Logistics during missions are vital. Different configurations allow for Volvo trucks to be utilized for long, fast hauls in controlled territory – as well as over hostile terrain in severe conditions.
They deliver the kind of flexibility and capability that are essential when it really counts.
Our trucks are built to meet your high expectations of utilization and availability when carrying out the daily tasks required for any logistic mission.
All truck applications are demanding – but military use of trucks can be particularly so, as well as being significantly different to conventional commercial use. Expectations of flexibility – letting you carry out multiple tasks – is even higher. Fleets contain large numbers of units which have to be serviced and supported in a sometimes hostile and/or difficult environment. And efficient, forward-available support is vital, which in itself calls for reduced complexity.
Volvo Defense provides a solution to meet these specific expectations – a truck that is available in many configurations and versions, but which is built on one core platform. This promotes interchangeability of parts, reduce the size of required class IX supplies, and simplifies the training of staff and technicians. Familiarization and operation is made easy by recognition throughout your fleet. The common platform and shared technology also promote reduced use of resources required to manage the lifecycle of your investment.
The Volvo FMX’s features and functions work like those you’ll find in a modern car, making this truck drivable without extensive training. But it’s also loaded with technical features and innovations that help you meet the demands of the world’s most challenging tasks – and keep safety, productivity and fuel efficiency at the forefront.
