Volvo Trucks - Extreme weight testing of the Volvo FMX

This extreme weight test features an ordinary Volvo FMX fitted with our heaviest gearbox, I-Shift with crawler gears. Two-tonne weights were dropped 26 times from various heights and positions to test the quality of the engine and gearbox mounting. The maximum g-force equals that of 214 tonnes at rest. First, the weights were dropped in the middle of the superstructure and then right above the rear engine mounts.
*This is a so-called misuse test that was carried out by professionals in a controlled, test environment. Volvo Trucks strongly advises against dropping heavy objects on a truck in any other setting.

I like the way they honestly showed the damage when it occurred.

[@huss1205]

Love it that there is no lie or BS or hype, they keep doing it until it is broken, they don't say it won't break, everything breaks under certain conditions, but in this case, it requires scenarios that will not occur in real life. Good job Volvo, awesome trucks...

4 Eddie Halls can deadlift that.

[@paulfisher4660]

As (probably) one of few people here I can proudly say that I've participated in building these trucks. Worked at Volvo trucks in Tuve for 7 months. I built axles,mounted brake lines and the cylinder that opened and closed the cabin.

I'm pretty sure that Volvo is the crazy scientist of the truck world

[@VkRmotorsport]

So, Andersson. What do you do for living? - I drop big wheights on lorrys until break them for scientific reasons. 😑

And that's why Volvo trucks are The best in class. They don't drop ball, they drop 2 juicy tons from high altitude to check their job. Great Job Volvo. My respect for you
