The new Volvo VNL is an aerodynamically optimised truck with a wedge-shaped profile and curved windscreen to reduce drag. An elevation pattern extends from the striking front end with its diagonal radiator grille to the integrated headlights and air intakes. In the interior, dynamic displays and a clever lighting solution offer a high level of operating convenience. Customisable cabin and sleeping area solutions enable a wide range of uses. Meanwhile, optimised aerodynamics and innovative drive systems reduce fuel consumption.
Statement by the Jury
With its striking exterior design, the Volvo VNL is not only eye-catching but also energy-efficient. Inside, it impresses with its driver-oriented design.
