Volvo I-See

After Scania and Mercedes-Benz now Volvo introduces an intelligent cruise control with the name I-See. The system learns the route you drive and stores all data. That way the cruise control is able to anticipate on hills the next time you drive the same route. Her’s a nice Youtube introduction movie of Volvo about the…Continue Reading

New Volvo FM spotted

A while ago i got a reaction from Simon T. Burke who wonders where the new FM is. Well, here it is! It seems that Volvo keeps the old cab for the FM but it is higher placed on the chassis. A nice detail is in the fueltank and the fenders on the rear axles.…Continue Reading

New Volvo in Trucker

The German magazine Trucker (www.trucker.de) published this photo of the new Volvo top model. I think they did a great job shopping the photo of a scale model, but it looks good! Earlyer the same magazine printed a shopped photo of a fieldtest truck where they mounted the old grill in. That also looked very…Continue Reading

More Volvo interior

Now this shot was taken minutes ago in Urk, hometown of one of the Iepieleaks Squadron. It shows the interior on the passanger side. It shows big lockers above the windscreen and also it shows that Volvo managed to make a nice big gap between the A-pilar and the mirrors. Now that is good news,…Continue Reading

First interior shot

On www.truckstar.nl I found this shot of the interior of the new Volvo trucks. The flat part on the dash has to be cammouflage but i think the position of the I-Shift is a real suprise. Every other manufactorer moved the gearbox functions to the steering column but in this testtruck it is still in the…Continue Reading

More Volvo, still cammouflaged

And another Volvo truck, still with all the cammouflage on. These were send in by Paul van der Hoek, one of my Iepieleaks spies.                     I wonder when this new generation is going to be presented. I assume the trucks will make their debut on the…Continue Reading
