Volvo drivetrain From the engine to the axles, the ideally-matched, all- Volvo drivetrain has been purpose built for articulated haulers ensuring perfect harmony and optimized performance. The Volvo design delivers high rimpull, low fuel consumption and superior reliability in heavy-duty applications. 4

Since Volvo Construction Equipment invented the world’s first articulated hauler in 1966, machine owners and operators have got to know the legendary reputation of these market leading machines. With innovative features to help you tackle tough jobs, the A35G and A40G provide the power, strength and reliability you need to maximize your productivity. Volvo engine Featuring advanced technology and built on decades of experience, the powerful, new Volvo engine meets the Stage IV/Tier 4f emission regulations and delivers the ultimate combination of high performance and low fuel consumption. Wet brakes on all axles Oil-cooled, wet, multiple disc brakes on all three axles deliver industry- leading braking performance, low operating costs and ultimate durability – even on the muddiest and dustiest sites. The powerful and easy-to- operate retardation system controls downhill hauling speed using the wheel brakes and the Volvo Engine Brake (VEB). Automatic Traction Control (ATC) and differential locks Volvo’s unique design boasts 100% lockable, no-slip, no-wear differential locks in 6x4 and 6x6 drive combinations. ATC automatically activates the differential locks and selects the correct combination based on the ground conditions – ensuring optimal traction and mobility with reduced fuel consumption and tire wear. By locking all differentials, all wheels rotate at the same speed for maximum traction in tough terrain. The undisputed leader. 5

The legacy continues. Strength and durability are hallmarks of the A35G and A40G. With heavy-duty front and rear frames designed for severe off-road operation and long service life, these machines have the quality, reliability and durability that you expect from Volvo. Hauling is easier, more efficient and more effective. Hydro-mechanical steering Unique, self-compensating, hydro-mechanical system provides precise steering, excellent maneuverability and a short turning radius. Volvo’s superior system delivers powerful and accurate steering, ensuring outstanding machine control and highly productive, safe operation. Maintenance free rotating hitch For high uptime and low operating costs, the 100% maintenance free, sealed hitch, features permanently greased tapered roller bearings. It allows independent movement of the tractor and trailer without frame twist, while providing oscillation for good ground contact in rough conditions. Durable frames Heavy-duty, rigid front and rear frames have been designed for severe off-road operations and long life-span. The robust Volvo design is utilizing robotic welding for ultimate quality and durability. 6

Articulation and oscillation joint The connection between the tractor and the trailer unit has high ground clearance, industry-leading hydro- mechanical steering and a maintenance free rotating hitch design.
