HIGH PROFILE
Enter Generation 10
The ADT Generation 10 was the first significant
design change under Volvo, with the Generation
10 TA400 model launched at Bauma 2016. Both
the TA300 and TA400 version were launched for
the US market in September 2016 having been
built at the factory in July. Being part of Volvo
means that while Terex Trucks continues to do all
of the design work for its machines, Volvo is also
there to offer development assistance.
Generation 10 changes include an improved
environment for the operator with a much
improved HVAC, such as having airflow directly
onto the driver. The cab sealing is improved and
the cab itself offering pressurised properties;
making it much easier to control the operator
environment and keep dust out. The new TA400
cushioned steering has also been applied to
improve operator comfort and control.
In engine terms, Generation 10 is also the
Terex Trucks entry point for Stage IV engines in
Europe (DC13 Scania in case of TA400); whereas
in North America Generation 9 machines already
came with a Tier 4 Final engine. Despite Volvo
making its own engines, Terex Trucks has
maintained its relationship with Scania for ADTs,
with which it has worked closely across the
range. The Scania engines achieve the Stage IV
emissions levels purely with SCR/EGR technology
with no DPF. The TA400 also features a new
dropbox/transfer box to improve performance
and reliability; while both the TA300 and TA400
Generation 10 models feature enhanced security
for hydraulic systems using magnetic suction
filters, ensuring no particulate contamination;
and improved over-pivot routing of hydraulic
hosing. The Human Machine Interface (HMI) has
also been impr
