Volvo FE, Product Manual

Page: 11 / 36

TOOLBOXES
The Volvo FE comes equipped with
two separate toolboxes – a smaller
version with 55 litres in volume and a
larger 125-litre model. These are per-
fect for keeping load security straps
or other equipment.
FRAME HEIGHT
There are two variants of frame height
(FRAME266 and FRAME300) with a
frame thickness of 7 mm and 8 mm
respectively.
FRAME INNER LINER
On three-axle vehicles there is, as
standard, an inner liner to reinforce
the area around the rear axles’
installation.
WHEELBASE
There is a choice of wheelbases
on the Volvo FE range, between
3,200 and 6,800 mm depending
on the vehicle model and axle
configuration.
FUEL TANKS
Plastic, steel or aluminium fuel tanks
with varying capacities
of between 160 and 630 litres
can be stipulated, according to truck
specifications and special require-
ments.
FRONT AXLES
Maintenance-free front axles are
available on the chassis of the
Volvo FE, with maximum load capac-
ity of 7.1 to 9.0 tonnes.
AIR SUSPENSION
The Electronic Control System
(ECS) can be used to control
the air suspension levelling, via
switches on the dashboard or a
control box. This results in easy,
fast loading, regardless of the
height of the loading ramp.
ALL-NEW CHASSIS
PACKAGING
The improved chassis packaging
for Euro 6 means that the Volvo
FE remains as flexible as before,
unaffected by the stricter emis-
sion requirements.
SUSPENSION
There is a choice of suspension
on the Volvo FE for both front and
rear axles. These are dependent
on the axle load. Air and leaf sus-
pension are available in a variety of
combinations.
SIDE UNDERRUN
PROTECTION
The reinforced, foldable Side
Under run Protection (SUP)
comes as a factory fitted option.
Designed by Volvo, it combines
secure protection and easy
serviceability.
