Volvo Trucks’ much-awaited new range has been launched on Indian streets yesterday. The completely redefined product portfolio – which includes the flagship Volvo FH, voted ‘International Truck of the Year 2014′ in Europe – is pushing the limits on what premium trucks can offer, setting a new benchmark for transportation in India.
At the earlier press event held at KTPO, Whitefield, Bangalore, Philippe Divry, President, Volvo India Private Ltd, and Senior Vice President of the Volvo Group mentioned, “Volvo has invested more than US$3 billion and 14 million engineering hours in this project. And just to make perfectly sure of the outcome, we have tested the vehicles for 21 million kilometers. We are the undisputed leader of the premium truck segment in India, and this new range will keep moving the bar further in terms of productivity and efficiency for our customers.”
For the press event – more than 150 VIP customers across India have been invited to Bangalore to experience three new models that together constitute a significant development in the transportation industry.
Including Volvo FH, the Volvo FM and the Volvo FMX, the range is the most technologically advanced in India. It shouts of important improvements in all crucial areas: starting from productivity, fuel efficiency, and safety to maximizing uptime. The range also introduces unique features like the intelligent I-Shift automated gearbox technology optimized for tough and rugged mining operating conditions, as well as Volvo’s unique Dynafleet telematics system which allows following up on fuel consumption over time, and – together with Volvo Trucks Driver Training services – coach drivers into further improving their fuel saving skills.
Dynafleet also allows customers to see actual time as per the location of their vehicles and vehicles’ performance data that are critical to have control on their fleet, allowing the customer merely concentrates on running their core business.
