Centrally mounted, semi-undermounted and undermounted towbars for centre-axle trailers. Towbars can be fitted at intervals of 25 millimetres.

Fuel tanks

Aluminium or steel tanks in volumes up to 690 litres. 

AdBlue tanks
Plastic up to 150 litres.

Brakes

EBS (Electronically-controlled Brake System) provides superior response, performance and brake feel, while providing access to a number of handy features. EBS is now available both for disc brakes and Z-cam drum brakes (for a selected range of axle configurations and chassis heights). Upgrade your brake system by adding the EBS Medium package or any of the additional options.EBS is standard on all specifications.

 

EBS medium

In addition to the EBS Standard package, EBS Medium adds the following features:

 

EBS status control 

EBS status monitoring via the TEA2+ vehicle electronic system and Volvo Tech Tool.

 

Auto hold

Brake the truck to a full stop and Auto hold keeps the last applied braking pressure to hold the truck in position until the driver pushes the accelerator.

 

Lining wear analysis

Brake lining warning – calculates the remaining mileage available with the current brake linings (only for disc brakes).

 

Automatic parking brake release

The parking brake is released when the driver pushes the accelerator pedal and a gear is selected (only I-Shift gearbox).

Additional options:

In addition to the program packages there are the following options:

 

Stretch brake

Enables the driver to request pulse braking of the trailer. The brake is then automatically activated and the risk of jack-knifing is minimised.

 

ESC (Electronic Stability Control)

The brake stability system applies the brakes individually on each wheel, thereby providing stability for the entire vehicle combination and counteracting jack-knifing, rollover and trailer swing. ESC fulfills the legislation of Electronic Vehicle Stability Control, and is available for 2- and 3-, 4- and 5-axle vehicles.

 

 

Volvo Dynamic Steering

Active steering system with torque overlay. Delivers more steering force at low speeds, reduces steering kicks and keeps the steering wheel straight forward when braking on split friction. The steering wheel returns automatically to neutral position both when driving forward and when reversing. Additional active steering features such as personal settings and over steer guidence to make the drive even more enjoyable and safe.

Automatic Traction Control (ATC)

Automatically engages the driven front axle when it’s needed and disengages it when the terrain permits, saving fuel and improving manoeuvrability. ATC comes as standard on all Volvo FMX configurations with a driven front axle.

Pusher axles
Available in fixed and actively steered variants for both tractors and rigids. Axle load: 4.5, 7.5 or 9 tonnes.
 

Tag axles

Available in several configurations – fixed with single or dual wheels, self steered or actively steered. Axle load: 7.5, 9.5 or 10 tonnes.

Tandem Axle Lift

Allows the rearmost drive axle on the tandem bogie to be disengaged and raised, to reduce fuel consumption and turning radius. By pushing a button on the dashboard, the driver can raise the axle when the truck is unloaded. When the truck is loaded, the axle automatically lowers itself and engages.Tandem Axle Lift is available for 6×4 and 8×4 air suspenden configurations (with a tandem bogie) equipped with disc brakes.
