The shape of the Volvo VT 880 is a strategic combination of strength, power and smart design. The longer hood gives more of a modern muscle look with better aerodynamic properties. The lines are sleek and smooth, with rounded corners, recessed door handles and wedge-shaped headlights to lessen wind resistance.

The welded High-Strength-Steel cab and smooth side panels assures that there are no rivets to catch the wind and waste fuel. Volvo's shorter BBC allows you to specify a shorter wheelbase, so the gap between cab and trailer can be minimized for less air turbulence. The overall result is a lower drag coefficient than other traditional models. Which can mean a lower fuel bill for you.

With the Volvo VT 880 you’ll have the functional equivalent of a bedroom, kitchen, office and den, all in one spacious sleeper. It's more than 374 cubic feet of sleeper space, and more than 520 cubic feet of total living space when including the cab. There’s plenty of room to stand, sit, walk around and stretch out. The Volvo VT 880’s high ceiling eliminates any sense of being closed-in, and there’s a skylight at the front plus two windows on each side wall to keep the cabin feeling open and bright.
With the VT 880, you’ll be able to choose from three beautifully coordinated interior design packages. As is fitting for Volvo’s top-of-the-line truck, the VT 880 offers a top-of-the-line saddle interior, with leather seats and brick-colored accent trim. It’s lighter and brighter, even at night.

A SLEEPER THAT’S SERIOUS ABOUT COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE.

The sleeper area is every bit as practical as it is spacious. The optional workstation does double duty as your dining table and office desk. The bench seats quickly convert to a full-length lower bunk. The upper bunk folds out from the back of the cab, and a foldaway ladder allows easy access. The cabinet system can be configured to suit your storage needs, with solid doors to keep your possessions safe and secure. And you’ll enjoy the convenience of appliance options that include a sink and refrigerator, with space for your microwave and TV/VCR.
There’s both a sleeper curtain and a wrap-around windshield curtain. Each bunk has a well-placed reading lamp, and there are options for task and mood lighting throughout the cab. Control panels are located in the sleeper area as well as on the dash for handy lighting and temperature control. Upper and lower windows open to provide cross ventilation. And the entire sleeper area is carpeted for an extra touch of home-style comfort.

BETTER AIRFLOW UNDER THE HOOD.
The 880 has aerodynamic advantages that make a big difference under the hood. The front bumper is designed with an opening that allows more airflow to the engine compartment making sure it gets all the cooling it needs. The bumper’s rolled-under center section improves the channeling of air under the cab. And new recirculation shields around the radiator assure maximum cooling. With the engine always operating in its optimum temperature zone, fuel efficiency goes up while stress on components is reduced.

The Volvo VT 880 features rugged suspensions that spare you bumps, bounces and noise. Even Volvo’s D16 625 horsepower engine is matched to an innovative Non-Torque-Reactive suspension. This design easily handles the 2,250 lb-ft torque and delivers a more comfortable ride with the added benefit of less component wear. So even with Volvo’s 16-liter engine and a full payload, the 880’s suspension maximizes the handling and performance of the entire vehicle. The 880’s critical construction tolerances and welded High-Strength-Steel cab help keep vibrations to an absolute
minimum. And thanks to superior insulation and soundproofing, you’ll enjoy a quiet ride. The steering wheel is designed to give you the best possible grip, and the energy-absorbing steering column soaks up road vibration. The steering wheel tilts smoothly from 0 to 21degrees and telescopes a full 4.5inches so you can position it wherever it’s best for you.

WHEN YOU’RE IN THE CAB, YOU’RE IN COMPLETE CONTROL.
In the 880’s cab, an advanced climate control system keeps you comfortable regardless of the weather outside. Twenty-two strategically placed air vents – plus cold draft panels and airflow valves – circulate fresh air through the cab. Double sealed doors keep out water, wind and noise. And an independent air filtration system keeps the cab and sleeper area free of dust and pollen. Even the dash is designed to keep you operating at peak performance. Controls are within easy reach, and often used switches can be located right on the steering wheel. The driver display is positioned to let you quickly read key diagnostic information from a single, large screen. A handy cup holder has been integrated into the molded dash panel. And an advanced audio system delivers great sound to keep you company on the road.

