Glossary
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The maximum rated capacity measured at the ground for a given axle system consisting of the axle, springs, wheels, and tires. May also be influenced by the frame
capacity. GAWR is determined by the least rated component in the system.
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)
The in-service vehicle weight, including chassis, body, add-on equipment, and
cargo.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
The manufacturer’s maximum rated GVW for any given vehicle. GVWR is frequently the sum of the GAWRs. However, it may be downrated for braking or handling considerations.
Payload Weight
The actual weight of the cargo carried by a vehicle.
Tare Weight
The weight of a truck fully equipped and ready for service, minus any payload. Also called curb weight or empty weight. All trucks begin with a tare weight for the
standard chassis, to which weights are added for optional equipment, fuel, body
and equipment, plus driver and passengers.

Safety Regulations and Standards General
All motor vehicles must conform to the motor vehicle safety standards (MVSS) mandated by the U.S. and Canadian Governments. MVSS address the manufacture and sale of a new motor vehicle, not its use. U.S. Federal MVSS and safety regulations are issued and enforced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (USDOT). In Canada, motor vehicle safety regulations/standards are issued and enforced by the Ministry of
Transport (Transport Canada). Standards and regulations apply to newly manufactured motor vehicles and certain motor vehicle equipment offered for sale, or placed into operation in the United States, its territories (which include the District of Columbia, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands and American Samoa) and Canada. These
safety standards and regulations are applicable to motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment manufactured on and after
the effective date of each standard/regulation.
Specific vehicle certification label(s) must be affixed to motor vehicles to certify that the vehicle conforms to all applicable U.
S. Federal or Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS and CMVSS) at the time of manufacture. For a vehicle manufactured in two or more stages, the party that completes an incomplete vehicle, e.g., by the addition of a load-carrying body,
is the final-stage manufacturer and is responsible for certifying (by labeling) that the completed vehicle complies with all applicable FMVSS or CMVSS. Additionally, if a new vehicle that has been certified as a completed vehicle is altered in such a
manner that its compliance with any FMVSS or CMVSS is affected, or its weight ratings are changed before its first purchase
by a customer, the party performing the alteration must re-certify (re-label) the vehicles compliance with applicable FMVSS
or CMVSS. For more information on vehicle certification, refer to this guide.

Safety Standards Lamps and Reflective Devices
U.S. Federal and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 108 and CMVSS 108) specify requirements for lamps
and reflective devices on new vehicles. Lamps and reflective devices installed on Volvo vehicles at the assembly plant are installed in compliance with applicable requirements of these standards. The installation of a body or other equipment must
not cause these lamps and/or reflective devices to no longer comply with the angular visibility requirements of these standards. Also, an increase in the height of a vehicle must not cause the lamps and/or reflective devices to exceed the height limitations of these standards. Intermediate manufacturers, final-stage manufacturers and vehicle alterer must ensure that
equipment installed by the incomplete vehicle manufacturer continues to meet the applicable requirements of these standards. To maintain compliance, lamps and/or reflective devices may have to be relocated. Reorienting a lamp from its installed
position, however, may result in the lamp no longer conforming to Standard 108.
Safety Standards Trailer ABS Indicator Lamp Requirements
U.S. Federal and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 121 and CMVSS 121) require that combination vehicles
(any vehicle pulling an air brake-equipped trailer) must have an ABS indicator lamp mounted on the instrument panel to alert
the operator of a trailer anti-lock brake system (ABS) malfunction. This requirement includes all straight trucks having full
trailer connections.
To comply with this requirement, communication between the towing vehicle and trailer anti-lock brake system is necessary.
Communication between these two systems has been accomplished with power line carrier (PLC) technology. This technology allows data to be transmitted over the same line that supplies power. With this technology, the center pin of the standard
7-pin trailer electrical connector has become the standardized source of uninterrupted power as well as data transmission for
the trailer ABS. This pin cannot be used to power any other trailer auxiliary equipment.
Any straight truck intended to pull an air brake-equipped trailer should be ordered from the factory with a full trailer package
to ensure that the vehicle electrical system is PLC compatible and complies with applicable requirements. If the vehicle is not
PLC compatible, modification of the electrical system for PLC compatibility, along with installation of a trailer ABS indicator
lamp on the dashboard will be necessary. In many instances, however, converting a non-PLC compatible vehicle may not be
feasible. Contact Customer Service/Product Support for information concerning converting a vehicle to be PLC compatible.

