SUPERTRUCK ii


Launch
10/2023

The Volvo team developed SuperTruck 2 as a cutting-edge, sustainable class 8 truck, focusing on advanced aerodynamics, lighter construction, and optimized payload. The project involved a complete redesign, including a new cab with a curved windshield, mid-roof tractor, and minimized cab width to reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency. The chassis ride height is adjustable for better aerodynamics and maneuverability. Volvo replaced traditional mirrors with a Camera Monitoring System to further reduce air resistance. Custom tires and an optimized powertrain contribute to lower energy use and cleaner propulsion. Real-world testing confirmed significant improvements in freight efficiency, making SuperTruck 2 a major step forward in sustainable trucking technology.
