The latest VNL update features our most aerodynamic and fuel-efficient package. In fact, with our XCEED package, VNL offers a fuel efficiency increase of up to 16%* compared to the base package.

Above, a roof air deflector complements the cab fairing, keeping airflow in place and smoothing out costly turbulence between the cab and trailer. Below, we’ve added to our aerodynamic offering with the new FlowBelow Tractor AeroKit™.

2023 Volvo 860 Exterior

The completely redesigned exterior offers improved airflow, along with advanced LED lighting for increased visibility and reduced maintenance.

Inside, the seating has been ergonomically optimized, while the dashboard and steering wheel provides the driver with efficient control and information with minimal distraction.

2023 Volvo 860 Engine

The VNL 860 comes standard with the D13TC engine, which is designed to be highly efficient and powerful for the ideal driving experience.

Depending on the configuration your model comes with, you can have anywhere from 405 horsepower to 455 horsepower at your disposal—and with a maximum available torque of 1,860 lb-ft, this truck is powerful.

Because the D13TC and D13 engines are designed to achieve peak horsepower at lower RPMs, your drive will reduce the load on the engine, allowing it to last longer.

However, you should also choose to equip the available Volvo D11 and Cummins X15 engines with your truck. Choose which one best suits your driving needs.

All of these engines will be paired with a Volvo I-Shift transmission. The 2023 VNL 860 offers a ride unlike any other on the road.

Volvo 860 Drive

The truck itself is designed to be aerodynamic, so it can soar on the road and offer a smoother ride. With Dynamic Steering, the VNL 860 can even help your driving to make things a little more comfortable.

As a 77-inch bed, the Volvo VNL 860 is spacious and includes plenty of space and storage for the driver to use. Built to be a home away from home, it includes many amenities that will enhance any job.

Ergonomic seating, an optimized central driver information display, and a comprehensive infotainment system are just a few of the offerings you’ll enjoy here.

This truck comes with a 7-inch touchscreen and premium audio system to ensure you never get bored while working for long hours.

You can even connect to your smartphone via the available Bluetooth® and Apple CarPlay® integration systems. Or park and use your laptop with built-in Wi-Fi capabilities.

Volvo 860 Tech

The technology included with the Volvo VNL 860 makes it a very safe truck to take on the road.

Take the standard Volvo Active Driver Assist system for example. With Forward Collision Alert which will project a red bar in your line of sight on the windshield to warn of a potential collision, this can help the driver stay focused on the road ahead.

Volvo Active Driver Assist also includes Right Side Blind Spot Detection to help you keep an eye on hard-to-see spaces.
