Volvo Truck Parts – Precision & Comfort.Press Release by Truck Parts UK

– The combined set of these two systems provides a whole new level when it comes to road feel to the driver and driveability – says Kristin Signert, manager. Long-haul segment at Volvo Trucks.

The new piece of equipment especially appreciate the drivers of the long-haul, where the differences in terms of vehicle stability, precision and ease of management are particularly clearly felt because of the – typical for this type of operation – long periods of driving. What’s more, a new option greatly reduces driver effort also when driving at low speed, because the electric motor boosts support.

– Independent front suspension makes the vehicle holds the road well, while the active steering system improves driver comfort and, just as importantly, reduces the risk of occupational diseases – reports Kristin Signert.

With independent suspension front wheels do not interact with each other. The result is improved liquidity and stability. By contrast, rack-and-pinion steering provides a more direct and precise steering. Active Steering system effectively reduces shocks coming from irregularities in the road surface, making them less noticeable on the steering wheel. Thus, the system not only facilitates and enhances the work of the driver but also reduces the exposure of the muscle and joint vibrations. – The driver can feel more relaxed and work in conditions conducive to health, which in the long run brings increased productivity of his work – says Kristin Signert.
