Volvo Trucks N10
The N10 was Volvo's first tractor designed explicitly for US market operation — a conventional cab with the Volvo TD100 turbodiesel and North American-compatible fifth wheel height. It established Volvo as a serious long-haul competitor in North America and introduced European engineering standards to American operators.
