Volvo VNL

The register lists here 5 versions with power around 298 kW, displacement from 12,100 to 15,000 cm³ from six-cylinder engines, unladen weights from 8,140 to 9,230 kg, gross vehicle weights from 21,000 to 24,130 kg, lengths from 8,300 to 8,700 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm.

The VNL is Volvo Trucks' mainstay tractor in North American long-haul transport, competing there with the Freightliner Cascadia, Kenworth T680 and Peterbilt 579; the large high-roof cab versions are fitted out for the driver to live in on long routes.

When buying used, key points are mileage and service history of the engine and transmission, the condition of the axles, suspension and brake system, corrosion on the frame and cab mounts, and for high-roof cabs the function of the air conditioning and parking heater; spare parts are supplied through the Volvo Trucks dealer network, which is well established across the United States and Canada.
