Volvo launched its newest truck â the FMX â at the Bauma 2013 trade fair in Munich and broke new ground in the construction segment.
The new FMX boasts an array of updates including a totally redesigned cab interior, new air suspension system, raised ground-clearance and Volvo Dynamic Steering â a world-first innovation designed to improve maneuverability.
âWe have improved every detail of the truck â large and small â which are vital for ensuring the truckâs robustness and handling,â Claes Nilsson, president of Volvo Trucks, says. âIt is probably the best and toughest construction truck in the world.â
