Volvo receives order for 125 VNL trucks in Canada
The Volvo VNL 860s will add to Highlight Motor Group’s existing fleet, which is active in long-distance operations across North America. Safety and driver comfort were central to Highlight’s decision to choose Volvo, especially as the industry faces challenges with driver recruitment and retention. The company refreshes vehicles every four to five years, maintaining one of the youngest fleets in the industry, with the majority of its trucks being Volvo models.
“Highlight Motor Group has been a strong long-term partner to Volvo Trucks, and this order is a clear demonstration of their commitment to safety, efficiency, and their drivers,” said Matthew Blackman, Managing Director, Canada, Volvo Trucks North America.
The all-new Volvo VNL for long-haul was engineered for optimal fuel efficiency, delivering up to a 10 percent improvement over the previous model through advanced aerodynamics and powertrain refinements. The truck features hundreds of new enhancements to boost productivity, profitability, safety and sustainability for trucking companies. While also transforming the driver experience with noticeable design improvements that make life on the road easier and better.
The advanced safety features of Volvo VNL 860 include Volvo Active Driver Assist Plus, lane keep support, pedestrian detection, and automated emergency braking.
In 2025, the Volvo VNL was awarded the Red Dot Award for Product Design in the commercial vehicles category.
