Bed sizes: 74×200 centimetres, with 81.5 centimetres wide middle section, or 74×200 centimetres, extractable to 88×200 centimetres with 95.5 centimetres wide middle section. The bed in the Globetrotter XXL cab is 213 centimetres long. The width at head, middle section and feet are 99/106.5/91 centimetres respectively. Equip your cab with a foam mattress or a 16 centimetres mattress, with pocket springs and excellent comfort. Three options of firmness are available: Soft, Semi-firm and Firm. We also provide two options of overlay mattress protector: improves comfort and allows you to square things away quicker. Also available: recline with adjustable backrest, and the Upper Comfort bed (dimensions 60×190 centimetres or 70×190 centimetres).
Interior storage
The cab contains a front shelf with four DIN-standard recesses and two large storage compartments with roller-blind doors on the driver and passenger sides. The rear wall is equipped with a light weight upper rear shelf with excellent illumination. Under the bed, you can find two pull-out drawers with a total volume of 130 litres. Additionally, there are two smaller storage compartments under the mattress at the foot (10 litres) and head (15 litres) of the bed, and a storage compartment at the foot of the bed for a PET bottle.
Exterior storage
On both sides of the cab you'll find large storage compartments that can be opened from outside or within. An additional unheated storage space of 30 litres is available under the cab on both sides.
Sky window/roof hatch
Each cab is equipped with a fixed sky window or an optional roof hatch that can be opened to 50 millimetres. This also serves as an emergency exit. Roof hatch adjustment can be done either manually or electrically.
Steering wheel
Comes in two different sizes – 450 mm or 500 mm in diameter, depending on your truck's specification. The steering wheel’s height can be adjusted by up to 90 mm and the angle can be adjusted by 28°. With neck tilt (option) the steering wheel can be adjusted in vertical position between -5° and +15° – increasing the driver comfort. Integrated controls in the steering wheel provide safe and comfortable operation of cruise control, horn, phone and the functions in the Instrument Display and Side Display.
Climate system
Three alternative climate systems allow you to control the temperature. Fan ventilation with conventional coolant heater. Air conditioning with manual control (MCC). Air conditioning with automatic temperature control (ECC/ECC2). Also available with sensors for sun intrusion, fog conditions and air quality. Complement the system with a cab and engine parking heater and I-ParkCool, our cab parking cooler.
I-ParkCool
The engine doesn't need to be running for you to enjoy an air-conditioned cab. I-ParkCool creates controls cab temperature in a stationary vehicle. It interacts with the cab parking heater to generate a comfortable climate: useful, for example, during nights when the temperature drops sharply and suddenly.The system checks the battery health so as not to compromise starting ability. And it calculates how much power is needed to heat or cool the cabin. If the batteries aren’t fully charged, the system works out how much can be used.Furthermore, it's quiet. The system generated roughly 20 dB less noise than competing systems in the market, reducing noise pollution and aiding rest. The system is fully integrated with the vehicle’s normal air ventilation system and hot or cold air is distributed through the ordinary vents as needed, distributed equally. Cab aerodynamics and standing height inside the cab are not affected by the system. With the exception of cab heater (PH-CAB).

Brakes
EBS (Electronically-controlled Brake System) provides superior response, performance and brake feel, while providing access to a number of handy features. EBS is now available both for disc brakes and Z-cam drum brakes (for a selected range of axle configurations and chassis heights). Upgrade your brake system by adding the EBS Medium package or any of the additional options.EBS is standard on all specifications.
EBS medium
In addition to the EBS Standard package, EBS Medium adds the following features:
EBS status control
EBS status monitoring via the TEA2+ vehicle electronic system and Volvo Tech Tool.
Auto hold
Brake the truck to a full stop and Auto hold keeps the last applied braking pressure to hold the truck in position until the driver pushes the accelerator.
Lining wear analysis
Brake lining warning – calculates the remaining mileage available with the current brake linings (only for disc brakes).
Automatic parking brake release
The parking brake is released when the driver pushes the accelerator pedal and a gear is selected (only I-Shift gearbox).
Additional options:
In addition to the program packages there are the following options:
Stretch brake
Enables the driver to request pulse braking of the trailer. The brake is then automatically activated and the risk of jack-knifing is minimised.
ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
The brake stability system applies the brakes individually on each wheel, thereby providing stability for the entire vehicle combination and counteracting jack-knifing, rollover and trailer swing. ESC fulfills the legislation of Electronic Vehicle Stability Control, and is available for 2- and 3-, 4- and 5-axle vehicles.
Emergency brake light
When panic braking from speeds above 50 km/h, the brake lights flash four times per second.
Hydraulic retarder
Gearbox-mounted compact retarder with a max effect of 440 kW.
Active steering system with torque overlay. Delivers more steering force at low speeds, reduces steering kicks and keeps the steering wheel straight forward when braking on split friction. The steering wheel returns automatically to neutral position both when driving forward and when reversing. Volvo Dynamic Steering is now available for all axle configurations, including trucks with dual front axles. It’s also available in combination with individual front suspension.
Pusher axles
Available in fixed and actively steered variants for both tractors and rigids. Axle load: 4.5, 7.5 or 9 tonnes.
Tag axles
Available in several configurations – fixed with single or dual wheels, self steered or actively steered. Axle load: 7.5, 9.5 or 10 tonnes.
Tandem Axle Lift
Allows the rearmost drive axle on the tandem bogie to be disengaged and raised, to reduce fuel consumption and turning radius. By pushing a button on the dashboard, the driver can raise the axle when the truck is unloaded. When the truck is loaded, the axle automatically lowers itself and engages. Tandem Axle Lift is available for 6×4 and 8×4 configurations (with a tandem bogie) equipped with disc brakes.
