VOLVO Hydraulic Front-wheel-drive


Maximum torque available at the wheel

is determined by a combination of the

pump and motor size (16,000 Nm)

The speed is also limited by that, and is

about 22 km/h with the current system.

A breakthrough for effortless steering without strain or pain

Volvo Dynamic Steering combines conventional hydraulic power steering with an electronically regulated electric motor fitted to the steering gear.

The result is precise steering that gives the truck driver a safer, more comfortable and more enjoyable working environment
