Farming Simulator at Volvo CE

Building the world we want to live in is not only a purpose that Volvo CE lives by, but is also the premise behind Farming Simulator 22 – allowing players to create their own farming ecosystem in any number of ways. It is the latest iteration of the popular game by Swiss gaming developer and publisher GIANTS Software.

Volvo CE’s role in the game will be to provide players with the opportunity to experience a true-to-life logging and forestry worksite through a number of gamified Volvo CE machines – most notable among them will be the new Volvo L200H High Lift wheel loader.

The wheel loader, only recently unveiled by Volvo CE, is characterized by its greatly increased lifting capacity and added power compared to its predecessor, the Volvo L180H High Lift market-leading in the logging industry. It will be featured in Farming Simulator 22, alongside other soon-to-be-revealed Volvo machines.

FULLY IMMERSIVE PARTNERSHIP

“We are excited to take our first active steps into the booming world of gaming with GIANTS Software. It will not only be a unique chance for players to bring our machines to life, but the game also represents a great opportunity to introduce a younger generation to all the thrill of machine operation.”

says Arvid Rinaldo, Brand Partnerships at Volvo CE.

With over 30 million units sold and available across 165 countries, Farming Simulator is reqularly placed in Top 10 lists of the most popular games across the globe. Available to play on all major platforms, including PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Mac, it has been a family favourite for 15 years. Farming Simulator 22 promises to be its most immersive version yet.

“Volvo CE joining the Farming Simulator universe means a unique and yielding partnership, offering a lot of opportunities. While we align for an exciting project, players can look forward to the Volvo CE-powered reinforcement of gameplay aspects in Farming Simulator 22 in the near future.”

says Thomas Frey, Creative Director and Partner Manager at GIANTS Software.

FROM REAL WORLD TO VIRTUAL WORLD

Given this is the first time construction machines like the Volvo L200H High Lift have been gamified, developers had to take extra effort to digitalize them. A team of developers visited a real-world construction site to study the machines in action and then transfer the machines’ real-life movements into the virtual sphere. In doing so that they were able to map out a digital version as close as possible to the original.

The most exciting aspect of gaming is that players can do things they generally do not get to do otherwise. So for Volvo CE, it is a chance to introduce operator skills to an audience who may not have been able to access them before.

With this latest version of Farming Simulator, players can add additional levels of complexity – so whether they are a younger player who wants to simply drive a Volvo L200H High Lift wheel loader or a more strategic player looking to create their own unique farming production chain from logging through to market, there is something for everyone. And family-friendly Farming Simulator, which also includes Volvo Trucks in the game, stands out against other popular fantasy games by providing a true-to-life education into the agriculture industry and a unique space for unlimited creativity.

“At CNH Industrial Reman, we have the gift of hindsight, meaning our engineering and quality departments constantly analyze warranty data and failure modes of the various components we offer to develop corrective actions and greatly reduce failures. This process, along with the constant communication flow from the original manufacturer of the parts allows us to remanufacture our products to the latest and greatest specifications, maximizing uptime for the end-user.”

Chandler Dalenberg, dealer development manager at CNH Industrial Reman.

CNH Industrial Reman replacement parts carry a better-than-new warranty that exceeds OEM and replacement part warranties and is backed by CNH Aftermarket Solutions.

“We are so confident in our production team and the quality of our products that we extended our warranty coverages up to 24 month. We’re able to offer the best-in-class warranty so equipment owners can enjoy peace of mind knowing we have them covered from day one.”

said Dalenberg.

Compared to repairing parts or purchasing aftermarket or salvage parts, end-customers minimize their risks when they purchase replacement parts covered by the CNH Industrial Reman warranty program.

“Over 90% of the products we offer carry the 24-month warranty for parts and labor, the exception being some of the major engine components where we promote servicing with our remanufactured engine assemblies. End-customers can learn more about the specific details by visiting their local CNH dealer.”

said Dalenberg.

If a customer chooses to install a CNH Industrial Reman part themselves or use options other than an approved CNH dealer location, warranty coverages are cut in half and will only be paid on the part. Labor is not included in the coverage for non-dealer-installed parts.

These UV34 and UV34XL gas models have an all-new chassis for increased durability and ride quality, an enhanced suspension system, increased towing capacity, a new gas engine and more integrated accessories.

High performance and power

Operators can stay equipped for any situation with the new UV34 and UV34XL gas utility vehicles – they can carry more equipment, bring more help along for the job and save hours of manual labor. A newly designed 39.9 hp two-cylinder SOHC engine delivers generous horsepower and hard-working performance. Operators will experience more power than ever before; the large, 900-watt stator offers increased output for electric-powered attachments.

Improved ride quality and comfort

The new UV34 and UV34XL gas utility vehicles are designed with an all-new chassis that gives operators additional comfort, strength and performance for the job. The chassis design improves ground clearance and off-road capability while allowing more range of motion in the suspension for superior ride quality – a feature further enhanced with added seat contours that are designed for maximum comfort and support during operation. Bobcat UV34 utility vehicles offer seating for an operator and two passengers, while the extended UV34XL has room for an operator and five passengers.

With more material added to the frame, suspension components, wheel hubs and sealed wheel bearings, Bobcat UV34 and UV34XL utility vehicles offer heightened durability. An independent rear suspension with sway bar provides improved ride quality and handling. All-new shocks and springs, plus stronger drive components push through challenging jobs, boosting operator productivity without sacrificing ride quality.

Improved ride quality is also a focus of the new cab design featuring a low, wide cab opening that allows for easy entry and exit. Updated instrumentation throughout the cab makes operation more intuitive, while larger controls and gauges improve visibility and ease of use. Improved sealing on the optional enclosed cab keeps operators and interior alike shielded from dust and debris, and it ensures optimal heating performance. More in-dash storage was added to the new cab design along with a flip-up seat for stowaway convenience of larger items.

Work-focused hauling and towing

The UV34 and UV34XL utility vehicles are designed with a rugged cargo box that leads the industry in size and payload capacity. The greater payload capacity allows operators to haul more, and in turn, maximize time on a jobsite, farm, acreage or grounds maintenance project. The large cargo box can be emptied manually or with an optional powered cargo box lift.

Bobcat UV34 utility vehicles can carry up to 1,250 pounds. The 2-inch receiver hitch on Bobcat utility vehicles can easily tow up to 2,500 pounds of trailered equipment and materials.

Accessories

The new Bobcat utility vehicles can be customized with a variety of kits and accessories, including LED working lights, radio, brush guard and in-cab heater, cargo box divider and a lockable tool box.
