The new volvo VNL design.

Hmm, ive been waiting to see this ,looking for new truck; what a lack of imagination, disappointing after 15 years running same design, the update is minimal, very few changes in exterior design. Freightliner came with more imagination and futuristic design, from what i see even mechanically is superior more reliable, well i hope they fixed the #### injector cups.

 

What am i talking, actually, it's been over 20 years since are milking about same design.Just look at other brands 20 years ago and now, but Volvos look the same. My first was a Volvo 770, and the transition to 780 ,in 2003, was dome same manner, with minimum investment in design;, poorly designed fairings ( you see them everywhere along the interstates ), same tight overcrowded engine compartment and they changed the headlights to worst, blurry and more expensive.
I found two more videos recently uploaded by Volvo; I don't know , need to buy a truck, I've been addicted to Volvos for 20 years like most European truckers, but i'm going to look around .

 

Talking about mirrors, Volvo only keeps this primitive mirrors two mounting points and wide plastic frame increasing the blind spots with few more degrees from driver position.

Cascadia 2018, looks better than Volvo, just my opinion ;

 

Yep, i parked it, selling it for parts with 1,833,000 miles without in-frame, engine still running great, transmission, differentials, but my frame is twisted , i sprayed it every winter but it's done after 10 years on salted roads, i got some corrosion affecting the huck bolts assembly, the frame got flimsy weak ;
