Volvo Trucks said it has launched its Proven Tour, an interactive customer and dealer road tour showcasing the company’s achievements in fuel efficiency, driver productivity, safety and vehicle uptime. The Proven Tour will stop at 27 Volvo Trucks dealers throughout the U.S. and Canada during the next four months.
A Volvo VNL 780 tractor will pull the 53-ft. expandable Proven trailer, which was built to serve as a mobile experience and educational facility for Volvo dealers and customers. The features interactive stations to allow visitors to learn more about Volvo’s technology, including XE (exceptional efficiency) powertrain packages, I-Shift automated manual transmission, steel cab, Volvo Remote Diagnostics and ASIST service communication tool. Volvo dealers and customers also can take part in product presentations and demonstrations in the trailer’s 20-person training room. During the tour, visitors also will experience the premier of Volvo’s iPad-based Fuel Drop game.
“We’re pleased to bring the Proven Tour on the road to our dealers and customers so that they can experience firsthand the breadth of our technology leadership,” said Magnus Koeck, Volvo Trucks vice president of marketing and brand management. “The educational trailer, Volvo’s largest exhibit trailer in the world, provides an in-depth look at our integrated products and services and an opportunity to learn how they help improve the efficiency of our customers’ operations.”
