2019 Volvo Trucks VNL 300

Designed to work with the driver, delivering outstanding performance and visibility, the VNL 300 is the perfect solution when your route takes you out and back the same day. Even with its compact configuration, you’ll still find a surprising collection of standard features unique to Volvo that make for profitable, safe and reliable operations.

At the heart of the new and improved instrument cluster is a color LCD display. A full five inches wide, it can be configured to provide trip information, performance data, and a wide range of vehicle diagnostics

The new infotainment system is available in every VNL. It features a seven-inch color touch screen and an integrated premium audio system. The infotainment system is Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi capable. Drivers can also choose to install navigation tools and a wide selection of third-party applications.

The first drivetrain in the industry to use rear suspension load to change the driveline based on whether the vehicle is loaded or unloaded. It gives you two transmissions in one: the performance of a direct drive when loaded and a downspeeding overdrive when light.

In some applications, XE packages help you save fuel by widening the sweet spot rpm range of the engine. Traditional drivelines achieve peak fuel efficiency between 1300-1500 rpm. But through Volvo’s use of downspeeding, XE widens the range to 1050-1500 rpm. For every 100 rpm of downspeeding, fuel efficiency is improved by approximately 1.5%. Since the Volvo XE13 package downspeeds the engine by 200 rpm or more, you’ll realize a total fuel efficiency increase of up to 3%.

To meet the comfort, health, and safety needs of your drivers, VNL seating has been refined based on extensive ergonomic research. From smallest to largest, drivers will benefit from optimized seat placement, increased range of adjustment, and more accessible controls. Our optional built-in cooler feature under the passenger seat also provides cold and convenient storage—accessible from the driver's seat—for snacks and drinks.

A new, more symmetrical instrument cluster combines well-organized traditional gauge faces with a highresolution, five-inch color LCD screen. The programmable LCD screen can be configured to display a wide range of vehicle data alerts and system settings.

Adaptive Loading features a basic traction mode, which stabilizes your trailer during loading and unloading, and an enhanced traction mode which automatically provides unmatched traction on steep grades or in hazardous conditions.
