The film “The Hamster Stunt” has been a major success on
Youtube and has been viewed more than 3.4 million times in just one week. It
shows how the new Volvo FMX, equipped with Volvo Dynamic Steering, is steered
by a hamster on rough, twisting tracks in a quarry.
Volvo Dynamic Steering is a new system from Volvo Trucks
that allows the driver to steer a heavily laden truck without effort. At low
speeds, an electric motor replaces the driver's muscle power. The system's
developers aimed to deliver perfect steering feel in all operating conditions.
