Emergency Services face a unique set of occupational hazards. The nature of the tasks involving high-stress, high-risk and low control elements are both physically and psychologically demanding. Using state of the art technology in a human-centric approach, Volvo Trucks are proud that our Volvo FL, Volvo FM and Volvo FMX crew cabs can play a role towards improving the safety and well-being of emergency services personnel now and into the future. We understand the customers of today and tomorrow.
With over 40 years in the Australian market, Volvo Trucks knows what it takes to build a truck that will thrive in Australian conditions. The Volvo 8, 11 & 13 litre engines are optimised to provide the perfect mix of power, torque and reliability that the emergency services industry demands. Fully automatic transmissions, and factory high-torque PTO combinations ensure long duration incidents are handled with ease. The inclusion of industry leading driver support systems ensure you arrive safely on scene in all weather conditions.
Volvo Trucks is at the forefront of transforming emergency services transportation towards a more sustainable future. In partnership with emergency agencies across Australia, we are committed to helping achieve net-zero emissions in line with the nation’s climate commitments.
To support this transition, Volvo Trucks offers a comprehensive range of low emissions engine technology and zero- tail pipe emission vehicles specifically tailored for emergency service operations. Our solutions include not only electric trucks but also low emission internal combustion engines that already today can run on HVO. In addition, dedicated maintenance and support services, ensure operational readiness and reliability Australia and New Zealand wide.
Our customised electric vehicle solutions including the Volvo FL Electric, Volvo FM Electric, and Volvo FMX Electric, are engineered to meet the unique demands of emergency services, such as rapid response times, high durability, and operational dependability. These vehicles enable emergency agencies to lead the way in sustainability without compromising performance or safety.
Volvo understands that fire trucks are complex when it comes to superstructure integration, auxiliary systems and controls, which is why we have developed a compact and simplified chassis.
For the FM and FMX, all mounted chassis components in the wheelbase area have been repositioned to facilitate a clear rear cab wall. New electrical architecture with pre-defined connection points and pre-run cable preparation supports the bodybuilder to deliver less invasive system integration. Reliability, quality and safety remain uncompromised.
