We are proud to extend our sponsorship of this valuable outreach program once again in 2017.”
America’s Road Team Captains are experienced drivers who travel around the country in a Volvo VNL 780 model, which hauls the ATA’s Image Trailer. The captains meet students, community groups, lawmakers and government officials.
The Volvo VNL model is equipped with Volvo advanced safety technologies, including adaptive cruise control with integrated collision avoidance, Volvo Enhanced Stability Control and the Volvo I-Shift automated manual transmission.
