Volvo Trucks' newest Live Test, "Look who's driving", sees four-year-old Sophie drive an 18 ton Volvo FMX through a construction area using a remote control. The truck has been given several new functions over the year, and the objective of the test is to show how much it can tolerate and how easily it copes in the most demanding environments. Sophie steers the truck on the construction area in the film, and the truck takes unpredicted ways: Among others, the truck ends up climbing a steep, soft slope, before rolling all the way down in a full 360-degree roll. The following functions were tested in the film: – Automatic Traction Control – automatic all-wheel drive, activated when needed. The result is better traction, less wear and tear and lower fuel consumption. – Sturdy Front Corner – bumpers made of 3 millimetre thick high grade steel as an extension of the chassis. – Skid Plate – protects the truck from loose objects, e.g. when driving on gravel or stony areas. The 3 millimetre thick steel Skid Plate is built to withstand at least 5 tonnes of pressure. – Volvo FMX has a ground clearance of 30 cm, meaning that vital parts such as the suspension and brake discs aren't at risk of damage when running on rough ground. – Body in white – the unique "body in white" cabin design helps protect the driver from injury, including if the truck turns on its side. – Waterproof – Volvo FMX is built to work in the toughest conditions, including water. All sensitive parts are sealed and placed to keep dirt and water out. If you love cars you should subscribe now to official YouCar's channel: http://urlz.fr/lEd Go! It's free! All the Best.
