EPIC DRIVABILITY
VOLVO DYNAMIC STEERING
Perfect stability at high speeds. Total control at low speeds. And drastically reduced strain on your muscles. Volvo Dynamic Steering offers a level of precision and maneuverability that will change the way you drive. Forever.
UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY
Our patented technology combines conventional hydraulic power steering with an electric motor that’s fitted to the steering gear. Processing input from multiple sensor, the ECU (Electrical Control Unit) works out where the truck’s going and the driver’s intention. The motor is controlled 2,000 times every second, and uses a principle called ‘torque overlay’ to correct unintentional steering movements and to provide extra steering torque when needed. Volvo Dynamic Steering is now available for all axle configurations – including those with dual front axles.
HOW VOLVO DYNAMIC STEERING WORKS?
| WEIGHTLESS DRIVING AT ANY SPEED At high speeds, Volvo Dynamic Steering keeps you stable and dead on course. During slow and careful maneuvering, it provides the steering force for you, no matter the load. We’re perfectly serious when we say, you can steer the Volvo FM with one finger. |
EASIER BACKWARDS.
Now as easy as forwards. We’ve taken the strain out of reversing a fully loaded truck. Volvo Dynamic Steering gives you perfect precision, near effortless steering, returns the wheel to neutral automatically. With improved course stability you can reverse more than 100 metres without drifting off course.
ARROW STRAIGHT DRIVING
The course corrections you make after braking on an uneven surface are gone. Kicks from potholes, road ruts and markings are almost undetectable. Volvo Dynamic Steering even balances the effect of strong side winds. So loosen your grip on the steering wheel – the truck will only change direction when you want it to.