Functional Safety Standards
ISO 26262 is the functional safety standard for road vehicles. Functional safety addresses safety related functionality implemented in electronics and software. Volvo Trucks follows the standard for new product development after the standard became applicable to trucks, buses and trailers. This standard replaces Volvo Trucks internal processes addressing functional
safety.
The functionality, supporting body building activities, developed according to ISO 26262 will increase continuously. This support is described in the Functional Safety Manual included in the Electrical/Electronics section of the Body Builder
Instructions.

Weight Regulations
Bridge Gross Weight Formula U.S.
The U.S. Federal Bridge Gross Weight Formula was established to provide a standard for controlling the spacing of axles on
trucks that use highway bridges. The purpose is to spread the load over a greater area of the highway surface by spacing
the axles over a longer length of the vehicle, or combination vehicle. This prevents highway damage caused by high concentrations of load.
The U.S. Federal Government established the following formula for determining the allowable weight limits and axle spacings for trucks:

Truck Tractor Conspicuity
To make a truck tractor more conspicuous when approached from the rear at nighttime when being operated without a semitrailer, federal regulations require reflective devices be applied to the rear of the cab and to the mudflaps or mudflap hanger
brackets if mudflaps or mudflap hanger brackets were supplied by the vehicle assembly plant. If mudflaps or mudflap hanger
brackets were not supplied from the vehicle assembly plant, reflective devices must be applied to the rear, lower portion of
the cab. Refer to the illustration. Locations of these reflective devices may vary from this illustration, depending on the cab
model and/or equipment at the rear of the cab. Detailed requirements can be found in U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS) 108.
If installed equipment obstructs the view of any installed reflectors, the reflectors must be relocated, in accordance with
FMVSS 108, to a location where they will be visible.

Certification Label
The “Certification Label” must be part of the vehicle at all times. It shows the vehicle's serial number, the gross vehicle weight
rating (GVWR), and the front and rear gross axle weight ratings (GAWR).
Gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the weight of the original equipped vehicle and all items added to it after it has left the factory.
This includes bodies, winches, booms, the driver and all occupants, plus the load the vehicle is carrying. The GVW must not
exceed the total of the front and rear axle weight ratings.
The vehicle certification label also shows the tire size and recommended tire inflation pressures for the tires originally supplied with the vehicle. The tires on the vehicle must be of the proper size and must be properly inflated for the load being
carried.
Incomplete Vehicle Document
The “Incomplete Vehicle Document” is issued with a temporary certification label, in place of the final certification label, when
the vehicle is sent to a body builder for completion.
If several manufacturers are involved in the process of completing the vehicle, each manufacturer must issue a temporary
certification label that shows to what legal standard the vehicle currently conforms.
The final manufacturer must issue the permanent certification label certifying that the vehicle conforms to FMVSS standards
(as required by 49 CFR Part 567) that are in effect at the time of final manufacture of the incomplete vehicle.
If the vehicle is altered from its original build specifications, the certification label must be updated to reflect the changes (also
see Service Bulletin, “Electrical Guidelines”, “Brake Modification Guidelines”, page 16 , “Air-braked Vehicles”, page 16 , and
“Air-operated Accessories”, page 17 ).

Center of Gravity
The vertical center of gravity of the completed vehicle has a direct effect on the vehicle's stopping distance capability. As the
vertical center of gravity increases or the wheelbase decreases, additional weight is transferred to the front axle during a
stop, adversely affecting the stopping distance.
VTNA requires that trucks built shall have a center of gravity height/wheelbase ratio of 0.50 or less when loaded to a weight
not exceeding GVWR* distributed proportionately to, but not exceeding GWVR,* and a center of gravity height not exceeding
1778 mm (70 in.) on single rear axle vehicle or 1905 mm (75 in.) on tandem rear axle vehicles.
As a guide, the vertical center of gravity height of the incomplete vehicle, as manufactured by VTNA, may be assumed to be
the distance from the ground to the top of the frame side rail measured at the longitudinal midpoint of the vehicle in the unladen condition for single axle vehicles and laden condition for tandem axle vehicles.

