A 4-year-old operates a full-sized remote controlled Volvo dump truck

Watch a four-year-old girl named Sophie put a full-sized remote-controlled Volvo FMX dump truck through its paces on a closed-off gravel pit course in Serbia. Volvo Trucks notes that the remote control system used by Sophie was specially made for this film. Volvo said it conducted this unique “live test” to show off the cage construction, cast-iron front corners and steel skid plate of its FMX model, along with its new automatic traction control feature that automatically engages the front axle when needed so the truck doesn’t get stuck.
