What makes а good
truck a great one?
Most people would say it’s all about efficiency. A big word, but what
does it really mean in practice?
Well, to us it means a truck that’s rolling when it's supposed to.
A truck that does so using every drop of fuel to maximum effect. A truck
that makes the job of the bodybuilder easy - and fast - regardless of
superstructure. And, not least, a truck that allows drivers to do their job
better and with less effort.
This is exactly what we designed the new Volvo FM to be. A truck
where you'll tind many innovative features that we believe will change
your day. Welcome to your future transport specialist.

HANDLING
If you recognise
the driving feel,
its probably
from your Car.
If you spend your day behind the wheel, you know the importance of good
handling. Because when it comes to trucks, driving comfort is never just
a matter of comfort. When the truck responds perfectly to your commands,
you do a better job, run a lower risk of strain injuries and are less likely to
end up in an accident.
That's why the new Volvo FM comes with driving characteristics above
the ordinary. Let’s take a closer look.
Steady as a train.
We've completely redesigned the geometry
of the front leaf suspension. The result is
greatly improved steering stability, since
roll forces are efficienctly dampened. You'll
feel in total control. And don't be surprised
if the roads suddenly don’t seem so
scarily narrow anymore, for example when
meeting another truck at high speed.
3
Get rid of those
constant corrections.
A poor front suspension makes a truck
behave like a boat, forcing the driver to
constantly correct the course. The new
Volvo FM is different. The truck simply
follows your control both in a straight line
and around tight bends.
Keeping unwanted forces away.
The rear air suspension has undergone
a complete makeover, now featuring a new
Volvo-patented design with stabilisers
in front of the axle. It efficiently prevents
unwanted road forces from transferring
to the frame. It also stops the trailer from
causing the truck to oversteer when
entering a bend.
Volvo Dynamic Steering.
Better than car-like.
It will completely revolutionise the way
you drive. Perfect stability at high speeds.
Total control at low speeds. And drastically
reduced strain on your muscles. You really
must book a test drive and experience it
for yourself. But if you want to learn more
first, see page 16.

l-See doesn't rely on maps. Since reality
tends to be more accurate, it memorises
I-See. It's a unique system that learns the
topography of the road and stores it in
a central database. When you're driving, it
automatically uses its knowledge to save
fuel - up to 5% during a driving cycle
(when I-Cruise is engaged the whole time).

the actual slopes instead. So now you
don't even have to have travelled the route
before to save fuel. The new version of
I-See stores all hills in a database free for
all other Volvo trucks to use. As long as
someone has travelled the route before,
I-See can download the data and start
saving fuel immediately.
ON THE UPHILLS:
KEEPING FROM DOWNSHIFTING.
When climbing, I-See uses its stored
knowledge to avoid unnecessary downshifts
towards the top. You approach the crest
smoothly without wasting fuel in a lower gear.
ON THE CRESTS:
STAYING CALM.
When approaching the brow, I-See keeps
the truck from accelerating unnecessarily.
BEFORE THE DOWNHILL:
ROLLING ON.
Just before the downhill slope, the driveline
temporarily disengages, allowing the truck to
I-Roll. This uses the vehicle momentum thus
saving energy.
ON THE DOWNHILLS:
BRAKING IN TIME.
I-See knows when the gradient ends. Thus,
when gaining speed downhill, it can apply
the engine brake gently in time - to prepare
for the upcoming topography.

READY FOR THE NEXT HILL
When a downhill is followed by an immediate
uphill, I-See really comes into its own. It lets
the truck roll, gaining speed and momentum
to climb uphill with less effort.
I-CRUISE
One part of I-See is called l-Cruise. It's the
intelligent cruise control that adjusts the speed
for minimum fuel consumption. You can order it
separately and save up to 2% fuel.

