Public services and utilities

Making life work. We often take public services and utilities for granted –until the lights go out or the roads are blocked. Street sweepers, snow plows, tow trucks, and electricity maintenance vehicles and their drivers need to get the job done –efficiently, safely, and sustainably. Here, you can find the trucks and services that will help you keep the world a better place.

Custom-built for a special job

From sweeping streets or plowing snow to maintaining electricity pylons or inspecting bridges, you’ve got a job to do. You need a truck that is strong enough to handle the load, is efficient and maneuverable to fit your planned schedule and route, and is easily adaptable to the special body equipment needed for the task.

Low emissions, high safety

Serving the public creates high demands. Increasingly, truck operations needs to deliver low or even zero tailpipe emissions, low noise, and high safety. Bio-diesel, HVO, gas-powered, or electric trucks are becoming more sought after – and even strictly required.

Smooth, reliable operation

Public service trucks are on the move day in and day out. Planned downtime for maintenance and repairs becomes critical – while unexpected stops create too many headaches and extra costs. The right services and support keep trucks rolling to maximize uptime and productivity.

Serving society

Tackle the demands of the job and meet the expectations of the public. We have the solutions that help make trucks, drivers, and operations more efficient, safer and more productive.

Specially designed for you

You need a truck that is built for the job. One that fits your body application and will suit your load, your routes, and your operating budget.

We offer a range of reliable trucks to choose from, giving you different load capacities, as well as diesel, gas-powered, and electric drivelines, and with chassis that are flexible to body builders’ needs. Our trucks also feature driver support systems that help keep drivers happy and more productive.

With tailored chassis, advanced services, and innovative features, our solutions help you get the most out of your working day and your budget.

Find the right truck

Our tried and tested trucks are proven across all kinds of operations. The Volvo FL, Volvo FE, Volvo FM, Volvo FH, and Volvo FMX cover a full range of load-carrying and power output needs, with a choice of drivelines, axle configurations, and suspensions to give you the most solid foundation to build on.

Adapt it to your needs

Tailor the truck to get it as you want. Thanks to our flexible tailored chassis, we offer preparations for body building and power take-offs that will precisely match your requirements. We can also provide low-entry and crew cabs that are particularly valuable for many operations.

Support your driver

Volvo Dynamic Steering is designed to give perfect precision and take the strain out of driving. The system also gives automatic assistance and added safety in case of a front tire blowout or if a skid is detected. In addition, with the EXSTER body building preparation, it allows remote driving of the truck at speeds up to 10 kmh.

Keeping high public standards

Over the years, regulations for emissions, noise, and safety have become stricter, especially in urban areas. When you’re working for the public, you simply have to meet those expectations and demands – especially moving into the future.

We offer electric trucks with zero tailpipe emissions and minimal noise. Along with models that run on alternative fuels like biodiesel, HVO, and LNG or bio-LNG. We also provide safety services and onboard technology that can help keep speeds down and make roads safer.

Shift to electric

Your local dealer can support you in making the shift to electric and advise on charging, range, and more. Our electric models lead the way in many industries, giving customers opportunities in low- and zero-emission zones as well as reducing environmental impacts and saving money.

Keep your speed down

The Safety Zones service combines vehicle positioning with speed limit information you define in specific zones on a map. As a result, when a truck approaches the zone speed limit, the truck’s speed is automatically restricted to stay within the limit.

Make the streets even safer

You can never be too safe. Our trucks can provide vital safety features such as extra lights, Camera Monitor System, Collision Warning with Emergency Brake, and Front Short Range Assist – all helping the driver avoid accidents and be more confident and secure behind the wheel.

More uptime, more productivity

Schedules are tight and margins even tighter. So, you need your truck and driver to turn up and perform when called into action – and you can’t afford breakdowns or other costly downtime.

Through our expert workshop, uptime services, and driver support, we can help make your operation run like clockwork and as reliably and productively as possible.
