Volvo will showcase a Volvo VNM 200 model powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) and a diesel-powered Volvo VNL 630 model in booth No. 2622 during the show. The VNL 630 model, like all Volvo-powered models, comes standard with Volvo Remote Diagnostics, a telematics-based system that monitors critical fault codes, enabling proactive diagnostics and repair planning to maximize uptime.
With excellent visibility and a tight turning radius, the Volvo VNM 200 is ideal for regional or short-haul applications. Powered by clean-burning CNG fuel, the VNM 200 CNG features up to 20 percent lower greenhouse gas emissions than a comparable diesel-powered model. In addition, it requires no exhaust aftertreatment, eliminating weight and added complexity.
