Volvo F-Series Articulated Haulers Bring More Horsepower, Higher Torque Volvo Construction Equipment introduced the first articulated hauler to the industry. Today the newest generation of Volvo articulated haulers offer more horsepower and higher torque while increasing fuel efficiency. The Volvo F-Series line includes four models, ranging in capacity from the 26.5-ton (24 t) A25F to the 43-ton (39 t) A40F.
The new Volvo A25F and Volvo A30F articulated haulers are outfitted with a fully hydraulic dry disc brake system. This can help control speed while hauling downhill and turning into curves or crossroads, reducing the need for service brake use and minimizing wear. They also include new front hydraulic suspension to help enhance operator efficiency and comfort. The new 1-2-3 brake on the Volvo A35F and Volvo A40F haulers allows for progressive retardation and requires less operator input, according to the manufacturer.
Volvo F-Series Designed for Power and Fuel Efficiency Volvo F-Series articulated haulers are equipped with Improved Operator Experience Volvo D11 (A25F, A30F), D13 (A35F), and D16 (A40F) Volvo F-Series articulated haulers are built with a roomy Tier 4i engines featuring Volvo Advanced Combustion operating environment that meets or exceeds TOPS, ROPS Technology (V-ACT). V-ACT is environmentally friendly and OPG1 (object protective guard) standards of protection. technology that provides the engine with high torque at low An adjustable, air suspension seat has ergonomic armrests revolutions to improve fuel efficiency, reduce noise levels for operator comfort. and increase engine life according to the manufacturer.

The new A40F generates a 6.1 power-to-weight ratio. The Tier 4i engine is stocked with a variable geometry turbocharger and high pressure fuel injection to improve air handling, enhance performance and promote high fuel efficiency, as well as improve quick engine response and high torque at low engine speeds. A cooled exhaust gas recirculation system lowers the temperature of combustion, reducing the NOx emissions. The Volvo F-Series line includes four models, ranging in capacity from the 26.5-ton Particulate matter (PM) (24 t) A25F to the 43-ton (39 t) A40F. emissions are reduced to regulation standards with the diesel particulate filter (DPF). allowed more time to concentrate on the job at hand.
