Volvo Trucks North America announced sales have officially started for the all-new Volvo VNL. Volvo says its the VNL was designed to set new standards for the North American trucking industry in fuel efficiency, safety, sustainability, driver productivity, connectivity, and customer uptime, bringing unprecedented customer value to fleets and owner operators.
Since the announcement of the all-new Volvo VNL in January, dealerships have been participating in extensive competency development, with e-learning and in-person instructor-led courses from Volvo Trucks Academy, to be fully trained to support customers even before the trucks begin to arrive at dealerships. Production will start later this summer with customer deliveries beginning later this year. Demo trucks will start arriving at dealerships in the late summer, the company says.

“The Volvo VNL has long been the flagship model series at Volvo Trucks North America and is the premier long-haul truck in the United States and Canada,” says Peter Voorhoeve, president, Volvo Trucks North America. “We wanted to set a new standard for fuel efficiency, safety, driver productivity, connectivity, and customer uptime and to transform everything about the future of the heavy-duty trucking industry. We’re confident we’ve done that. Our customers have expressed that they are eager to deploy them into their fleet, and we are excited to be opening the sales books to get those trucks slotted and ready for production.”
Volvo Trucks also announced it has revolutionized the spec’ing process with the all-new Volvo VNL, introducing packaging to simplify the experience and drive a higher level of customer value. To explore the all-new Volvo VNL features and trim levels in an interactive way, Volvo Trucks has developed a new, state-of-the-art online configurator for the Volvo VNL. The configurator provides detailed information on the features and benefits of each trim level and cab option, as well as a 360-degree view of the truck interior and exterior.
Additionally, Volvo says the all-new Volvo VNL is conveniently packaged into four exterior and interior trim levels — Core, Edge, Edge Black and Ultimate — with six cab configurations, each designed to fit customers’ preference, brand identity, and operational use. Three cab configurations – the VNL860, VNL840, and VNL300 – are available to order immediately, while the remaining configurations will follow soon after.
Finally, Volvo Trucks is holding immersive dealer and customer launch events throughout the summer at the Volvo Trucks Customer Center in Dublin, Va. The Volvo Trucks Customer Center includes a customer experience track, recently expanded to three miles, offering a fully immersive driving experience of the full range of Volvo trucks. Customers can work with their local dealers to walk through the new configurator to design the ideal truck for their fleet then visit the Volvo Trucks Customer Center for an opportunity to experience the all-new Volvo VNL firsthand.
"In the world of trucking, every mile counts. With the all-new Volvo VNL, we're not just delivering a vehicle; we are delivering significant value to our customers,” says Magnus Koeck, vice president, strategy, marketing and brand management, Volvo Trucks North America. “Volvo Trucks’ commitment to innovation means more than just savings on our customers’ bottom line — it's about empowering fleets to go further, do more, and thrive. With more than $20,000 per truck in potential savings, the all-new Volvo VNL isn't just a truck — it's a game-changer for fleets and owner operators."