The frame rail height may be calculated from the chassis diagrams in this document. Also, if you are measuring an unloaded
chassis, you may assume the loaded frame rail height to be approximately two inches lower than the bare chassis.
Vehicles completed as trucks could require a vertical center of gravity lower than the recommendations above based on the
stability considerations of certain vocational body and/or usage situations. The above recommendations consider only vehicle brake performance. If higher vertical center-of-gravity limitations are required for a specific vocational body or application, contact VTNA or submit all chassis specifications along with body and payload information in a request for advice to:
Product Information Dept./Sales Engineering.
*GVWR and GAWR are indicated on the cover of the Incomplete Vehicle Document.
Vehicle GVWR and GAWRs
The representation as to conformity of the complete vehicle to FMVSS-121 provided in the Incomplete Vehicle Document
has a condition that the GVWR and the GAWR of the completed vehicle shall be identical to the ratings designated on the
front cover of the Incomplete Vehicle Document for the vehicle. The brake system on each incomplete vehicle manufactured
by Volvo Trucks North America (VTNA) is designed to comply with FMVSS-121 when loaded to a specific completed vehicle
GVWR distributed proportionate to specific GAWR. Revised vehicle GVWR or GAWR, or the addition of axles to the vehicle
will change loading conditions and can adversely affect compliance to FMVSS-121.
Brake Modification Guidelines
Final stage manufacturers should note that in order to rely on the representations as to conformity to “FMVSS-121, Brake
Systems” (as provided in the “Incomplete Vehicle Document” which accompanies each Volvo incomplete vehicle), each of
the conditions and instructions of applicable FMVSS-121 statements in the Incomplete Vehicle Document must be followed.
If the final stage manufacturer chooses not to follow each of these instructions and conditions listed in the Incomplete Vehicle
Document, he must assume full responsibility for conformity of the vehicle to FMVSS-121.
Final stage manufacturers should also note that instructions provided are for the assistance of final stage manufacturers who
choose to certify the completed vehicle to FMVSS-121 independently of and without reliance on the conformity representations provided in the Incomplete Vehicle Document.
Air-braked Vehicles
DANGER
Pneumatic components store compressed air and can separate violently during disassembly or removal. Before servicing
any part of the pneumatic (air) system, completely release the air pressure. Failure to do so can result in serious personal
injury or death.
Volvo air-brake equipped incomplete vehicle products, to the extent completed, comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 121, Air Brake Systems (specific completed vehicles exempt from the Standard or portions of the Standard are discussed below).
At the time of writing, FMVSS-121 is applicable to all current production air–brake equipped trucks with specific exceptions.
The statements contained in this section regarding FMVSS-121 compliance are accurate at the time of printing. However,
these statements are not intended to replace the statements regarding FMVSS-121 in the Incomplete Vehicle Document.
Therefore, that manual should be consulted for compliance conditions.
The following are components and characteristics of the completed vehicle which are critical to overall performance of airbraked vehicles. These items should be carefully considered in ordering a vehicle as well as planning vehicle completion by
subsequent stage manufacturers to ensure compliance (final certification) of the completed vehicle to FMVSS-121 as well as
completed vehicle integrity.

Air-operated Accessories
FMVSS-121 has a pressure build-up requirement which states that the system pressure must build up from 586 to 689 kPa
(85 to 100 PSI) in a specific time period under certain conditions. Therefore, the addition of any accessory or its associated
plumbing which increases the volume of air subject to the build-up requirement will increase the build-up time and may affect
compliance with FMVSS-121.
The representation as to conformity of the completed vehicle to FMVSS-121 provided in the Incomplete Vehicle Document
has the following conditions for air operated accessories and its associated plumbing added to a vehicle by a subsequent
stage manufacturer.
DANGER
Pneumatic components store compressed air and can separate violently during disassembly or removal. Before removing
or replacing any part of the pneumatic (air) system, completely release the air pressure. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death.
•
No connections are made into (1) the air line tubing or fittings for the parking brake system; (2) the rear axle system
(modulated spring brake system); (3) the air supply and signal lines to the rear chassis relay valve(s); or (4) the air delivery
lines to the front axle brakes and quick release valve.
•
•
No connections are made between the check valve and the reservoir port for air supply.
•
Each added reservoir shall be capable of withstanding an internal hydrostatic pressure of five times the compressor cutout
pressure — or 3,447 kPa (500 psi), whichever is greater — for 10 minutes.
Additional reservoir volume must be added with pusher and tag axles, Jifflox, etc. Added volume must be equal to 12
times the added brake chambers rated volume.
Air for pneumatic accessories should be sourced directly from an air reservoir. If an unused reservoir tap is not available, fittings added to the system at the reservoir must not restrict air flow to any existing air lines. The following are to be observed
when adding air accessories.
Electronic Control Units (ECUs)
ECUs are connected through the Databus. These ECUs consist of sophisticated electronics that can be permanently damaged if not treated properly (such as exposure to high temperatures).
To prevent serious damage to ECUs, please follow these important guidelines:
CAUTION
Possible damage to electronic components. Turn the vehicle ignition switch OFF before disconnecting or connecting any
electrical components. Failure to de-energize circuits may result in electronic equipment damage.

