The toughest truck for the toughest jobs
Built for heavy duty applications
The robust VHD bumper features a heavy-duty, 45-mm tow pin rated for a full 80,000 lbs., while the center tow beam is made of 100-ksi steel. The bumper is constructed from ¼” thick, high-strength alloy aluminum and is supported by welded internal bracing.
Designed to improve visibility
The VHD features LED headlights with distinctive daytime running lights, LED turn, marker, and parking lamps, and a fully-sealed, brighter headlamp component. The design offers a longer life and an optional heating feature for de-icing in cold weather.
T-Ride suspension
The VHD suspension system ensures a smooth ride under demanding conditions, with industry-leading articulation for constant ground pressure and better traction. The standard Volvo T-Ride suspension, with trunnion-mounted springs and rubber towers, excels in off-road traction and articulation.
Body builder
The VHD is built for body builders. Volvo specialists are available for assistance throughout the process from start to finish.
They’ll help with your initial specs, so your body builder can start working immediately. After delivery, our body builder specialists are always on call for consultation with your builder.
Visibility
A one-piece windshield (2,050 square inches) and large side mirrors offer visibility that’s among best-in-class for crowded worksites.
Wheel cut
Volvo maximizes wheel cut in both axle positions of up to 50 degrees, providing a tight turning radius with a front suspension designed for comfort and maximum maneuverability.
