Most comfortable cab

Drivers are the most important part of the trucking industry and their comfort is
directly proportional to the productivity. The new FMX460 cab has been designed
keeping this in mind. With 800 ltr more cabin space, climate control with enhanced
thermal insulation, 2dB quieter cab, and excellent internal and external storage space,
soft closure of doors and better vibration arresting… drivers are sure to guarantee few
extra trips per shift.

More efficient
The cabin aerodynamics are improved to give better fuel economy. Volvo has been improving their Euro 6
technology since 2013. The latest engine management system, better gear shift programming over and
above subtle design improvements in the engine like smoother cylinder liners, oil scraper ring, turbo impeller
with inverse design, new low viscous VDS 5 oil with longer change intervals help save some more liters
of fuel in the long run. There are upgrades in the Exhaust After Treatment System (EATS) as well - New
urea pump with greater precision and higher urea injection capacity, Improved aging resistance of Diesel
Oxidation Catalyst with more Platina and Palladium, Insulated DPF to maintain correct temperature.

Convenience redefined
The new Volvo FMX 460 has the state of the art I-Shift 12 speed
automated manual transmission which chooses the best gear
in the interest of power and fuel economy. The ergonomically
designed new gear control lever fits snugly in palm. Switch
between drive modes like economy, standard, performance and
off-road with a push of a button. With I-Shift your driver has one
less activity to focus on. With the next generation of gearbox,
Gearbox Control Unit is ungraded with new microcontroller with
improved processor capacity, which helps in faster and smoother
actuation improving gear shifting speeds by 30%. This ensures
no torque loss while shifting gears and also improves the fuel
efficiency. I-Shift Automated Manual Transmission

Add to this cruise control and downhill cruise control starting

from 4 kmph to maintain speed and improve the life of brake
liners

Pre-trip check diagnoses all the vital parameters of the truck

and alerts if something needs your attention with pop up
message on the driver information display. If not, just turn the
ignition and keep rolling. You can avoid the physical inspection
of the truck at the beginning of every shift, thus improving the
utilization.

Change Direction enables to select reverse gear at lower

vehicle speed and start reversing without letting foot off the
accelerator pedal and vice versa.
Pre-trip check diagnostics
Auto Hold function which is an extension of electric parking
brake and Hill Start Aid offers more convenience and extra
safety.

Ultra-modern displays & controls
The Driver Information Display on the new cabin is a fully digital 12” unit which is
dynamic to suit the preferences of the driver. Choose between the classic analogue or
digital view using buttons on the steering wheel. All vital statistics of the truck, alerts,
driver timers etc. become part of the display. What’s more – connect your phone to
the truck and drive safe with hands-free comfort.

The new Traction Control unit makes it easier to handle demanding situations on-road
or off-road. The more you turn the knob, the more traction you get. You also get visual
feedback of the traction status in the instrument display.

Active Grip Control is a patented technology which significantly improves driving

stability, acceleration and braking on slippery surfaces. Thanks to the quick response of
the truck, the power generated between the wheels and

the road can be controlled at lightning speed to proactively prevent wheel spin. This
function significantly improves acceleration on slippery surfaces.
