Trucks

Tank and bulk

Precision and safety are non-negotiable. Tank and bulk drivers are respected for handling some of the most demanding loads on the road. But drivers need trucks, engineered for stability, built for high payloads, and compliant with strict weight regulations. Explore our range of trucks, services and features designed for tank and bulk transport.

Ready for the weigh-in

Maximizing payload possibilities is no easy task, especially when faced with hefty fines for overloading. You’ll need trucks that can be engineered to be lighter, so you can load more to earn more.

Making it safe for everyone

Accidents involving a truck transporting hazardous loads can be catastrophic. Trucks need to be highly responsive with built-in advanced safety features, and digital safety services that can help drivers stay compliant with safety regulations.   

Knowing how to save fuel or energy

Not optimizing the way your truck is powered can have a direct effect on your bottom line. You’ll need truck features designed to impact drivability to reduce fuel consumption, and digital services to show you where savings can be made.

Every kilo of cargo counts

Getting the right unladen weight so your trucks can handle high loads for long distances is key, not to mention having services you can rely on to meet safety standards.

Many of our trucks are engineered to be lighter, potentially turning every extra kilo into long-term profit. And with our truck inspection tools, you can make sure that your truck is safe, complaint, and ready for the road.

With tailored chassis, advanced services and innovative features, our solutions give you the confidence to deliver every time — and go further.

More payload possibilities

Many of our trucks can be modified to reduce weight so you can maximize payload. With a Volvo FH specified with lightweight components, you’ll get a lighter truck that’s ready to carry more.

Checked and ready to roll

With the Daily Inspection service, drivers can check that their vehicle meets strict safety standards before transporting dangerous goods. The service also automatically generates records for regulatory inspections.

Know when it’s not safe

If you’re hauling a high payload of hazardous goods and something isn’t working properly on your truck, the Vehicle Status service will alert you by providing instrument cluster data such as lights and brake failure.

Never compromising on safety

It’s no surprise that safety is top of mind for drivers in the tank and bulk business. Long hours, tight schedules, and unpredictable conditions, combined with constant awareness of temperature, pressure and product behavior, make the job anything but simple.

Our trucks are engineered for maximum stability, visibility and braking performance to help drivers stay in control when it matters most. With advanced braking assistance systems that can react faster than a human, both the driver and the load get an extra level of protection.

Take the strain out of steering

Volvo Dynamic Steering takes the physical strain off drivers and helps them maneuver steadily and precisely, and when a tire puncture is detected, the system kicks in to provide automatic assistance.

Helping you stay compliant

The Volvo Driver Times service helps to simplify compliance with EU driving time and rest regulations. It clearly displays remaining driving time, alerts drivers before violations, and ensures full legal compliance.

Driver support systems

If there’s a certain risk of a collision ahead, Collision Warning with Emergency Brake is there to alert you and apply the brakes if needed. Side Collision Avoidance Support and Door Opening Warning cover both your sides, so you know when it’s safe to hop out.

Fuel or energy saving innovations

Transporting heavy loads over long distances drains fuel or energy fast. Knowing where savings can be made and having trucks that can adapt to deliver optimal output is essential.

From lifting axles to intelligent fuel data insights and smart electric configurations, our technology is engineered to maximize every journey.
