New air disc brakes and SmartWay-compliant aerodynamic chassis fairings have been added by Volvo Trucks for VN models in North America. Volvo air disc brakes will initially be available on all VN model front axles in August 2013, expanding to include all axles in 2014.
Volvo VNM models equipped with new aerodynamic chassis fairings are now SmartWay certifiable. The VNM chassis fairings are also completely removable for ease of maintenance.