VOLVO DIESEL ENGINES
This is where
fuel efficiency
starts.
The Volvo torque curve.
You'll feel it in the pedal.
Excellent torque at low revs. An extremely wide max
torque range. Peak torque meets peak power. Volvo's
leadership in diesel-engine technology is clearly visible
once you start comparing engine curves. You'll experience
fast acceleration, excellent pulling power, comfortable
low-speed handling and, not least, a fuel-efficient and
pleasurable ride at cruising speed.
When it comes to Euro-6,
no news is good news.
Lowering NO, emissions by 77% and reducing particulates
by half is a tough challenge. Especially if you don’t want
to compromise on engine performance. But we have
succeeded. Our range of Euro-6 engines still offer the
same driveability and reliability as our widely appreciated
Euro-5 engines did. And the fuel economy is on a par.
Learn more about the technology on page 47.
Fuel-efficiency built-in.
The optimised combustion chamber geometry. The fast
and precise EMS-controlled injection. The high gas-till
ratio. We could go on listing what makes Volvo engines
hard to beat at fuel economy. Your bottom line will reap
the benefits. So will the environment.
Volvo Engine Brake.
Minimise wear on the brake pedal.
If you want to maintain a high average speed without
compromising safety or fuel economy, you need a good
engine brake. That's why the Volvo Engine Brake (УЕВ),
available on the D11, is so widely appreciated. Plus, on
the D13, you have access to our patented VEB*, absorbing
up to a massive 375 kW (510 hp), thanks to the unique
camshaft design with four rocker arms.

BODYBUILDING INTERFACE
There 15 no such
thing as a complicated
superstructure.
Whatever you want to put behind your cab, the Volvo FM is
prepared for it. We've gone to great lengths to make things
easy Tor the bodybuilder, because this not only saves time,
but also improves quality by avoiding unnecessary and costly
reconstruction work.
Here’s some of the features that bodybuilders like most
about Volvo.

the truck and help define the specification
before any order is placed, which will
dramatically shorten lead time and improve
the overall quality of the complete truck.
Staying out of the
bodybuilder’s way.
We never allow our engineers to place
anything above the top of the frame. This
area belongs entirely to the bodybuilder -
adding a lot of flexibility.
Tailored exactly to your needs.
The more possible combinations, the
easier a truck is to tailor. That's why
the new Volvo FM has more options
than ever before when it comes to axle
configurations, chassis heights and
wheel bases. See pages 41-43.
Two different frame heights.
Choose between a 266 mm and
a 300 mm frame depending on the
demands of the superstructure and
overall height of the complete vehicle.
Attachment brackets.
Volvo FM can be factory prepared with
body attachment brackets, mounted on
the frame. Now available, not only іп
the wheelbase area, but also in the rear
overhang.
Also available as an accessory.
A dedicated row of holes.
The frame comes with an upper row of
holes that is designated for the super-
structure. Since we don't use any rivets
here, the bodybuilder can easily attach
the equipment.
4 different rear end cuts.
We can now deliver your FM trom the
factory with four different rear frame
end cuts: upper (for tippers, hook-lifts
and refuse trucks), lower (for centre-axle
trailers), tapered (for tractors) or straight
(for rigids).
Body Builder Module.
Makes it easy for the bodybuilder to
tap into the truck’s electrical system to
tailor functions. You can access them
conveniently on the flexible dashboard
switches and in the Work Remote.
Prepared for a crane.
A low chassis and high axle loads. That's
what’s on every crane builders wish-list.
Volvo FM comes with both. What's more,
we can create a free frame space behind
the cab, and even deliver your truck with
factory-mounted crane plates.
Choose your exact rear overhang.
The rear frame can now be factory
cut exactly as you need it - in 50 mm
increments - to perfectly match your
super-structure. Regardless of whether
you need an extremely short rear overhang
or a longer one.
Rear underrun position.
To widen the rear end options even further,
the rear underrun protection can be placed
in several different positions.
Perfect for swap bodies.
Not all truck bodies are permanent.
The 295 mm stroke of the new rear
air Suspension - in combination with
the extra low chassis - is the perfect
solution for maximum operational
efficiency.
O
More reinforcements
than ever before.
Some heavy applications put a lot of
pressure on the frame. But don't worry.
The new Volvo FM has more choices of
inner-liners than ever, providing all the
reinforcement you may need.

