Nothing at all is real these days, from clickbait stories clogging your Facebook news feed to “reality” tv. Everything’s at least a small bit staged, and it is with that point of view we watched Volvo Trucks’ latest amusing industrial. For a division of Volvo with perhaps the least-fascinating items, the Trucks guys positive know how to score a chuckle from us vehicle guys. A current effort involved Jean-Claude Van Damme carrying out the splits, right after all.
The YouTube clip pits a rookie valet at a casino on the Italian Riviera against a parade of the hottest sports cars, the nervous-searching fellow gulping and awkwardly gaping at the model-grade ladies stepping out from the exotic rides. It all appears to be common initial-day-on-the-job fare . . . till a Volvo semi-truck pulls up to the red carpet.
We don’t ever find out how the valet manages the huge rig, but Volvo ends the clip with the boast that “under the hood, it is a sports car.” You see, the Volvo FH truck is obtainable with I-Shift Dual-Clutch, a heavy-duty dual-clutch automatic transmission. Although it hardly transforms the FH into a Porsche 911 competitor, the dual-clutch does speed up shift times and take away the chore of operating a clutch from the truck-driving expertise. And not possessing to climb the studying curve for a semi-truck manual transmission means that valet kid may possibly truly have been capable to drive the FH. Whether or not he completely decimated every thing in sight was a different story, we’re confident.
