product guide
It complements
your skills
perfectly.
Driving in construction operations requires skill. Great skill when it comes to efficient and fast transporting
of large loads without getting bogged down, without compromising the truck.
But does it require muscles, too? No, not really. Even if the Volvo FMX is robust, it is developed to make
driving easier and safer from the sturdy bumper and advanced steering to the new comfortable rear
2
suspension. Let us show you what a modern construction truck, packed with innovative solutions and
groundbreaking features, looks like.

steering
The road
ahead is
straight.
Even
isnt.
when
it
Its a patented and groundbreaking invention, making driving more relaxed and safe. It helps you straighten out
the various disturbances that may occur on the road or track you are driving on. The risk of repetitive strain
injuries on your body are therefore dramatically reduced. Its all about active steering. We call it Volvo Dynamic
Steering. Just experience it yourself.
How it works.
We have fitted an electrical motor on the steering gear.
The motor is controlled 2,000 times per second via
the trucks electronic control units and produce torque
overlay. The torque is progressive and gives more power
to the steering when needed, obtaining a predetermined
steering feel, independent of load and tyres. This results
in a totally different driving experience reassuringly
predictable.
Its comfortable.
The cab suspension is more stable and the
engine suspension is modified to decrease
noise and vibrations. The driving comfort
was good its now even better.
Its smooth.

How to recognise
a true
construction
truck.
The robust design of Volvo FMX is clearly different from all
other trucks. Here are the details that make it stand out.
Details that make a great difference for the drivers daily
work.
Entry step.
A low, foldable step makes it easier to enter
trucks with a high chassis. All three steps
have an anti-slip design. The extra light in
the door aids safe entry.
Mirrors.
Robust rear-view mirrors with sturdy
mountings, that withstand rough treatment.
Slim mirror arms for good forward and
lateral vision.
Footstep in front.
The whole sturdy lower front can work as
a step. Just climb up on it. For even better
access when cleaning the windscreen,
theres the option of an extra step on the
front bumper.

the lower
front
How can a
bumper
affect your
uptime?
It doesnt matter how skilled you are. On the narrow, dark stretches of the mine or in the gravel pit its easy to
bump into something and damage the truck. Thus, the headlights are well anchored and supplied with the
option of headlamp protectors. Rough surfaces and rocks must not damage the oil pan. The bumpers must
withstand rough treatment. And, if something should happen, you shouldnt need to bring the truck to the
workshop. Just keep on running as if nothing happened. Because uptime is essential.

A
streamlined
belly-line.
One of the most essential qualifications for a construction truck is high ground clearance. Thats why we created
the new rear air suspension for one up to three rear axles. At the same time we created outstanding stability and
driving comfort, whether the truck is laden or unladen. This is a rear suspension that is specifically developed for
the gravel pit.

all-wheel drive
Never
get
stuck.
When its very hilly and the road conditions are really rough, theres the option of all-wheel drive. The best part
about this is that you select all-wheel drive when you need it, but can avoid it when running on a firm surface.
This will save you a lot of fuel. So if you want to be sure of getting out of the dirt, these are the configurations to
choose. The Volvo all-wheel drive is available as 44 and 66, together with the 86 with driven front axle that is
now a standard offer from Volvo.

Sometimes it can be more than a little troublesome out
there. You simply get stuck. Therefore its reassuring to
know that Volvo FMX is equipped with a towing device that
really pulls its weight.

Stretch Brake.
In certain situations, such as turning or
driving downhill on slippery roads, the
trailer risks catching up with the truck,
creating a hazardous jack-knife effect.
The Stretch Brake is a Volvo feature
designed to stop that from happening.
By pulse braking the trailer, the vehicle
combination is stretched and the danger
reduced. The system can be automatically
activated in risky situations, at speeds of
up to 30 mph.

Enhanced performance
Bad roads.
This is a very useful software program for
I-Shift. It adjusts gear changing, assists
starting and aids driving off-road in poor
conditions or hilly terrain.

Whatever
your
load.
Need to distribute your load on many axles? Dont need drive on more than one? Then we have two proposals,
one which gives you unparalleled flexibility when it comes to manoeuvring on narrow roads and one that is very
suitable when you have high front axle load.

i-shift
A kneesaving
invention.
Do you drive a construction truck with manual gearbox? OK, then count how many times you change gear in a
working day. Done? OK, now lets talk about I-Shift with automated gear changing.
More uptime.
Its when driving that you earn money,
thats a well-known fact. So therefore
we have made some changes that will
increase your trucks uptime. We have
increased the oil drain interval for both
the I-Shift and the manual gearboxes,
to 450,000 km. In the case of the I-Shift,
we have also increased clutch life-time
and improved diagnostics.
How it works.
It may seem strange. Beneath the surface of I-Shift, the hallmark of modern transmissions
hides an old-school unsynchronised manual gearbox. (Hence the compact design and
low internal losses.) But of course theres more to I-Shift than that. The secret lies in the
intelligent electronic control unit. Its responsible for controlling the pneumatic system that
handles the clutch and shifts. By constantly receiving information about vehicle speed,
acceleration, weight, road grade, torque demand and more, it can carry out every shift with
extreme precision. It also communicates closely with the engine, which in turn adjusts revs
and engine brake effect for fast and comfortable shifting and engine braking.