VOLVO DYNAMIC STEERING
Responding to your
slightest command.
And nothing else.
What has been called the biggest thing since power steering, is now available in a series-production truck.
Volvo Dynamic Steering is based on a patented concept and will completely change the way you drive. Try it,
and you'll never want to go back to a regular truck.
б How it works.
Volvo Dynamic Steering consists of an electrical motor,
connected to the steering gear. By receiving input from
several sensors, the ECU (Electrical Control Unit) can
determine where the truck is going as well as what the
driver’s intentions are.
The motor is controlled 2,000 times every second,
using a principle called ‘torque overlay’, to correct
unintentional steering movements and to provide extra
torque when needed. Altogether creating a perfect and
consistent steering feel - regardless of load and tyres.
At high speeds:
Let nothing set you off course.
Driving straight isn’t as easy as one
would think. In fact, you often have to
compensate for kicks from road ruts,
pot holes and road markings. Perhaps
you have to correct your course after
braking on а mixed-friction surface. Yes,
sometimes even side winds can disturb
your ride.
Volvo Dynamic Steering changes this
completely. Just loosen your grip on the
wheel, concentrate on the traffic and be
sure the truck won't change direction until
you want it to.
At low speeds:
Steer with one finger and
save your back.
This is where Volvo Dynamic Steering
really will change your day. And your future.
You no longer need to strain your muscles
to manoeuvre the truck at low speeds.
Volvo Dynamic Steering provides you with
all the steering force you need. You can
literally steer the truck with one finger. This
not only gives you complete control of the
vehicle, but also practically eliminates the
strain on your neck and shoulders.
EFFORTLESS k
Volvo Dynamic Steering L
increases the steering u
force by up to 85%. %

When reversing:
Perfect control without strain.
Reversing with a fully-laden truck is
one of the most challenging and trying
aspects of the job. Especially where you
need to focus every bit of your attention
on the surroundings. Not so with Volvo
Dynamic Steering. You now reverse with
perfect precision - almost without effort.
And as soon as you let go of the wheel, it
automatically self centres, reducing the
strain even further.
Furthermore, if you need to reverse
over long distances, here's something new.
The course stability is so great that you
now can reverse a truck and trailer more
than a hundred metres without drifting
off course!

It may seem strange. Beneath the surface of I-Shift, the hallmark of modern transmissions,
hides an old-school unsynchronised manual gearbox. (Hence the compact design and low
internal losses.) But of course there's much more to I-Shift than that. The secret lies in the
intelligent electronic control unit. It's responsible for controlling the pneumatic system that
handles the clutch and gear changes. By constantly receiving information about vehicle
speed, acceleration, weight, road incline, torque demand and more, it can carry out every
gear change with extreme precision. It also communicates closely with the engine, which
in turn adjusts revs and engine brake effect for fast and comfortable changes.

LOW SLEEPER CAB
Spacious where it matters.
Above the root.
1.39 metres at your disposal.
If you transport cars, you know how to
appreciate a low truck. Because whether
there’s room for one more or not is often
a matter of centimetres. That’s why you'll
be pleased to know that the low sleeper
cab on the new Volvo FM is lower than
ever - only 2.61 metres (given the right
specification). This leaves as much as
139 centimetres for your precious cargo,
if you need to stay within the European
4-metre limit.
A clean cab roof.
If you want to take advantage of the
low cab height, you don’t want anything
sticking up from the roof. Fortunately, the
aerials on the Volvo FM can all be moved
out of the way. The WLAN aerials can be
moved to the front shelf, the phone aerials
to the dashboard and the toll collect, FM,
CB radio and Dynafleet aerials can be
fitted to the side of the cab.
Driving comfort.
A matter of height.
Great handling has always been a key
feature of the Volvo FM. Now it’s better
than ever, and it doesn’t get any better
than with the X-Low chassis. Plus, the
new air suspension system ECS4 lets
you choose from three customisable
driving heights, improving ride comfort
even further. Learn more about ECS4
on page 32.
Easy entry and exit.
One of the most appreciated features of
the Volvo FM cabs is the entry step. And it
doesn't get any lower than with the X-Low
chassis - only 26 cm above the ground
(depending on tyre dimension). Add to that
a door that opens a full 90 degrees and
conveniently positioned grab handles, and
you have a cab you comfortably enter and
exit many times a day without strain.

LOAD HANDLING
Keep a closer
watch on the load.
From afar.
The electronically-controlled suspension (ECS) improves driving comfort and helps making sure the cargo travels
sately. ECS4 is the latest version and has brought even more possibilities, with the Work Remote as the most
prominent example. You now have perfect control, regardless of whether you're sitting behind the wheel or walking
around the truck.