Welding
Welding anywhere on the truck chassis requires that certain precautionary measures be taken. This is required to prevent
damage to electrical, as well as electronic systems, wiring harness and components.
CAUTION
Welding on trucks can permanently damage the vehicle electrical system/components, due to the voltage and current
spikes that normally occur when welding. It is preferable to avoid welding; however, if welding must be done on any structure on or in contact with the vehicle, disconnect the electrical connectors at the rear of the instrument cluster and follow
the recommendations below:
Before welding on the vehicle:
1
Disconnect the power to the vehicle.
2
Disconnect both the positive (+) and negative (-) battery cables. Disconnect the negative cable first. (When reconnecting,
connect the positive cable first.)
Note: Disconnect the other ECU grounds from the battery before disconnecting the main ground (to avoid damage to the
ECUs).
3
Disconnect the engine/starter ground from the chassis.
4
Disconnect the power harness and vehicle interface harness at the Engine Electronic Control Unit (EECU).
5
Disconnect all electronically controlled modules and devices, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Governor Controls
Shutdown/Warning Electronics
Starter and Ignition Controls
Engine and Vehicle ECUs
Transmission ECU
Anti-lock Brake (ABS) ECU
Chassis ECU
Electronic Speedometer/Tachometer
(This prevents the possibility of alternate paths for induced voltage and currents being created and damaging those
components.)
6
Disconnect the electrical connectors at the rear of the instrument cluster.
7
Attach the welder ground cable as close as possible to the weld (no more than 60 cm (24 in.) from the part being welded).
8
Do not connect the welder ground cable to the engine ECU or the ECU cooling plate.
CAUTION
DO NOT WELD on the engine or engine components. Welding on the engine or components mounted on the engine can
cause serious damage to the Engine ECU and other electrical components.

All Rights Reserved
There are certain basic common sense rules also to be followed when welding, including (but not limited to):
•
Welding cables should not be allowed to lie on/near or cross over any electrical wiring or electronic component during the
welding procedure.
•
After the welding process has been completed and the welded parts have cooled, inspect wiring and components for possible shorts or damage which would allow the possibility of drawing excessive currents or cause short circuits when the
batteries are reconnected.
DANGER
Before working on a vehicle, set the parking brakes, place the transmission in neutral, and block the wheels. Failure to do
so can result in unexpected vehicle movement and can cause serious personal injury or death.
WARNING
Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or electrical components can cause a fire. Clean up fuel spills immediately.
DANGER
Exhaust gases contain deadly poison. When testing a vehicle with the engine running, conduct the test outdoors or use a
properly vented exhaust hose.
WARNING
Keep yourself and your test equipment clear of all moving or hot engine parts. A hot engine can cause serious burns or
can permanently damage test equipment.
DANGER
Pneumatic components store compressed air and can separate violently during disassembly or removal. Before servicing
any part of the pneumatic (air) system, completely release the air pressure. Failure to do so can result in serious personal
injury or death.
Battery Charging and Jump Starting
Jump Starting
It is preferable NOT to jump start vehicles which are electronically controlled. The electronic control units can be damaged
by voltage spikes and current surges created by jump starting.
When jump starting, use only extra batteries from another truck or from a battery tray. The nominal voltage of the extra batteries must not exceed the system voltage of the truck (i.e. 12 V).
DO NOT connect the extra batteries in series with the truck batteries.

