Volvo Trucks has completed its transition from production of the legacy VNL 670 model (pictured above left) to full production of the new VNL 760 (above right), which features a new 70-in. sleeper.

“Transitioning from the legacy VNL 670 into full production of the innovative new VNL 760 signifies the latest milestone on our long journey to deliver the safest, most comfortable and most efficient long-haul trucks on the market,” said Göran Nyberg, president of Volvo Trucks North America. “Exceptional design, efficiency and productivity-boosting interior features make the VNL 760 a fitting successor to the VNL 670, which has been a mainstay in our on-highway lineup since its 2002 introduction and our highest production volume model for North American fleets.”

The Volvo VNL 760 comes standard with the 13-liter Volvo D13 engine, Volvo I-Shift 12-speed automated manual transmission, Volvo Active Driver Assist (featuring Bendix Fusion), in addition to many more features that were newly introduced for the VNL line last summer.
