Paint reference & availability

Volvo’s April 2025 North American paint selector names the all-new VNR family and documents these popular exterior choices. The palette combines its VNR launch colours with the brochure’s general options. It is not an exhaustive custom-colour catalogue or proof of every individual Canadian order. Premium choices are labelled; confirm current pricing and availability with a Canadian Volvo dealer.

Existing colour approximations from Volvo’s digital builder are retained; additional hex values come from the factory brochure’s digital swatches. Neither is a measured physical chip. Different lighting, displays, illustration shading and metallic or pearl effects change the appearance. Paint codes identify factory colours; hex values do not specify a paint formula.

Changes the illustration only. Confirm the truck’s paint code and a physical colour chip before ordering paint.

Documented cab options

  • Day cab

Documented transmissions

  • I-Shift 12-speed
  • I-Shift 13-speed

The product page’s 113 in BBC is a compact cab reference. Sleeper and rear chassis add length; these values do not describe VNR Electric or the preceding diesel generation.

04 / MODELS, YEARS & CHANGES

One badge.
Different reference points.

Publication dates and launch milestones do not establish continuous model-year ranges. Match the VIN, production date and equipment era.

Inspection and build evidence

Frequent stops, PTO or urban duty can change brake, clutch, aftertreatment and idle-hour evidence.

  • VNR designation
  • engine family
  • I-Shift model
  • wheelbase/axle data
  • regional-duty service history

05 / PUTTING IT TO WORK

Match the trailer to the whole truck.

Day-cab and short-haul specifications prioritize manoeuvrability, visibility and payload differently from sleeper trucks.

Pulling a trailer

Confirm build-specific combination, axle, tyre and coupling ratings, kingpin and service connections, clearance and actual axle weights. GVW is the loaded truck; GCW is the loaded combination. Neither is trailer payload.

Moving the tractor as cargo

Give the carrier measured length, exterior and mirror widths, height, ground clearance and transport weight. Assess deck access, breakover, loaded height and securement together.

Deck height & loaded height ↗
There is no single “VNR towing capacity”.

The model badge, artwork and catalogue option selectors cannot rate an individual combination. Obtain the actual build limits and scale weights.
