Hendrickson International officials said today that Airtek integrated front axle and air suspension will be available on Volvo's new VN series truck models.

Airtek is featured as the standard front axle and suspension system on VNL 630, 670 and 780 models. Fleets and owner-operators can specify Airtek as an option on small sleeper and day cab VNL models, as well as all VNM models.

Airtek is available from Volvo in 12,000-, 12,500-, 13,200- and 14,600-lb. capacities and is standard with unitized wheel ends. The unitized hubs reduce maintenance intervals and contribute to lowering system weight.
