Volvo Construction Equipment’s A40F articulated hauler has received the iF Product Design Award following on from winning the ‘red dot: best of the best’ product design award in February.

The A40F was awarded the prize in category 15: special vehicles, construction and agriculture.

“We are extremely proud to win another globally-recognised mark of industrial design quality for the A40F articulated hauler,” says Anders P. Larsson, executive vice president of 3573 Volvo CE’s technology function. “This award is a tribute to the hard work of the many dedicated and skilled Volvo CE employees who helped to create Volvo’s range of F-Series haulers by pushing the boundaries of technology and design.”

Stina Nilimaa Wickström, design director at Volvo CE, says. “When we started designing this generation of machines we evaluated the strongest elements from the previous series, those which most reflected the company’s core values of quality, safety and environmental care. We incorporated the strengths and implemented an updated design identity across the Volvo range.”

Around 2,000 guests are expected to celebrate the iF award winners on 22 February, 2013, in Munich, Germany.
