DYNAMIC STEERING IN VOLVO

OVERVIEW

Optimum directional stability at HIGH SPEEDS. Perfect handling control at low speeds. And your muscles are spared. Volvo Dynamic Steering enables precision and agility that will change your driving style forever.

Unique technology

Our patented technology combines the conventional hydraulic power steering system with a steering gear mounted on the electric motor. On the basis of input signals from various sensors determines the electronic control device the direction of movement of the vehicle and the driver’s intention. According to the principle of so-called “torque superimposition” of the engine at 2,000 times per second is driven to correct unintentional steering movements and provide additional steering force if necessary.

When we say that the Volvo FM can be steered with one finger, we mean absolutely serious.

Backward. Now as simple as forward.

We have done the reverse with a fully loaded truck to a hassle-free affair. Volvo Dynamic Steering ensures absolute precision without any effort, bringing the steering wheel automatically returns to the straight ahead position. And thanks to the improved directional stability You can undo more than a hundred yards without coming off the course.

Cord Straight driving in any situation

Course corrections after braking on uneven ground? That was once. By potholes or pavement markings shocks caused? Practically not felt. Volvo Dynamic Steering compensates even strong crosswind effects. So you can hold the steering wheel very easy, because the vehicle changes only the direction, if you want it.

  • Potholes in irregular surfaces, such as pavement cracks or driving environment, the system will automatically recognize and filter the bumps, so the driver is no longer need a small adjustment on the road constantly.
  • System in high speed precise control, greatly increasing the direction stability, and can eliminate almost all of the small, so the driver can all focus on control the speed and does not need to constantly fine-tune for direction.
  • In turn or lateral airflow driving environment, self learning system can detect automatically adjust accordingly immediately, make the driver having to turn the steering wheel and can enjoy Volvo dynamic steering system bring significantly improve driving safety and comfort.

When driving to new era

Swedish labor Environment agency (the Swedish Work Environment Authority), according to official figures released by the “nearly two 5 truck drivers suffering from back pain, waist and neck, JianBei occupational disease, and Volvo dynamic steering system will be able to greatly reduce the driver operating fatigue degree, in the Work related professions to relieve symptoms.” Gustav Neander pointed out.

Gustav Neander concluded: “Volvo dynamic steering system of heavy vehicle steering performance improve to a whole new technology level, greatly improve the driving comfort and control.”
