Mega Manufacturing: Custom-made Volvo Trucks in Belgium | 4K Engineering Documentary
An enormous output and yet, every-truck custom-made: this is Volvo Trucks in Belgium.
Trucks: Kings of the road with enormous power. Their manufacture demands a good eye, absolute precision and above all: perfect logistics. One of the world's largest truck factories is located in Belgium, close to the romantic town of Ghent. It's the ideal location, close to thousands of customers across Western Europe. This is where Volvo produces its bestseller: the all-time all-rounder "FH" - one of the most popular trucks in Europe with the most powerful engines in the industry! Approximately two hundred trucks each day! Each one unique: every truck leaving this factory is different: Mega Manufacturing individually tailored to customer requirements in a feat of logistical perfection. Timed to the minute. Around one thousand five hundred individual parts are installed by the workers in two hundred and ten operations over eight hours from the simple unadorned chassis - to a state of the art truck.
This Mega Manufacturing takes huge amounts of energy. But suprisingly without CO2 emissions. Volvo Trucks in Belgium was the first carbon-neutral car factory in the world. As early as 2009.
Green energy, perfect logistics, a gigantic, fully automated warehouse, modern robots: the factory is still high-tech. But nothing works here without well-trained people. Volvo Trucks calls themself a „people factory“. At the moment they are testing how to support their highly-trained workforces with new high-tech equipment: exoskeletons and virtual reality glasses allow workers and computers to become one! It could become the truck factory of the future!

Volvo FH is such great truck. I'm always glad to see it at highway.
Me too
“Voice” had no idea 🤷♂️ about he talking about :)
So saw the home country American version and really liked it but I’ve been dying to see the European version cause dang that is one sexy truck 🤤
Man, German documentaries are the best. They’re both educative and interesting.
It’s a dutch documentary, in belgium. Not german. This is not germany
Proud to be a Volvo Truck and Construction Equipment Mechanic
I drive trucks here in Western Australia and my transport shipping company has just upgraded to the FH series Volvo trucks and its better than my car!
i bet it also cost more than ur car :)
@@Czecher86 Most definitely!

Awesome video. As a truck driver in the USA most of the trucks I’ve drove are Volvo’s made in the USA but they use the Volvo engine from Sweden. Volvo ships the block from Sweden but the rest of the engine parts are made in the USA. And the I-Shift transmission is awesome with the shifter mounted on the drivers right side of the seat I can steer with my left arm and operate the shifter in auto mode or manual mode which is vary important. Their are times I need to downshift the up shift at the vary right spot in the road so to optimize truck performance. One point in particular is the turn on I-5 north bound in tumwater Washington and Olympia Washington going around the state capital in that a series of turns I need to slow down and then at the right moment downshift as the road doglegs to the left and goes uphill if you don’t you loose momentum and speed but if done right you go up the hill at highway speeds, you can’t do that in any other truck. Also with the I-Shift transmission and traction control in snow and ice the truck is virtually unstoppable I know I’ve done it and I have pictures to prove it. I’m now retired but I maintain my CDL people call me and I ask if the have Volvo’s with I-Shifts transmissions if not I don’t talk with them. Also I love the 4 stage Jake brake on the Volvo motor. Another aspect of the I-Shift transmission is the truck will automatically downshift going at highway speeds down any grade, you can’t do that with any other truck, it will get you killed. The only thing I wish I had was that 750 hp motor in my rigs I would of blown the doors off every Peterbilt on the road it would’ve been great. Peterbilt drivers hate to get passed by Volvo’s it pisses them off big time😀😀😀😀
I know I'm a bit late. However you must confuse cylinder block with cylinder head, the heads are only made in Sweden and only one factory alone. I know this because I work at the engine plant, and specfically the CH13 Liter machining line and we are the only supplier of heads in the entire Volvo Trucks Group Global.
Could you spec that 750bhp engine in the US like you can hear in the UK ????
A huge investment in diesel technology. Presumably the Planning Department is looking towards an electric future.
That is why I drive a FH 750 in Euro Truck Simulator
the best truck ever VOLVO 😍
SCANIA TRUCKS FOREVER! Regards, Malaysian Truckers
The video production crew really went in on the air compressor...
I had one fail when driving on some snowy, twisty roads and it was horrendous - touching the brake produced something like an emergency stop!
Volvo my fevarete combiny..
Nice Volvo 500 this is my truck here in europe, powerful engine
It's really a treat for me to see the truck being manufactured
Assembled you mean. Everything arrived already manufactured.
Mladen Mijatov shut up
@@benjamin-rn5zn .... What's the problem
fart
Proud to drive a Volvo FM9, 2004, 508,000Miles, still rolling on!
Keren banget ini ...
the level of customization that we can ask to volvo is just mindblowing 🤯
Real eye opener. Had thought that the main chassis was a single piece unit. Also the engine & cab are fitted to the chassis with so few nuts & bolts. Amazing!
The cab can tilt for service, so it is only attached at the hinge points and the latches.
Good 👍
I ❤VOLVO FH . from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿👍👍👍
fart
Yes, Volvo trucks are very strong and strong, and I love to engineer
Best truck in the world is Volvo 💛🇸🇪💪
It is Very good
Best truck to drive with!
Love to have a copy of this Video ,Love all things Volvo
Picked up Euro Truck Sim on Steam with a Wheel and now loving the KZhead recommendations. :)
Kudos to Volvo for building a quite beautiful truck .... as well as doing it in a carbon neutral environment. Love seeing all the wind and solar energy. Now lets see their best effort at Electric Trucks!
Carbon neutral? Everyone of those people is producing CO2.
Why build electric trucks. Creates more pollution
Beautiful operator
Good trucks.. they are used alot in South Africa👍
♥️😉♥️😉♥️♥️ we love volvo
VOLVO RULES.....
Very Good Truck !
Absolutely awesome video. I am a truck lover
Then we are doubly honored by your comment. Thank you!
Years ago I went to truck driving school to get my class A TX license and we drove Volvo trucks with 350 HP
As being a former truck driver for over 30 years at 16 minutes when heat when he said the heart and soul of this of this big truck is this transmission that must be one badass transmission go ahead France
Volvo emang keren
I’m very proud to be part of Volvo group documentary’s viewer.
Mechanic: So you crashed the premium truck! 😨 David Piens ( co. product audit): The collision warning system needs a replacement. 😏😏
Best comment. Wonder how it got less likes
In future I drive VOLVO vnl or fh/fmx 😍
Nice volvo
Merci beaucoup ❤🎉
I love the small girl building trucks, awesome 👏 😍
I work in the Volvo factory in Sweden and we have a ALOT of small girls here building trucks, even smaller than seen in the video. haha
Here in the United States we have the VNL line. I got in a pretty brutal crash and I gotta admit you Germans know how to build a very tough truck!!!
The Germans may burden tough trucks, but Volvo is Swedish, this video is about assembly at a Belgian factory, and the VNL is built in the United States.
Excellent Video.
When the truck you're driving is better than your whole entire house.
All truck industry worldwide is playing catch up to the mighty volvo
Not really.. The biggest problem with volvo is everything is locked down. Unlike Detroit and cummins where u can go anywhere and get parts and stuff changed easily..
Scania certainly isn’t playing catch up!
nbssms imagine being an idiot
@@tomas19cronin Yeap. Those two are in cold feud.
Tomas C. I'm with you, Volvo are great Scania are Brilliant, but their both good trucks, I have driven both but I think the Scania has the edge but it's a close call.
Check out the Volvo White Knight, 2500hp. It’s so fast even the helicopter filming it couldn’t keep up, it raced a Volvo WTC car and it almost whooped it. The trucks cornering speed let it down, it’s so fast it is really impressive.
I have worked in that factory for a few shifts. It is a lot less exciting without the music and narrator!
This is a documentary, not mime show.... So your review is not needed here, and one more, not everyone knows everything and not everyone has the "privilege" to works there...
@@nuruddin1991 be quiet you little twerk
That is why it is call 'WORK'.
@@dadillen5902 you're clever, mate
@@Ryan-uh9le Ryan just stop. work is work. I work for Volvo and some people love it and some don't. It is what it is.

