MORE CARE:

MORE THAN AN IDEA

All the value you expect from Volvo now 
comes through in the Volvo D9-powered  
G900 Motor Grader family.

More care. Built in. 

Volvo Construction Equipment makes 
this promise to customers everywhere: 
every Volvo machine will satisfy your 
highest expectations for equipment that’s 
productive, operator-friendly, reliable and 
easy to service. Now, Volvo introduces 
three new motor graders powered by the 
renowned D9 Volvo engine, all designed, 
built and tested to keep that same 
promise in every way.

The Volvo way 

The complete family of seven G900 
Motor Graders, includes four Volvo  
D7- and three Volvo D9-powered 
models. These machines deliver on the 
brand promise of “More care. Built in.” 
through a combination of proven Volvo 
technologies and processes: 
• bottom-line productivity on the job site 
• a safe and comfortable operator  
  environment 
• long lasting reliability 
• unmatched ease of serviceability with  
  low maintenance demands

This Volvo Motor Grader offering includes 
three highly efficient and versatile 
models, all using the field-proven Volvo 
D9 engine. The result is a selection of 
graders with outstanding power, torque 
and fuel efficiency: the 39,000 lb  
(17 700 kg) G970 tandem drive, the 
40,500 lb (18 370 kg) G976 All Wheel 
Drive (AWD) model and, at 46,300 lb  
(21 000 kg), the largest machine in  
the Volvo Motor Grader family: the G990 
tandem drive. 

Quality with confidence 

No family of motor graders anywhere 
has been subject to more rigorous 
testing than Volvo G900 Motor Graders. 
By continuing to listen and respond to 
customer needs and by investing in new 
design innovations, the Volvo continuous 
improvement program will lead the G900 
family to ongoing quality leadership. 

At home in the Volvo fleet  

From end-to-end, from the ground up, 
G900 Motor Graders are fit and finished 
to take their place in your fleet. Design 
details and styling provide a familiar work 
environment inside and out for owners 
and operators of any Volvo machine. 

Care for the environment, one of the 
Volvo core values, is reflected in the 
environmental performance of the G900 
Motor Graders. The G900 family meets 
EU Stage IIIA and US Tier 3 Emission 
Regulations as well as EU noise 
standards. Volvo engineering minimizes 
whole body vibration to maximize 
operator productivity. 

For grader operators and owners 
everywhere, the G900 Motor Graders 
will mean a new standard in grading 
performance and productivity.  
The Volvo standard. 

Behind the scenes 

The development of the G900 
Motor Graders resulted in more than 
a new family of Volvo machines. 
It also created a new process for 
grader design and support, based 
on industry-leading production 
methods and refined by the Volvo 
commitment to best practices. 

From fit and finish to familiar design 
detailing, the G900 family will leave 
no doubt in the minds of equipment 
owners and operators everywhere: 
It’s a Volvo!
