Powerful, precise and flexible - the Volvo Model G990 Motor Grader provides the tools you need to build and maintain the road ahead. 
· The Model G990’s high blade down force of 11 395 kg (25 160 lbs) allows deep cuts without front end drift.

· The Model G990’s strong blade pull of 13 050 kg (28 755 lbs) helps you get the most out of each pass.

· High performance, heavy-duty Volvo, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine gives you maximum net power of 198 kW (265 hp), so you get more done with less effort.

· Full powershift Volvo-designed HTE840 transmission with eight-forward/four-reverse speeds gives you the flexibility of multiple operating modes and smooth shifting for fast cycle times.

· Shuttle shifting allows forward to reverse shifts (and vice versa) without using the inching pedal or stopping first – reducing cycle times and operator fatigue.

· A heavy-duty front axle gives you greater maneuverability with a shorter turning radius, a wheel lean capability of 18˚ right and left, oscillation of 16˚, and excellent ground clearance.

· Volvo APR90 rear axle with easy to release differential lock clutch keeps you moving even in the worst tractive conditions.

· Industry-leading blade reach and stability finishes the job with less passes for more productivity and profitability.

· Responsive load-sensing hydraulic system allows you to perform multiple functions simultaneously, delivering optimal cycle times even at low engine rpm.

· Blade lift system offers the ability to place the blade in a wide range of positions at any angle between 90˚ upward and 21˚ downward on both sides of the machine for superior blade mobility, control and reach.

· Wide range of Volvo attachments, available for front, mid and rear-mount use, offer you the flexibility and versatility of multiple machines to expand your bidding opportunities.
Operate on a new level with a partner as efficient as you. Look to the Volvo Model G990 Motor Grader, and get it done better and faster. 
· Volvo engine delivers high torque even at low rpm for quick, precise response and low fuel consumption.

· Standard three engine power ranges automatically matches the right power to your application.

· Load-sensing hydraulic system with a closed-center axial piston pump optimizes fuel economy by providing the right amount of oil flow according to actual demand.

· Optional Volvo HTE1160 transmission with 11-forward/six-reverse speeds helps you stretch your productivity with precision control at low-speed, efficient travel at high speed and greater accuracy in the working range. Also enhances fuel economy in every gear since the engine can be operated at the most economical speed.

· Innovative shuttle-shift feature ensures efficient, effortless control as you smoothly change between selected forward or reverse gears without pausing or using the inching pedal.

· Optional autoshift allows the transmission to automatically select the right gear, easing your machine through any application requiring speed above 16 km/h (10 mph).

· Powertrain components strategically positioned to give optimized weight distribution between the front and rear wheels, stabilizing the machine and maximizing cutting and pushing capacity for maximum productivity
