The aerodynamic VN 780 will change your impression of how a long-haul truck should look, ride and handle. The raised roof is tall enough for a person 6'10" to stand upright, and the massive 77" sleeper cab offers exceptional space efficiency. There's room for every amenity to make you feel at home. And with its fully insulated cab, the interior is as quiet as many passenger cars--even at high speeds.
But behind the 780's sleek curves and comfortable interior is a truck that means business. Not only will its nimble handling get you from loading dock to loading dock with ease, it'll do so with fewer fuel stops along the way. Which brings us to another impressive feature: saving money.
NOTE TO THE WIND: RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.
We'll admit that the sleek, aerodynamic shape of the VN 780 is easy on the eye. But the real beauty of the design is how it dramatically reduces wind resistance. Everything-from the sloping hood and windshield to the rolled-under bumper, recessed door handles and wedge-shaped headlights-has been sculpted and streamlined for the lowest possible drag coefficient. The welded cab ensures that there are no rivets to catch the wind and slow you down. And thanks to the shorter Volvo wheelbase, the gap between cab and trailer can be minimized for less air turbulence. As a result, the VN 780 requires less engine power to push through the air. Which means fewer stops at the pumps.

A CAB DEDICATED TO KEEPING YOU COMFORTABLE.
In the VN 780's driver's area, an advanced climate control system keeps you comfortable regardless of the weather outside. Twenty-two strategically placed air vents-plus cold draft panels and airflow valves-circulate fresh air through the cab. Double-sealed doors keep out water, wind and noise. And an independent air filtration system keeps the cab and sleeper area free of dust particles and other airborne aggravations.
Even the dash is designed to keep you operating at peak performance. Controls are within easy reach, and often-used switches can be located right on the steering wheel. The driver display is positioned to let you quickly read key diagnostic information from a single large screen.
You'll appreciate the quiet cab when you crank up the stereo, too. The VN 780 features an advanced audio system with speakers designed and positioned for optimum sound quality. You'll hear every note of
your favorite tunes, every word from your favorite talk radio stations.
WITH A SLEEPER THIS BIG, CABIN FEVER IS A THING OF THE PAST.
Bedroom. Office. Kitchen. Dining Room. Den. With the VN 780, you get the functional equivalent of all these rooms combined. The workstation doubles as your dining table and office desk. After supper, the bench seats quickly convert to a full-size lower bunk. The upper bunk folds out from the back of the cab, and a foldaway ladder allows easy access. The stacking cabinets can be custom-configured to suit your storage needs. And you can add a full complement of optional appliances, from microwave, refrigerator and TV/VCR to a built-in sink with running water.
