I talked to a truck lot salesman that had a few Volvos on the lot, and he explained that the VED-12 is Volvo's own engine, used overseas for several years but only available here for the last few. He knows of fleet owners that are quite happy with them, the biggest downside being that you have to find a Volvo shop for any work needed. A fleet owner that runs them in his dump trucks claims slightly better fuel mileage compared to Detroits, but that's just his opinion....
