DUBLIN, Virginia—During a media unveiling of the redesigned Volvo VNL, Volvo Trucks North America leaders said the all-new Class 8 truck's efficiency enhancements will provide fleets plenty of ways to save on operatign expenses.

 

“We are confident that this truck will deliver customers a value of $20,000,” Magnus Koeck, VTNA VP of marketing and strategy, told industry media gathered at the Volvo Customer Center here in the Blue Ridge Mountains in southwestern Virginia. 

 

It’s the first complete redesign of the OEM’s flagship Class 8 vehicle since the 1990s. Volvo testing of the new VNL, which Koeck said was created from a “white sheet paper,” has shown fuel efficiency improvements of more than 10%, which could be worth $5,000 to $6,000, based on the current diesel prices.
