Volvo Malaysia launches upgraded FH, FM and FMX heavy-duty trucks

Volvo Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Volvo Trucks) has launched an updated range of heavy-duty trucks to support businesses in their efforts to enhance fuel efficiency and achieve lower carbon emissions.

The range, which includes the Volvo FH, FM, and FMX, features aerodynamic design upgrades, enhanced driveline systems, improved driver environment, and intelligent safety systems.

Key features include a more aerodynamic Globetrotter cabin which contributes up to 9% enhanced fuel efficiency.

The company has also made the Forward Collision Warning system with an automatic emergency braking system a standard feature in the newly updated range of heavy-duty trucks.

Furthermore, the new range is now designed for the trailer parking brake to be engaged when the parking brake is activated.

Also included is Cruise Control with I-See, which integrates smarter cruise control technology which optimises speed and gear change according to topography, thus contributing to fuel efficiency.

The safety system encompasses features such as Volvo Dynamic Steering (VDS), a Camera Monitoring System (CMS) with night-vision infrared capability, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Support, Lane Change Support, Driver Alert Support, and Trailer Connect Indicator, available from Volvo Trucks’ Safety+ package.

To help heavy-duty truck drivers stay focused and less fatigued on long-haul journeys, Volvo Trucks has also upgraded the cabin with ergonomic controls, a secondary information display, an improved audio system, and USB-C charging ports.

“Safety, Quality and Sustainability or environmental care, are our core values at Volvo Trucks. Volvo Trucks remains passionate about delivering solutions that elevate safety for both drivers and operators across the transport industry,” said Volvo Trucks Southeast Asia and Japan Managing Director, Anna Engblom.
