2025 Volvo NEW VNL 860 SN664288

The all New Volvo VNL.  Designed to change everything.

This is no evolution, it’s a revolution.  The distinctly curved windshield and angular profile will be the first things you notice. But that’s just the beginning of the aerodynamic and powertrain breakthroughs found throughout the all-new VNL. Together they create up to a 10% improvement in fuel efficiency versus our previous model.  Beautiful design. Aerodynamic, functional purpose. The all-new Volvo VNL.  The very shape of the all-new Volvo VNL is a revolution.  Fuel efficiency is just the beginning.  Streamlined, even standing still.  The shrink-wrapped hood and optimized wedge-shaped cab create more efficient airflow from the front of the hood to the end of the sleeper.  New cab fairing extensions connect airflow from cab to trailer, improving overall aerodynamic performance.  Our new aerodynamic windshield was designed with a sloped-A pillar and aggressive curvature to help reduce drag and maximize fuel efficiency.  Low ground effects, front wheel closeouts, and a reduced height front fender work together with Flow Below tailored drive wheel panels to further reduce drag and guide airflow.  Greater view support meets reduced drag with our Camera Monitoring System. The system can replace traditional door and hood mirrors with aero-designed cameras linked to intuitively placed video monitors within the cab.  Redesigned grille opening and air intake optimize airflow, efficiently manage cooling, and vent engine heat while minimizing drag. The new bumper has a lower profile that guides more air to balance aerodynamics and cooling.  Upgraded chassis fairings feature a single, intuitive quick-release hatch for more secure fastening, easier removal, and optimal chassis access.  New foldable side fairing extenders pair with improved cable storage for easier exterior access to the back of the cab.  The front wheel closeouts reduce the gap between the fender and the wheel well. These closeouts guide more air away from the wheel opening and reduce turbulence under the hood.  The all-new VNL’s chassis fairings now feature extended ground effects that hug the road and allow fewer disturbances as air passes down the cab.

Step behind the wheel of your new office.  Every improvement was made with one purpose—to make a driver’s job a little easier.  From big suspension advances, repositioned seat controls, and a stalk-mounted shifter, the all-new VNL improves driver productivity across the board.  Intuitively placed shifting and gear selection decrease the need for reaching and reduce distractions during operation. Convenient shifting, engine braking, and more are now at the driver’s fingertips.  Industry-first push-button ignition gets you going in-cab, while our key fob can activate your engine, external lighting, climate control and more.  Optimized steering with three-way movement and customizable wheel position paired with Volvo Dynamic Steering to give drivers the most comfortable, accessible steering experience possible.  New right-hand side driver’s seat controls make for easy seat adjustments – seat slide, height, recline, swivel, and tilt ranges are all improved. Heat, ventilation, and the popular Back Cycler function are all available options in our latest seating lineup.  Digital gauges, including suspension loading, axle interlock, and I-Shift transmission oil levels keep focus forward. Navigation, multi-camera, and backup camera views can also be integrated with the Infotainment Center.  All four key areas of the suspension system on the all-new Volvo VNL have been redesigned: front, engine, cab, and rear. The result is an enhanced ride that eliminates most road inputs and vibrations, delivering our best-ever driving experience.  The tire pressure monitoring system helps the driver track tire pressure on the truck, helping maintain optimal fuel efficiency. Sensors check tire pressure every 10 seconds and update data in the Driver Information Display every minute.