Goooooo volvo! Best trucks ever... Besides peterbilt
Very cool
Volvo has one more assembly factory, in Göteborg, Sweden, named Tuve. Trucks are assembeled there aswell. Not only gent.
I thought they shut that factory down? Or am I thinking of Scania??
No, its fully functional. Im not sure about Scania.
MonastiriMakedonia oh wait it was Malmo.. oops
@@chaoszombie9995 Any idea why it was shut down?
Seabasshunting I think it was for cost savings, I’m not sure though
awesome volvo, great video
The one the only Volvo Hf tanks lads Sweden engineers are the best of the best
technology work of ARTS!
Volvo and Mercedes Benz are both fierce competitors of very high quality trucks and cars.
I drive this in Euro Truck simulator 2
I have not unlock it. But I will.
Me 2 buddy 😂😂😭
Amazing 😍
At 4635 he says he loves his job and who would not love that job he takes brand-new trucks out and test them on the road yeah I want that job too and Josie good thing when you go to work and you enjoy it of course we all have our bad days here and there but as a whole I like to go to work because I want to go to work because I enjoy it
Great video.

Muito legal o vídeo ✌
Wow nice truck Volvo
Please make a video on scania trucks
Nice!
It's amazing,ok,good luck
I love europe tractor truck is the best in the world
I know their incredibly stable and efficent, but every time I see them all I can think about is one of those things tipping forward like a lever.
The truck at the 41:00 mark is awesome!
Reminds me of Darth Vader!
Sweet
As someone who worked in the paintshop of the scania factory, I really find this interesting how they make the truck in the volvo factury
I've driven many Volvo trucks in Australia over the years, and a few Scanias. I think the Scania is better.
teenspirit162 American trucks are the best it got larger cabine than european trucks
@@muhammadjalaluddin1964 i agree that they look more beautiful then a european truck, and i think they are safe then european cabins because of their noses. but deu to european laws our euro trucks have a maximum length. So yeah, we don't see many trucks with noses on the european roads. Not even the Scania torpedo series ;)
teenspirit162 Yes i know sir generally i like American trucks they look better in and outside. Thank u for your reply.
@@muhammadjalaluddin1964 Not inside
The air compressor is located on the engine, what your calling the air compressor is the air storage tanks.
Air compressor is engine driven, what was pictured at 7:20 was the dryer.
job well done
The 5-way wrench obviously doesn't tighten all of the nuts for one wheel at a time - there are ten per wheel, so this is a two-step operation.
exacly
