kscarbel2 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Volvo Trucks Press Release / May 15, 2018 This extreme weight test features an ordinary Volvo FMX vocational chassis 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 super structure 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. .
