Volvo Trucks announces Proven Tour

Volvo Trucks has launched its Proven Tour, an interactive customer and dealer road tour showcasing the company’s leadership in fuel efficiency, driver productivity, safety, and vehicle uptime. The Proven Tour will stop at 27 Volvo Trucks dealers throughout the United States and Canada during the next four months.

A Volvo VNL 780 tractor will pull the 53-foot expandable Proven trailer, which was built to serve as a mobile experience and educational facility for dealers and customers. The trailer features interactive stations to allow visitors to learn more about Volvo’s proven technology, including XE (exceptional efficiency) powertrain packages, I-Shift automated manual tranmission, steel cab, Volvo Remote Diagnostics, and the ASIST service communication tool. Dealers and customers can also take part in product presentations and demonstrations in the trailer’s 20-person training room. During the tour, visitors will also experience the premier of Volvo’s iPad-based Fuel Drop game.
