lane. This way, you’re kept informed of any obstacles in your blind spots..
ESC
The Electronic Stability Control uses engine power and individual wheel brakes to reduce the risk of skidding and rollover.
I-Shift
I-Shift makes driving safer by timing each gearchange perfectly. There’s no heavy clutch, and no stick to wrestle with. The simplicity of the system reduces driver fatigue and ups focus, helping you to concentrate on the road and the traffic around you.
I-Shift with crawlergears
Having full control over the vehicle when maneuvering in narrow passages or reversing is key to operate safely. The I-Shift with crawler gears allows really low speeds with full torque and control over power delivery.
Volvo Dynamic Steering
Effortless steering and rock solid stability in every situation. Less strain on the shoulders makes driving less fatigue. And if one of the steering tyres is punctured, the driver can still easily keep control over the vehicle.
Safe Drivers
A trained driver works efficiently without compromising on safety. Volvo Trucks driver training programmes give drivers the tools to do just that.
Service Contracts
A well-maintained truck is also a safe truck. With a Volvo Service Contract, the truck gets service and maintenance tailored after how your truck is used.
Testing
Swedish cab strength test. Barrier test. Roll-over test. Sled- test. Head impact test. The Volvo FM has passed them all. And the tests are thorough – with the interior fittings in place and full storage compartments. We know that this is among the safest trucks on the market.
Night Mode
Switch to night mode and all lights on the dashboard, apart from the speedometer, dim to nothing. No distractions: just focus on the road ahead.
Seatbelt
Around half of all fatalities in trucks could be avoided through use of a seatbelt – a fact worth remembering next time you hit the road.
Alcolock
Alcohol doesn’t belong in traffic. The alcolock can e factory fitted and it’s a clear message to drivers and transport customers how seriously you take road safety.
Front Underrun Protection System
Absorbs some of the force in a collision by recoiling it backwards under the truck. Now made from lighter and stronger materials, and effective at even higher speeds.
Lighting
We’ve integrated the front position lights and daytime running lights. As a result, the unit provides intelligent illumination from a compact package. The truck is always visible to other road users.
Mirrors and visibility
An array of smart features is designed to give the driver real 360-degree visibility. But the windows and mirrors also give brilliant coverage.
