Volvo introduces FMX heavy transport
The most obvious change to the new Volvo FMX is its robust, modern exterior. With a new upper grille, aggressive lower front, three-part steel bumper with 3 mm thick steel corners, and rugged skid plate, this is a tough truck designed for demanding operating conditions. For additional functionality, the Volvo FMX also features a powerful tow hook, optional headlamp mesh protection, new anti-slip steps and a convenient ladder.
The new Volvo FMX is based on the very successful FM platform, which is well proven in demanding applications around the world - particularly in Australia and the Pacific. Drivers can look forward to exceptional driveline performance based on the power and efficiency of the 11-litre engine (330 to 450 hp) or the 13-litre engine (460 and 500 hp). The recently updated construction version of the I-Shift gearbox makes it possible to "rock free" from almost any situation.
Massive braking power, 375 kW at 2300 rpm, is provided by Volvo Engine Brake Plus on the D13 engine.
