The VHD 430 sleeper.
Your home close to the job site.
As one of the most spacious and comfortable tractors in its class, your VHD 430 gives you an efficient 42” sleeper with 118 cubic feet of living space. That makes it a great place to retreat when the working day ends. Sleep comfortably in the full-size bed where you can enjoy total privacy thanks to the curtains that wrap around the windshield and separate the sleeper from driving area. And you’ll find common-sense storage for your personal gear.
Enjoy a smooth and comfortable ride.
Volvo trucks are famous for their incredible ride. We’ve designed the whole truck to deliver comfort, from the stiffness of the frame to the geometry of the cab suspension – all integrated to stop unwanted forces and vibrations from reaching the cab. The result is a relaxing driver’s environment where you’ll feel refreshed, even after a full day behind the wheel.
Don’t let the outside in.
Few things create as much stress and fatigue as working in a noisy environment. Thankfully, you won’t find this in your Volvo truck. The high-strength steel cab of your VHD 430 is well insulated and features double-sealed doors and thick floor covering – all to keep exterior noise out, and making the interior as quiet as many passenger cars.
The perfect driving position.
Feel free to adjust it.
Ergonomics are crucial if you want to feel refreshed even after a full day. That’s why we haven’t compromised on the driving comfort of our cabs. All seats offer supreme back and lateral support, 7" fore-and-aft slide, front cushion adjustment, power air lumbar, rear cushion adjustment, and fore/aft isolation – and those are just the standard seats. In addition, the steering column and wheel telescope 4.5" and can be tilted a full 32 degrees – helping you find the perfect position for the most comfortable drive.
Important information
deserves a big screen.
A quick glance is enough. The over-sized Driver Information Display tells you everything you need to know, including your fuel efficiency, trip mileage, battery voltage, and fluid levels. You can also set it to show the favorite gauges you like to see. And our unique Performance Bonus Display can give you real-time driving feedback to help you increase fuel economy. The interface is available in English, French and Spanish.
Volvo Power.
With torque curves you’ll love.
Want to know the secret behind the great driveability and superb efficiency of Volvo engines? Just look at the performance curves. Excellent torque even at low RPMs, with a broad range for maximum torque. You’ll also see that peak torque overlaps peak power in the mid RPM range, helping you drive both performance and fuel economy. That means you’ll notice the difference immediately, whether you work behind the wheel or behind the desk. And you have plenty of power options, from 325 to 500 hp.
Eases your mind.
And your left foot.
Sit. Steer. And smile. Volvo’s I-Shift automated manual transmission is more than the driver’s preferred choice. It is also a real pleasure to drive. Intelligent electronics automatically put you in the right gear at the right time, letting you keep both hands on the wheel and both eyes on the road. Still, if you want to get more involved, you can. The buttons on the premium shift selector allow you to step in and shift manually.
