Volvo VHD - tough, smart and for efficient usage
Volvo VHD is Volvo’s yet another tough and smart model. The VHD truck replaced other trucks such as Autocar. The Autocar was considered as the heavy duty vocational truck of class 8. Now Volvo VHD has become the new vocational truck. The chassis of the truck is made lighter. Despite this the chassis is extremely strong. The single heavy duty rail frame reduces the weight. The special rail also reduces corrosion and in turn increases the overall strength of the frame. The cab is similar to the one in Volvo VT and Volvo VN on road trucks. However some of the features of Volvo VHD are unique.
Features of Volvo VHD
The most important feature of Volvo VHD is that, it is made for extreme driving conditions. The truck can be reliably used on construction sites, rugged environment and extreme weather conditions. The power and safety measures come hand in hand in Volvo VHD. The light weight yet strong chassis reduces weight. Hence driving on steep hills becomes easier for the loaded VHD truck. The stronger chassis is just perfect in tough conditions.

The comfort of the driver and fellow passengers is also considered in Volvo VHD. The cab is spacious and comfortable for the driver.
