The Volvo Z-Cam brakes are well-known for their reliability and effectiveness. The tractor brake system is fitted with automatic load sensing valves, which ensure that the brake forces are regulated as per the load falling on the axle. This coupled with automatic slack adjusters and floating brake shoes ensures high efficiency with good brake response. The brakes include asbestos free brake linings.
All Volvo trucks are fitted with the Dual line air brake system. This ensure that in case of failure of the primary ciruit the secondary circuit ensure effective and safe braking performance.