All Rights Reserved
CAUTION
Do not connect battery charging or jump starting cables to any part of an engine electronic system. This can damage sensitive electrical devices.
CAUTION
DO NOT use a “Hot Shot” type starting cart or a battery charger, as most use extremely high voltages. Use of a “Hot Shot”
device or battery charger to jump-start the vehicle will seriously damage the ECUs and other electronic equipment.
DANGER
DO NOT use ether when starting an engine with electric or “flame start” intake air heater. Use of ether can cause an explosion and can seriously damage the engine and components and cause serious personal injury or death.
Battery Charging
Before charging, remove the battery box fuse for the Engine Electronic Control Unit (EECU) and Vehicle Electronic Control
Unit (VECU). Next, remove any ECU power supply wires that are directly connected to the batteries. This will ensure that
these components will not be affected by any transient voltages that may occur during charging.
This precaution is necessary due to the extensive variety of manufacturers of battery charging devices and the wide variance
in outputs from these devices.
When charging batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the battery cables and charge each battery separately. This will prevent the
voltage coming into the battery from damaging other system circuits.
Adding Electrical Equipment
Carefully determine the proper wire sizing and fuse requirements for each circuit to be added. Relays may be required for circuits with higher current flow.
Wire connections must not disturb or interfere with any existing system(s) or component(s) within the vehicle.
For example, the 400-409 wires MUST NOT be cut or spliced for any connections. These wires must not be tampered
with.
Data Link Wiring
J1708/J1587 Information Link
If a connection is required to the J1708/J1587 Information Link (i.e. for the Road Relay), use the connector already supplied
in the vehicle harness. This circuit is identified by wires 400 and 401; these will always be a twisted pair of black wires.
Note: Wires 400 and 401 are used for the transmission of data for diagnostic messages and gauges. Modifying this circuit
can cause these functions to fail.
If a circuit being added will carry high currents or frequencies, route it in a location AWAY from wires 400 and 401 to prevent
mutual inductance from interfering with Data Link functions.

J1939/J1922 Control Link
Note: Vehicles with Volvo engines use the J1939 Control Link.
Follow the same guidelines and precautions for the J1939/J1922 Control Link wiring.
No connections may be made to wires 406 (yellow), 407 (green), and 408 (shield). These circuits are used for control of
the vehicle. Accelerator pedal, engine brake, and traction control are examples of functions controlled by these circuits.
Note: Wires 406 and 407 carry the high-speed communications between the electronic systems in the vehicle. Wire 408 is
an uninsulated wire that wraps around 406 and 407. It absorbs RFI that is produced from the communication circuits 406
and 407.
A “terminating resistor” is wired into the Data Link at the end of the Data Link harness. This has a resistance of 120 Ω and
must remain connected for the systems to function properly.
For Volvo engines, a similar terminating resistor is designed into the Engine Electronic Control Unit (EECU) and defines the
other end of the Data Link. For non-Volvo engines, the second terminating resistor is external to the EECU.
Note: These two resistors are in parallel, so the total resistance value measured across the Data Link should be 60 Ω.
CAUTION
Do not modify or make connections to wires 406 (yellow), 407 (green), or 408 (shield). Any modifications, connections, or damage to these wires can result in the failure of the vehicle's electronic systems.

Towing Procedure
General
CAUTION
The driveshaft must be removed before towing the vehicle. Failure to remove the driveshaft may result in damage to the
transmission.
Remove the driveshaft from the rear axle before moving the vehicle. When the transmission is driven from the rear wheels
without the engine running, there is no lubrication in the transmission.
Axle shafts must be removed if the vehicle is to be towed at speeds over 40 km/h (25 mph) or for a long distance. Openings
should be covered to prevent loss of oil and entry of dirt and grit. Where oil-lubricated bearings are used, openings should be
thoroughly sealed with metal discs and new gaskets before towing.
WARNING
If a vehicle with air suspension is lifted by the rear frame member, there is a risk that the air springs will separate from the
spring plates. When towing has been completed, never use your hands to reposition the air springs. There is a great risk
that your hand will be caught between spring and plate causing personal injury.
T0006670
WARNING
Do not tow a vehicle backwards when equipped with roof air fairings. The fairings act as an air scoop and may break off.
Failure to follow this warning may lead vehicle damage and personal injury.
WARNING
Vehicles with air fairings or large superstructures are tall. Make sure that the total height of the vehicle, when it is raised up
behind the wrecker, does not exceed the maximum allowed height for local underpasses. Failure to follow this instruction
may lead to vehicle damage and personal injury.
The vehicle may now be towed. It is recommended that a wrecker with a lift bar is used since the service brakes will not function. The system must be filled with air to release the parking brake.
Note: The power steering does not function when towing a vehicle with a disabled engine.

