Volvo Trucks India has showcased the FM 420 4X2 LNG tractor and the FM 4X2 tractor with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) at Bharat Mobility 2025. These groundbreaking solutions underline the company’s dedication to transforming logistics with cutting-edge technology and sustainable practices.
The FM 420 4X2 LNG tractor, equipped with High Pressure Direct Injection (HPDI) technology, is a game-changer in the logistics sector. Designed to address environmental and economic challenges, the vehicle offers superior fuel economy compared to traditional spark-ignited LNG engines and even diesel engines. It also reduces CO₂ emissions by 20 per cent and up to 100 per cent when fueled by Bio LNG. Its spark-free operation ensures safer transportation of hazardous goods, making it an ideal choice for logistics providers. Paired with a 38 CuM tip-trailer equipped with automatic tarpaulin systems, the LNG solution is optimized for industries like construction and mining, tackling challenges such as reducing waiting times and improving operational efficiency in high-frequency operations.
Meanwhile, the FM 4X2 tractor with ADAS sets a new standard for safety and driver assistance. The model features a Camera Monitoring System (CMS) that replaces traditional mirrors, enhancing visibility and aerodynamics. Additional systems such as Forward Collision Warning, Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Departure Warning significantly improve road safety and operational efficiency.
Volvo Trucks also introduced its Fuel Efficiency Services, which integrate advanced telematics via the Volvo Connect platform with innovative Virtual Reality (VR) driver training modules. By analyzing over 400 driver parameters, the platform identifies skill gaps and provides personalized training in real time, enhancing fleet performance and driver well-being.
Speaking about these advancements, Vinod Aggarwal, MD & CEO, VE Commercial Vehicles, said, “Volvo Trucks focus on quality, safety and environment care has made it synonymous with reliability and performance in India. With advanced LNG solutions and emphasis on sustainable practices, Volvo Trucks customers can transition to cleaner, more efficient operations while maintaining superior productivity.
