Operating construction equipment isn’t as easy as getting behind the wheel of your car.  That’s why Volvo has an Advanced Training Simulator, putting a whole new spin on operator training with 3-D graphics and a hydraulically controlled platform. Imagine training that allows you to feel precisely how the machine will react in various situations.  This allows training in even the toughest environments and most stressful situations, all in a realistic environment without risk to either one’s self, another person, or the machine. 

The advantages of operator training are numerous.  They include less risk for personnel or machines versus real life operating, proactive training in unpredictable situations and minimal distractions in a classroom environment.  There’s also a cost savings to consider – fuel consumption, minimal machine damage and/or wear and reduced training supervision.

The powerful real-time physics simulation together with the latest animation technology and Volvo’s unique operator environment enables an affordable and compact solution to operator training. When used together, the Volvo Advanced Training simulator further supports Volvo’s strive to offer safe and environmentally friendly products, and help customers to get the full advantage of the Volvo product strength.
