Volvo Super Truck 2 truck, Volvo aerodynamic truck
The Volvo SuperTruck 2 truck with excellent transport efficiency and a 134% increase in transport efficiency will be on display at the Volvo Trucks booth (#4097) at the 2023 American Transportation Association Management Conference and Exhibition, held October 14-17 in Austin, TX. A display showing the outstanding design and engineering of the Volvo Trucks team for the next generation of the transportation industry.
The Volvo SuperTruck 2 truck extends the DOE’s research and technology program to improve long-haul transportation efficiency of Class 8 tractor-trailer trucks. The purpose of this technology is to accelerate the development of cost-effective advanced technologies that are not currently available in the market.

Technical specifications of the Volvo Supertruck truck
Equipped with a small cooling pack, the Volvo Supertruck is a fully aerodynamic trailer with adjustable ride height and design.
The truck’s traditional hood and cab-mounted mirrors have been replaced with a simple camera monitoring system that reduces drag by more than 4 percent.
This tractor trailer is designed to deflect air with minimal drag, resulting in 50% less drag than the base 2009 Volvo Trucks, which represents an almost 20% improvement in aerodynamic drag over the Volvo Super Truck 1. .
The Volvo Supertruck 2 truck has a diesel engine that was designed by the United States Department of Energy to improve transportation efficiency, and the series of aerodynamic features of the Volvo Supertruck 2 truck compared to the Volvo Supertruck 1 truck includes a completely new cabin design, including glass. The front pointed completely differently.
The Volvo Super Truck 1 is a modified version with a VNL 670 cab, but the Volvo Super Truck 2 has the potential for significant aerodynamic gains in terms of Body-in-White modification.
In addition to aerodynamic improvements, engineers implemented several strategies to reduce the truck’s significant 27,000-pound curb weight.
The truck comes in a 4×2 configuration, which is not common in the US but is often used in Europe using fewer axles for the same load. This truck is designed so that a 6×2 or 6×4 configuration can be applied.
The Volvo SuperTruck 2 truck’s shorter and lighter cab design is combined with a machined chassis that combines an optimized lightweight single-shaft drive axle system. _ _
Volvo also custom-fits the truck with smaller, 19.5-inch, low-friction tires.
The Volvo Super Truck 2 has a 48-volt micro-hybrid system that acts as a generator with an integrated starter.
This truck is the most aerodynamic and efficient truck that Volvo has built to date, demonstrating the potential of technological innovation to develop the commercial transport industry.
The cabin of the truck is impressively designed with advanced windshield and macro hybrid system
