Trucks

Mining and quarry

No job too tough. Always carrying heavy loads and with terrain ranging from rough to extreme, you need trucks that are ready for the job. Here you can find the on-site and on-road vehicles you need, ready to be adapted for a tipper, water cart, flatbed, hook, or crane. Plus the features, services, and support that make your operation more reliable, productive, and safer.

Manoeuvring maximum payloads

Your productivity depends on how much you can maximise payloads. You need high-quality, robust, and manoeuvrable trucks that are built to perform under heavy loads and on tough terrain. Day after day.

Staying productive for longer

Heavy-duty work in a harsh, dusty, muddy or high temperature environment takes engines, systems, and suspensions to their limits and beyond. Trusted workshop and predictive maintenance services can help you maximise uptime and reduce the time and cost of repairs.

Keeping everybody safe

Whether your truck and driver are on site or on the road, they will be working in a challenging environment where safety is key for themselves and those around them. Cabs with good visibility and driver support systems can help them stay focused and safely in control.

Working on site or out on the road

Whether you’re hauling loads out of the ground, suppressing dust or delivering to port or your customers or keeping your operations safe, we can help you find the trucks, services, and support you need.

Right place, right time

On tough, uneven terrain, you’ll need a high load capacity matched by a lot of manoeuvrability, traction, and power. On the road, you want a truck that can make the most out of every delivery and tonnes per kilometre.

Our range of off-road and on-road trucks – including electric models to support your operation and lower emissions – will make sure you get the job done.

With tailored chassis, advanced services, and innovative features, our solutions help you stay productive, profitable, and safe.

Drive safely and comfortably

Volvo Dynamic Steering takes the physical strain off drivers and helps them manoeuvre steadily and precisely. Boosting safety even further, the system also works together with Stability Assist for light assistance when even slight skidding is detected. In addition, the system gives automatic assistance when a front tire puncture is detected.

Driver training

Help drivers get the most from every truck with training designed for mining and quarry conditions. From safe operation to efficient driving techniques, training can support better control, improved safety and lower operating costs.

Gear up for success

I-Shift is a range of automated transmissions that help maximise productivity. Choose low and ultra-low crawler gears, software for extreme startability, and one-pedal driving on tough terrain and shifting between forward and reverse. I-Shift also helps you reduce fuel consumption when driving fully loaded or empty.

Technician training

Many mining customers manage maintenance in their own workshops. That is why technician training matters. We can help build the capability of your team so they are better equipped to service, maintain and repair Volvo trucks in demanding environments.

Monitoring Critical Components

In mining, every minute of uptime matters. That's why Monitoring Advanced is designed to help identify potential issues before they become costly breakdowns. By continuously analysing data from your connected Volvo trucks, we can detect early signs of component wear or failure, giving us the opportunity to act before an unplanned stop occurs.

Monitoring Advanced monitors critical vehicle components 24/7, with alerts sent directly to your Volvo dealer or our National Uptime Centre for immediate assessment. This proactive approach helps turn unexpected downtime into a scheduled maintenance event, helping minimise disruption, maximise productivity and keeping your operation moving.