Towing Instructions
CAUTION
If the vehicle becomes disabled, it is very important to tow it properly. Failure to do so can cause damage to the frame and
body parts. Follow the instructions below to avoid damage.
In the event that the vehicle is not accessible to place the wrecker lift bar under the front axle, use the tow hooks in the front
of the vehicle. The front tow hooks are used as a point at the front of the vehicle where the vehicle can be pulled.
W9000939
When the vehicle is situated properly, lift the front and position the lift bar under the front axle and secure. Using the front axle
for towing minimizes the risk of damage to the vehicle body, frame, and suspension.
If necessary, the driveshaft and axle shaft can be removed for towing.
Note: When the driveshaft or axle shafts are reinstalled, make sure the nuts are tightened to the correct torques. Also make
sure the axle shafts are installed in the proper sides, with the left shaft in the left side and the right shaft in the right side.

Design and Function
Weight Distribution
Determining the weight distribution of a truck is an important calculation. It can indicate whether a truck is legally loaded, and
can show whether any dangerous overloading might occur.
Weight distribution calculations are not difficult to perform; an understanding of the theory involved will make it easier to perform the calculations and correctly analyze each application.
Theory
The theory of weight distribution can be illustrated as follows:
Two men are painting a house. To get all of the material to the job in one trip, they put the paint and brushes in a box, set it
on a ladder, and each pick up an end.
W9000362
Fig. 4 Weight Distribution Theory
1 Load
2 Total length
3 Distance from center of load to “B”
The ladder is 10 feet long. The box of supplies weighs 50 lb. The center of the box is located 3 feet from the man at position
B. Intuitively, we know that man “B” is carrying more of the load because he is closer to it than man “A.” The amount of weight
being carried by man “A” can be determined using the following formula:
Weight at man "A" =
Total weight x Distance from weight to man "B"
Distance from man "A" to man "B"
50 lb x 3 feet
Weight at man "A" =
10 feet

Weight at man “A” = 15 lb.
The weight carried by man “B” is obtained by subtracting the weight at man “A” from the total weight.
Weight at man “B” = Total weight – weight at man “A”
Weight at man “B” = 50 lb – 15 lb
Weight at man “B” = 35 lb
The percentage of weight transferred to each man can also be calculated.
% of weight at man “A” = 3/10 x 100% = 30%
The percentage of weight transferred to man “B” is found by subtracting the % weight at man “A” from 100%: 100% – 30% =
70%.
Distance from weight to man "B"

Fuel Tank Position, VHD
Fuel Tank Position (FTP) indicates the distance the fuel tanks are located from the front axle.
The VHD has multiple battery mounting options available and two SCR locations on the passenger side. This chassis configuration section will help in determining the optimum chassis configurations.
The fuel tank configurations are offered in single driver side or dual tank options. Dual fuel tanks may not always be symmetrical, depending on chassis configurations. However, different size fuel tanks on the driver side and passenger side may be
chosen to make the chassis look symmetrical.
In addition, new “D-shaped” tanks are available to shorten wheelbases with the same capacity fuel tank. The D-shaped tanks
provide approximately a 10% shorter fuel tank, which reduces overall fuel tank length approximately three to seven inches.
The fuel tank lengths are shown in the table below.

VHD Axle Forward, Left-Hand Fuel Tank Position
The left-hand fuel tank position is dependent on the battery box configuration, three or four battery capacity battery boxes.
The fuel tanks are mounted in the same location regardless of the DEF tank size, i.e., 11.9 gallons (45.0 L) or 18.5 gallons
(70.0 L), because they are the same width.

Fuel Tank Position, VN
Fuel Tank Position (FTP) indicates the distance the fuel tanks are located from the front axle.
There are multiple battery mounting options available on the driver’s side and multiple SCR combinations provided on the
passenger side. This chassis configuration section will help in determining the optimum chassis configurations.
The fuel tank configurations are offered in single driver side, single passenger side or dual tank options. Dual fuel tanks may
not always be symmetrical, depending on chassis configurations. However, different size fuel tanks on the driver side and
passenger side may be chosen to make the chassis look symmetrical.
In addition, “D-shaped” tanks are available to shorten wheelbases with the same capacity fuel tank. The D-shaped tanks provide approximately a 10% shorter fuel tank, which reduces overall fuel tank length approximately three to seven inches. The
fuel tank lengths are shown in the table below.
