Additional Information
The Volvo G946 stands out in the grader market due to its advanced All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system, which features three distinct operating modes: Tandem, AWD, and Creep Mode. Creep Mode allows the operator to drive the machine using only the hydrostatic front-wheel drive for ultra-precise fine grading at low speeds. The grader is powered by the fuel-efficient Volvo D7E engine, which utilises Volvo’s smart power management system to automatically adjust power curves based on the selected gear. This ensures optimal tractive effort and fuel economy across all grading applications.
