Volvo Trucks launched its 27-stop Proven Tour—an interactive customer and dealer road tour showcasing fuel efficiency, driver productivity, safety and vehicle uptime—at Pare Centre du Camion Volvo in Quebec, Canada.

Over the next four months, a Volvo VNL 780 tractor will pull the 53-foot expandable Proven trailer, which was built to serve as a mobile experience and educational facility for Volvo dealers and customers. The state-of-the-art trailer features interactive stations to allow visitors to learn more about Volvo’s proven technology, including XE – exceptional efficiency – powertrain packages, I-Shift automated manual tranmission, steel cab, Volvo Remote Diagnostics and ASIST service communication tool.

Volvo dealers and customers can also take part in product presentations and demonstrations in the trailer’s 20-person training room. During the tour, visitors will also experience the premier of Volvo’s iPad-based Fuel Drop game.

“We’re pleased to bring the Proven Tour on the road to our dealers and customers so that they can experience firsthand the breadth of our technology leadership,” said Magnus Koeck, Volvo Trucks vice president, marketing and brand management. “The educational trailer –Volvo’s largest exhibit trailer in the world – provides an in-depth look at our integrated products and services and an opportunity to learn how they help improve the efficiency of our customers’ operations.”
