 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, and 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 construction applications easier and safer from the sturdy bumper and advanced steering to the new
comfortable rear suspension. Let us show you what a modern construction truck, packed with innovative
solutions and groundbreaking features, looks like.

This is how we improved handling and driving comfort.

Weve taken many steps to increase handling characteristics and
driving comfort. The results are very positive, we must admit.

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 produces 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 Its comfortable. Its smooth. It follows you like a faithful dog.

How to recognise
a true construction
truck.
The robust design of the Volvo FMX is clearly different from
all other trucks. Here are some details that make it stand out.
Details that make a great difference for the drivers daily work.

Entry step. Ladder. Mirrors.

A low and foldable step makes it easier to
enter trucks with a high chassis. All three
steps have an anti-skid design. The extra
light in the door aids safe entry when it
gets dark.
The ladder and the rail make it easy to climb Robust rear-view mirrors with sturdy

have an anti-skid design. Slim mirror arms for good forward vision.

High air intake. The Volvo iron mark. Footstep in front.

High air intake contributes to a good back-
wards view when reversing. Its got high air
throughput and is well protected from dust.
Moved up, closer to the driver. Big and
mighty, just like the truck. Be proud of
driving a Volvo.
The whole sturdy lower front can work as
a ladder. Just climb up on it. For even bet-
ter access when cleaning the windscreen,
theres the option of an extra ladder to put
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 in the mine or in the gravel pit its easy to bump
into something and damage the truck. Thus, the headlights must be protected and well anchored. Rough surfaces
and rocks must not damage the oil pan. The bumpers must withstand rough treatment. And if something does
happen, you shouldnt need to bring the truck to the workshop. Just keep on running as if nothing happened.
Because uptime is essential.

The sturdy bumper. The protective front The skid plate.

Its made of steel, its in three parts and
the attachments are visible and easy to
undo. This makes it easy to change the
part that is damaged.
So if you run into a pile of rubble, its no
big deal. Perhaps you wont even notice
any damage on the bumper. This is because
the steel bumper is also covered by a thick
polypropylene coat, that will return to its
original form if damaged.
underrun protection.
The complete lower front is made as a
box construction. Every part of it interacts,
making the construction very sturdy, but at
the same time resilient in a collision with
a car.
We at Volvo have mistreated this truck
in our tests, more than you ever will do.
And we are now convinced that this is the
sturdiest front in the industry.
This protecting guard plate under the
engine is really worth its name. It is 3 mm
thick and it doesnt only protect the engine
sump but the hoses and cooler too. Every-
thing that is perishable when driving off
road is protected, even when you reverse.
The skid plate has another advantage
too; if you drive in a very dusty environment
the plate reduces dust vortices under the
truck.

now a standard offer from Volvo.
The new driven front axle is dimensioned
for very high torque and heavy loads. It
has the same position as the non-driven
axle, 100 mm further forward compared
with the old one. This means that you can
benefit from a really practical and useful
approach angle when climbing steep
gradients (28 with driven front axle and
tyre dimension 13R22.5).
The parallel and link rods are all placed in
line with the axle, inside the axle-casing
envelope. Brake chambers and fuel tanks
are positioned well protected on the chas-
sis. There are no protruding parts that
could impede your progress over logs and
stones. The belly line is completely stream-
lined. As we say, high ground clearance is
the thing.

 TOWING DEVICE

32
tonnes.
Sometimes it can be more than a little troublesome out there.
You simply get stuck. Therefore its reassuring to know that the
Volvo FMX is equipped with a towing device that really pulls
its weight.

Take a firm and easy grip.
With one simple grip, you can release the
handle to connect a wire or a pull bar to
the towing device in the middle of the front.
The device has passed tests with lateral
pull/push forces up to an astonishing 32
tonnes at a maximum angle of 15 degrees.
This is why you can trust
the towing device.
It is part of a cross member which is made
of high-strength steel. The whole assembly
is stably mounted in the longitudinal frame
members. It provides not only a very strong
structure, but its also a great solution
to counteract the eigenfrequency of the
chassis, thus enhancing driving comfort.

 DRIVER SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Even a first-rate driver can
need some extra support
on the road.
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 situa-
tions, at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
Lane Changing Support.
The blind-spot area on the passenger side
can easily hide other road users. Lane
Changing Support is equipped with a radar
that checks this area when you activate
the turn signal. If the areas not clear, you
are notified by a sound and a flashing icon
by the mirror.
20 Also available as an accessory.
Emergency brake light.
If you slam on the brakes, the brake lights
flash rapidly to alert the vehicles behind
you. An effective way of avoiding rear-end
collisions, which can lead to major pile-ups
and cause fatal injuries.
Electronic Stability Program.
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
applies the brakes individually on each
wheel. This provides stability for the entire
vehicle combination, thus counteracting
jack-knifing, roll over and trailer swing. ESP
is available for both tractors and rigids.
Adaptive Cruise Control with
Forward Collision Warning.
Follow the traffic rhythm without effort.
The radar-based Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) keeps a safe distance to the vehicle
in front by controlling the accelerator and
all the available brakes. If theres a risk of
collision, warning lights are projected on
the windscreen.
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 and hilly terrain.

 STEERABLE MULTI-AXLES

Take the curves

in your stride.
Whatever your load.
Need to distribute your load on many axles? But only need traction on a few? 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.

TIGHT TURNING CIRCLES

They are not only useful in tight
spaces. This quality also saves time
and increases productivity.

edented small turning circle. crane or a concrete pump for example.
This tridem bogie has several other advantages too: Raising the
tag axle contributes to less wear on tyres and less fuel consumption.
Optimised rear-axle pressure on every axle means better traction
thanks to the air suspension. If needed, the driver can adjust axle-
load distribution for better traction.

day. Done? OK, now lets talk about I-Shift with automated gear shifting.
and concentrate on the other two. I-Shift
uses its built-in intelligence to quickly and
automatically choose the right gear at all
times. And the software provides shifting
skills that are impossible for even the best
of drivers to match. Still, if you want to get
more involved, you can. The buttons on the
shift selector allow you to step in and shift
gear manually.
I-Shift is designed to save fuel. First of all,
the internal losses are low actually lower
than on manual gearboxes. But its the
electronics that really make the difference.
When driving in Economy mode, every gear
change is timed precisely, to let the engine
work at its most efficient rpm range. And
then theres I-Roll*. Its a unique feature
used when driving downhill, automatically
disengaging the engine to make use of
the trucks momentum instead of fuel. The
result? Up to 2% lower fuel consumption.
* Available for Euro 4 and 5.
thats a well-known truth. 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 guided diagnostics.

How would you like your I-Shift?

The software makes it possible to tailor I-Shift to your

driving conditions. Choose from four add-on packages:
Long Haul & Fuel Economy (with or without I-See) for
efficient highway driving, Distribution & Construction
with smart functions for close-quarter manoeuvring
and Heavy Duty Transport optimising I-Shift for heavy
gross combination weights. For a complete overview,
see page 42.

How it works.

It may seem strange. Beneath the surface of I-Shift, the archetype 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 FIND ALL GEAR-
extreme precision. It also communicates closely with the engine, which in turn adjusts revs BOXES, I-SHIFT
AND MANUAL,
and engine-brake effect for fast and comfortable shifting.
