Still about the tightest turning radius of a sleeper tractor out there, which makes backing up to a dock a lot easier. :)

My company bought 3 2021 VNL760 with 455 hp/1750 torque 12.8 liter Volvo inline 6. All have 12 speed auto. I love the truck. The cheap seat my company bought is hard as a bench. It has a wonderful ride and is very fast with such a small engine. My truck had 400 miles when I got it. In less than 400 miles the dash light started to flash when I hit large bumps. At 20500 miles. The truck broke at a red light in a construction zone. The dash readout said the abs computer could not communicate with the pcm. The dealer fixed the truck a few days later and it broke again 100 miles away. This time it took them 6 weeks to fix it. I just got the truck back and I've put 400 miles on it without any problems. I will be uploading videos.

I work at the factory in the Cab Plant and love every minute of it. I have a double role as a Logistics Facilitator and as a Plant Ambassador. I get to help keep the parts flowing to build the trucks, then I have opportunities to give tours to show our plant to anyone who requests a tour and is approved. Sad part about this video is that to get the true feel of the plant it would have to be almost 4 hours long to get the true experience. Just watching the robots in the Cab Plant work their magic can be mesmerizing. That alone can take up just one hour of video. But it is a great video and they might need to do another one soon with great things in the works coming down the road soon.

And Volvos.. I drive a 2021 Volvo and deliver engines there all week long

so sweet this video makes me want a Volvo semi im more old school but this makes me want a Volvo

Fascinating Video! I don't drive a truck, but after watching this "break Down" of the Volvo construction process I want to buy one - Top of the Line of course. Volvo has always struck me as being a high quality "working vehicle" manufacturing company. A friend of mine has a Volvo station wagon built back in the mid 70's which with few upgrades and general maintaining is STILL on the road to this day, that old gal has got my friends to many a good time so many times, it's a legend. If they still put that kind of quality even to 50% into their workhorses today (I'm aware of planned obsolescence) then I commend them on a job well done. ~ :)(: ~

I worked as a production engineer at a Volvo north American option. This appears to be filmed at the New River Virginia assembly facility. This documentary needs to be reviewed by an engineer for accuracy because those aren't girders. They are frame rails. The completed frame isn't painted with clear lacquer. Its black enamel with the paint code MS0036.

This video is an advertisement, involving engineers would interfere with the bs.

My state DOT had these Volvo's, they had a rust problem and cracking cross members, the welding/fabrication dept. had to drill an press break many new cross members a expensive repair. When it was time to purchase new trucks the State worded the truck specks to keep Volvo from being able to bid. The local Volvo dealer took the state to court, the dealer lost.

the making of a european truck in america should be the title

That truck actually is as american as it gets. Almost nobody is driving these kinds of trucks in europe, too long and too inefficient

@@TrolloTV How are they inefficient? Actually they are quire efficient. They are safer and more comfortable than the cab over design and they can be used in N. America because N. America has real roads unlike Europe which has old horse and wagon trails trails pretending to be roads.

@@dapsapsrp European style trucks usually dont cover distances as long as american trucks do, so they can sacrifice cab space for more efficient use of space on the road and in parking. And as for the roads: Are you really that ignorant?

I enjoy looking at trucks , I think I will all life long enjoy viewing and seeing them on the road being made in the factory ect...

I hope everyone assembling has good spirits and assemble it right

Volvo is popular because of its safety system and technology. They ensure that drive is safe and driving should be run smoothly.

A digital torque wrench. I'm jealous.

Are you even qualified to use one if you don't hear the click in your head when using a regular wrench?

Kenn seems like a bit of a legend
