TEL, a leading national provider of commercial truck leasing, sales and remarketing, is adding the Volvo VNL 860 to its lineup of Class 8 trucks available for customer lease by owner-operators and fleets. The Volvo VNL 860 will complement TEL’s existing sleeper offerings, which include the Freightliner Cascadia and Peterbilt 579, giving customers an even broader selection of premium, driver focused equipment options.
TEL will debut the all-new Volvo VNL 860 trucks at this year’s Mid America Trucking Show March 26-28, marking an important expansion of the company’s product portfolio and its ongoing commitment to offering industry leading equipment solutions.
The Volvo VNL 860 is widely recognized for its spacious sleeper design, advanced safety technologies and fuel efficient engineering. By adding Volvo to its lineup, TEL strengthens its ability to serve a wide range of fleet and owner operator preferences—whether the priority is fuel economy, driver comfort, safety technology or long haul performance.
“TEL has been a trusted provider to the transportation industry for over 20 years. We are committed to investing in equipment that supports our owner-operator and fleet partners in a way that gives them the lowest total cost to operate. Adding Volvo to our leasing lineup is a natural next step for TEL,” said Aaron Thompson, Vice President of Asset Management for TEL. “The Volvo VNL 860 brings a distinct combination of innovation, safety and efficiency that complements the rest of our fleet extremely well. This gives our customers more choice and flexibility while maintaining the high standards they expect from TEL equipment.”
The Volvo VNL 860 is designed with a strong emphasis on safety and efficiency, featuring advanced driver assist technologies, improved aerodynamics and powertrain enhancements engineered to help reduce fuel consumption. Inside the cab, the VNL 860 offers a modern, ergonomic layout with one of the tallest and most spacious sleepers in the industry—an important consideration for long haul drivers and fleets focused on driver satisfaction and retention.
“Our goal has always been to provide equipment solutions that help our customers operate more safely, efficiently and profitably,” said Sheri Aaberg, Chief Operating Officer of TEL. “The Volvo VNL 860 aligns perfectly with that mission. By expanding our lineup beyond two industry leading models to include Volvo, we are reinforcing our commitment to choice, quality and long term value for our customers.”.
With the addition of Volvo, TEL’s sleeper truck lineup now spans some of the most trusted and respected original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the industry. Each model offers unique strengths, allowing TEL customers to select equipment that best fits their operational needs, driver preferences and business goals.
Attendees of the Mid America Trucking Show will have the opportunity to see TEL’s Volvo VNL 860 trucks firsthand and speak with TEL representatives about leasing options, specifications and availability.