CHASSIS LAYOUT
Whatever you need space for,
here's plenty.
THE AIR PRODUCTION
MODULATOR (APM)
On tractors, the air compressor
control unit has now been moved
to the area between the chassis
rails, providing more room for
chassis-mounted equipment
or fuel tanks.
THE BATTERY BOX
We've moved the battery box 300 mm
to make room for some 100-120 extra
litres of fuel. But that's not all. It can
also be installed at the rear on air-
suspended tractors. This corresponds
to an additional 300 litres of fuel space
now available on the side of the vehicle.
34
THE AIR TANKS
Depending on your truck’s
specification, the air tanks сап
be installed in a multitude of
different positions. This allows
for even greater flexibility.
THE ADBLUE TANK
On tractors, a new 50 litre AdBlue
tank can be installed behind the cab
(on top of the frame), freeing up space
on the side of the chassis.
THE FUEL TANKS
If you're like most people, refuelling is
something you want to do as cheaply
and as seldom as possible. That's why
the Volvo FM can be equipped with a vast
range of fuel tanks in different shapes,
positions, heights, volumes and materials.
Sizes range from 150 to 900 litres and
can be combined in numerous ways to
maximise your fuel capacity.

THE FUEL DEAL
Every drop counts.
So how about 11 9/0?
Cutting fuel costs and emissions should be easy. That's why we've packaged
our most efficient fuel-saving options into two packages. One of them
adds features to the truck itself and the other is a collection of several
useful services. If you sign up for both, you can count on reducing your
fuel consumption by up to a full 11%. You can of course also get the two
separately, or just pick the features you like.

DRIVER SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Keeping an extra eye

-=
Stretch Brake.
In certain situations, such as turning or
driving downhill on a slippery road, the
trailer risks catching up with the truck,
creating a hazardous jack-knife situation.
The Stretch Brake is a new Volvo feature,
designed to stop this from happening.
By pulse braking the trailer, the vehicle
combination is stretched and the danger
reduced. The system can be automatically
activated in risky situations, at speeds up
to 30 mph.
N E m
Emergency brake light.
If you slam on the brakes, the brake lights
flash rapidly to alert the vehicles behind
you. An easy way of avoiding rear-end
collisions.
Also available as an accessory.
Lane Changing Support.
The blind-spot area on the passenger
side can easily hide other road users.
Lane Changing Support is equipped with
a radar that checks this area when you
activate the indicator. If the area's not
clear, you are notified by a sound and
a flashing icon by the mirror.
Adaptive Cruise Control with
Forward Collision Warning.
Follow the traffic rhythm without effort.
The radar-based Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) keeps a safe distance
from the vehicle in front by controlling
the accelerator and all available brakes.
If there's a risk of collision, warning lights
are projected onto the windscreen.
Electronic Stability Program.
Volvo's Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
efficiently reduces the risk of skidding or
rollovers. In risky situations it instantly steps
in, reducing engine power and braking the
truck and trailer. Each wheel of the truck
is braked individually. ESP is now available
for most truck specifications, both tractors
and rigids.

BRAKES
Volvo EBS (Electronically controlled Brake System) disc brakes are available with EBS Medium program packages for tractors and rigids. ESP is
available for tractors and rigids with 4x2, 6x2 and 6x4 drive. In this way Volvo can offer ESP on virtually all ADR applications and EMS combinations.
The brake range also includes Volvo Z-cam drum brakes with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System).
El
In addition to the EBS Standard package,
EBS Medium adds the following features.
EBS STATUS CONTROL
EBS status monitoring via the TEA2+ vehicle
electronic system and Volvo Tech Tool.
HILL START AID
The brakes are only released once there is
sufficient engine torque to drive the vehicle
forward.
LINING WEAR ANALYSIS
Brake lining warning - calculates the
remaining mileage available with the
current brake linings.
Also available as an accessory.
AUTOMATIC PARKING BRAKE RELEASE
The parking brake is released when the driver
pushes the accelerator pedal and a gear is
selected (only I-Shift gearbox).
PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATOR ON TRAILER
When the ignition is on the parking brake is
automatically activated even on the trailer.
In addition to the program packages there are
the following options:
|] STRETCH BRAKE
Enables the driver to request pulse braking
of the trailer. The brake is then automatically
activated and the risk of jack-knifing is
minimised. Only for rigids.
_] ESP (ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM)
The brake stability system applies the brakes
individually on each wheel, thereby providing
stability for the entire vehicle combination and
counteracting jack-knifing, rollover and trailer
swing. ESP fulfils the legislation of Electronic
Vehicle Stability Control.
| | EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT
When panic braking from speeds above
50 km/h, the brake lights flash with four
flashes per second.

