After the news that the Volvo FH is receiving a significant facelift in the shape of the Aero versions, Volvo Trucks have released details about the changes to their range of FM and FMX trucks.

Both variants are being upgraded with new technologies and the latest in camera monitoring for even better efficiency, safety and productivity.

Revised Logos

The heavy-duty range exterior is also getting a mild refresh with a bold Volvo Iron Mark – the biggest ever on a Volvo Truck in modern times. The upgraded Volvo models will go into production during the first half of 2024 and reach dealerships in mid-2024.

A new Camera Monitoring System contributes to both better aerodynamics and improved safety. This new solution, which replaces traditional exterior mirrors, gives the driver a wider visual field, improving safety for both the driver and surrounding road users. The camera system has a positive impact on the driver’s visibility in rainy and dark conditions, as well as in direct sunlight and when driving in tunnels. When pulling a trailer, the camera system also has an auto-panning function that zooms in on the turning trailer.

 Other updates include:

  • Volvo’s I-See technology has been refined to save energy and carbon emissions, using a cloud-based topographic map to optimise the driving and enabling more driving time in cruise control mode that can both save energy and give more relaxed driving.
  • Updated brakes with Volvo patented drag-free brake discs, pads and hubs, improving the braking capacity, reducing energy consumption and emissions.
  • Upgraded user-friendly infotainment system that can be personalised depending on individual needs.
  • Improved sound system, available with six premium high-quality speakers, a new power amplifier and a subwoofer adding massive power to the sound experience.
  • A new built-in navigation system will be offered with improved maps adapted to truck-specific needs, with automatic map updates enabling efficient delivery of goods.
  • Interior updates also include an integrated microwave oven and USB-C power outlets.
  • Volvo Trucks’ My Business Apps offering has been introduced to more markets. This is a subscription-based service that enables customers to download business-related apps from different providers, and use them in the trucks’ side display, bringing real benefits to the uptime and everyday use of the truck.
  • The new Tyre Monitoring Service gives fleet operators a complete view of the truck and trailer, reducing the risk of costs and disturbances related to tyre issues.