Living well, working well.  Comfortable living for optimal driving.  We’ve redesigned the all-new VNL’s living environment to help drivers sleep better, so they can work better.  The all-new VNL’s streamlined, bunk-accessible control panel provides direct access to lighting, audio, door locks, alarms, battery controls, and the most advanced climate control in the industry— Volvo’s Integrated Parking Cooler.  Whether it’s the reclining bunk, the plentiful USB and 120V plug options, upgraded insulation, or the surprisingly quiet climate control, the all-new VNL’s sleeper area is more comfortable and packed with amenities.  Our reclining mattress, an industry-first, is available in most VNL models. The popular dinette option is still available as well, thanks to the new versatile foldable bunk stowable bed design that secures against the back wall much like a murphy bed. This provides an incredibly large space for working or sitting.  Space is always at a premium on the road. The telescopic ladder in our larger VNL sleepers provides safe, easy upper bunk access and collapses for convenient storage.  The all-new VNL continues our tradition of spacious storage. Secure, expanded storage throughout the cabin that’s smart and easy to find. The upper bunk provides an extra sleeping area or additional storage thanks to the load-protection lip and cargo net.  The combination of an overlapping, magnetic curtain and airplane style window shades give the driver full control over light levels in their sleep environment. Sleeper curtains are also available with an optional thermal barrier for warmer or colder locations.  Volvo’s Parking Cooler is a fully integrated, battery-powered cooling system. Run up to a full overnight without having to auto-start the engine for recharge, so there’s less noise and idling.  From improved cab insulation to lower rpm standard idle settings and a new battery-powered HVAC option, our latest idle management innovations can help reduce emissions, improve engine wear, and save money on fuel costs.  Sleeper models of the all-new VNL feature the largest refrigerators on the market, with an option for oversized 80L refrigerator units for our largest models.

You don’t become the brand known for safety by playing it safe. Brand new to the VNL, the Volvo Active Safety Platform keeps drivers and pedestrians safe with a suite of advanced driver assistance safety systems.  Leading the charge on safety.  Our pioneering focus on safety yields innovation yet again.  The all-new VNL’s Volvo Active Safety Platform with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems is the latest step in our commitment to developing next-generation safety and accident prevention technologies.  Set speed with Adaptive Cruise Control to identify vehicles ahead, calculate their speed, and adjust the powertrain to avoid collisions…even in stop-and-go traffic.  Forward collision avoidance helps drivers keep a safe distance, whether via adaptive cruise mode to avoid constant braking while adapting to the speed of the vehicles ahead or audible and visual warnings if the truck gets too close.  Short and long-range detection is primed to warn drivers about pedestrians, cyclists, and other obstructions smaller than a vehicle.  Configurable visual and audio alerts help course correct lane drift and drowsy driving for safer, more secure travel. Choose the alerts you need, silence the alerts you don’t–such as during construction zone driving, where sudden lane changes need to be made.  Drivers can use dash controls to manage audiovisual and haptic feedback blind spot alerts, keeping an eye on out-of-sight areas on both sides of the truck.  Volvo Dynamic Steering with standard Active Driver Assist provides continuous road dampening and drive support for various road conditions. VDS with Oversteer Guidance helps avoid rollover events with additional lane keep support and optional personal settings.  The VNL’s forward-looking camera recognizes many road signs ahead of time, displaying them right in the instrument panel. Overspeed warnings, based on the last posted speed limit sign, can also be enabled.  The all-new VNL includes E-Call as a standard driver protection feature, sending out an automated 911 call and location information in the event of a rollover or airbag deployment.  During an accident, the vehicle’s protective measures, including its High-Strength Steel cab, impact-absorbing dash, and automatic engine shutdown upon airbag deployment, collaborate to minimize the driver’s risk and potential injuries.  Headlights can switch high beams on and off automatically while cornering lights provide improved visibility when entering and exiting turns or curves at low speeds.  The steering wheel airbag features a Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) and can deploy in seconds. Side Curtain Airbags help reduce risk of severe head and neck injuries.  Optional alarms can warn drivers when increased levels of smoke or carbon monoxide are detected and help reduce the risk of smoke inhalation.  Volvo’s unique design enables the engine and transmission to sit lower in the frame rail. Both drop to the ground in a frontal collision providing an added layer of driver safety.

The all-new VNL’s ground-breaking powertrain solution begins with the D13 engine and the I-Shift automated manual transmission. Volvo torque packages, including our unique I-Torque, bring you a generation of Volvo Power that is more functional and more efficient than ever.  The Volvo D13 Turbo Compound engine now offers fuel savings for a wider variety of applications than ever before. Fleets that run variable load applications, including tanker, bulk haul and flat-bed deliveries, can benefit from Volvo’s next-generation Turbo Compound system.  The Volvo D13 Turbo Compound engine now offers fuel savings for a wider variety of applications than ever before.