OUR SOLUTION FOR EURO 6
7th
injector
ENGINE
Mixing
zone AdBlue zone
A closed loop butterfly exhaust brake, a
waste-gate turbo, a so-called uncooled EGR
and more. The new engine components serve
two main purposes: to improve gas-flow and
make sure the exhaust reaches the after-
treatment system at optimum temperature.
7TH INJECTOR
A special diesel injector is used for heat
management of the DOC and ensures
the efficiency of the DPF and good SCR
functionality.
DOC DPF
Mixing
DIESEL OXIDATION CATALYST (DOC)
The DOC produces the NO, necessary for the
DPF to efficiently combust the particulates.
In cold conditions, it also provides the heat
needed for regeneration.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
The filter collects particulate matter (PM)
and stores it until it’s burned off during
regeneration. Тһе regeneration is done
automatically and the driver doesn't need to
take any action.
DRIVELINE 2
8B o
SCR ASC
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION (SCR)
In the mixing zone, the exhausts are sprayed
with AdBlue. When they reach the catalyst,
the oxides of nitrogen (NO,) are efficiently
transformed into harmless nitrogen gas
and water.
AMMONIA SLIP CATALYST (ASC)
The last step before the tailpipe where the
remaining ammonia (NH3), if any, is removed.

BASIC SHIFT STRATEGY
Automatic selection of the right starting ratio
(1st - 6th gear). The choice of starting gear is
influenced by gross weight and road gradient.
PERFORMANCE SHIFT
Gives faster and gentler changes through
intelligent utilisation of the engine brake, the
vehicle’s clutch and a special transmission
brake.
BASIC GEAR SELECTION ADJUSTMENT
Makes it possible to adjust gear selection via
the gear lever’s buttons during engine braking
in automatic mode.
GEARBOX OIL TEMPERATURE MONITOR
Shows the gearbox oil's temperature in the
information display.
ENHANCED SHIFT STRATEGY
By interacting with EBS and ECS, starting
and close-quarter manoeuvring are made
easier. Maximises the VEB/VEB* braking
effect by automatically selecting the right
gear so that the engine operates at high revs.
When changing gear during engine braking,
the wheel brakes are activated to compensate
for loss of braking torque.
MANUAL GEARBOXES
LAUNCH CONTROL
Optimises gear selection and EBS functions
for manoeuvring at low speeds. Among other
things, ensures that the Hill Start Aid function
is only activated on uphill gradients.
I-ROLL
Automatic engagement and disengagement
of a freewheel function for the purpose of
reducing fuel consumption. I-Roll is used
when neither engine power nor engine
braking is needed, for instance on flat roads.
SMART CRUISE CONTROL
Interacts with the vehicle's Brake Cruise and
ensures that the auxiliary brakes are not acti-
vated unnecessarily. The free-wheel function
can thus be utilised to an even greater extent.
I-SEE
A smart I-Shift software that can store topo-
graphy data and use this information to save
fuel and improve driving comfort. The data is
saved in a database available for other I-See
users. When ordering 1-Ѕее, the cruise control
I-Cruise is also included. І-Сгиізе can also be
ordered separately.
HEAVY DUTY GCW CONTROL
Optimises gear selection for high gross
combination weights, 85-180 tonnes.

L| ENHANCED PTO FUNCTIONS
Several functions that make power take-off
use easier.
L| ENHANCED GEAR SELECTION
ADJUSTMENT INCLUDING KICK-DOWN
Makes it possible to adjust gear selection via
the gear lever's buttons during start and when
driving in automatic mode. The kick-down
function selects the right gear for maximum
acceleration.
L| ENHANCED PERFORMANCE - BAD ROADS
Several functions that adjust gearchanging
and assist starting and driving in poor road
conditions and hilly terrain.
14-speed splitter and range manual gearbox. Cable operation - with separate cables for longitudinal and lateral movements - results in short
and distinct gear settings. Patented synchromesh with servo function means low gearchanging forces. The gearboxes can be fitted with a compact
retarder, power take-off and oil cooler.