WITH THE 880, CHROME ISN’T JUST FOR COMPLIMENTS.
Whether it’s polished steel, polished aluminum or traditional chrome, the gleaming brightwork earns its keep. Front and rear polished aluminum wheels are standard, and they’re crafted for strength and durability. The three-piece chrome bumper is wide and thick. There’s extra brightwork on the headlights and mirrors. And the signature Volvo front grille is larger, with a wider chrome bezel and cross bars. The exposed fuel tanks are polished to a reflective sheen. You can choose 22 or 26 inch diameter tanks to fit your driving needs. The 880’s exhaust package features handsome chrome pipes and custom stainless steel heat shields. Inboard stacks with aerodynamic cab fairings are also available and offer less wind resistance and more fuel economy.

The 880’s windshield is roped in, so there’s no extended wait for glue to dry if replacement is needed. Break-away mirror arms lower the risk of impact damage. Adjustable internal door hinges are positioned out of the weather so they’ll last longer. Rubber isolators allow the hood to flex independent of the cab, resulting in less component stress. A rugged, three-piece chrome bumper allows easy end cap replacement, and a large mesh stone guard gives added protection from road debris. Wheel wells have been designed for improved water handling and splash control. A three-piece splash shield system keeps the entire engine compartment cleaner, for longer component life. And the engine is designed to let you replace the V-belt without having to remove the fan or fan hub.

YOU’LL SPEED THROUGH SERVICE CHECKS IN RECORD TIME.
Daily service checks on your 880 can be performed easily from the ground. The hood release is mounted on the steering column, which keeps it secure yet easy to reach without having to climb up into the cab. The hood opens a full 60 degrees for complete engine access. Fill sites are on the “cool” side of the engine. Inside the cab, the two-piece engine cover can be removed without taking out the seats or floor mats. The 880 is designed to save time on weekly service checks, too. The battery box and air tanks are conveniently located behind swing-out steps on the driver’s side. Batteries are positioned close to the starter for higher cranking voltage and longer component life. The 880 even has built-in, knurled-brass jumper studs with rubber boots, so you’re always ready for a clean, quick start. And headlight bulbs are adjustable and easy to replace without tools.

INNOVATIVE SAFETY FEATURES ARE STANDARD EQUIPMENT.
You’ll enter the 880’s cab via self-cleaning, anti-slip steps. A door panel entry light helps you watch your step at night. The door is extra wide for easy access, with two grab handles conveniently mounted inside the cab and out of the weather for a better grip. To help prevent accidents, Volvo's standard-equipped ABS system provides greater control during emergency braking. And suspended foot pedals keep your feet from getting tangled between the brake, clutch or accelerator. Volvo's panoramic, one-piece windshield is the largest in the industry giving you over 2,000 square inches of viewing area, which means you see more of the road, and more of your truck. Volvo’s powerful projection headlights boost nighttime visibility 20 percent on low beam and give you better right-shoulder visibility without blinding oncoming traffic.

Volvo goes far beyond the required and the expected to engineer each 880 for superior accident survival. A High-Strength Steel cab gives the highest strength-to-weight ratio in the industry. Volvo cabs meet the requirements of the Swedish Impact Test – the toughest cab integrity test in the world. In a severe collision, a remarkable system of defensive measures is available to take over. The three-point seat belt holds fast and the standard driver-side air bag deploys. Upon frontal impact the engine mounts are designed to release, pushing the engine and transmission down under the chassis rather than into the cab. The steering column collapses, and special knee panels absorb impact. Doors have been tested to stay closed during a collision, but can still be opened afterward. And the windshield can be kicked out for emergency exit. Volvo is committed to being the best in over-the-road truck safety.

\So if you’ve always loved the impressive look and power of a traditional long-
haul truck, but have longed for the kind of driver and passenger comfort that
only Volvo delivers, this is the truck for you.
EVERYTHING THIS TRUCK DOES, IT DOES IN A BIG WAY.
The Volvo 880 is a master at multi-tasking. It aggressively protects the comfort
and safety of the driver. It conserves fuel (and your budget) by reducing wind
resistance. It works hard to keep you alert and in control when you’re driving. And
it maintains an environment that’s always elegant, organized and space-efficient.
Best of all, the 77? raised roof sleeper cab gives you more living room than you ever
thought possible in a Class 8 truck. You won’t feel cramped, crowded or
compromised in any way. And the smooth, quiet ride makes the miles go by easily
and effortlessly when you’re out on the road.
Last but far from least, there’s one more thing the 880 is quite good at: turning
heads at truck stops, loading docks and street corners.
