Commercial truck front-end protection manufacturer Ex-Guard has launched a new line of grille guards engineered specifically for Volvo’s new VNR, along with updates for the redesigned VNL.

“Just like the new Volvo VNL and VNR themselves, these guards represent a leap forward in design and performance,” said Drever. “For the XG-150G3-VM and EX-150G3-VM extreme duty models, we’ve increased hood protection height, redesigned the upper section for better headlight coverage, and enhanced logo visibility, all while preserving the advanced sensor functionality and aerodynamic styling that Volvo customers expect.”
The new guard lineup features five models, ranging from extreme-duty full protection for the bumper, grille, radiator, hood, and headlights to low-profile full bumper protection guards. The VM series includes the XG-150G3-VM, EX-150G3-VM, XG-125G3-VM, EX-125G3-VM, and EX-100G3-VM.
Ex-Guard worked directly with industry partners, customers, and Volvo on real-world testing to validate the design and strength of the new guards.
In addition to specific design features for compatibility with the new Volvo VNL and VNR, the new guards feature:
- Compatibility with the trucks’ built-in collision mitigation system radars
- Ex-Guard’s patented XERO-G Lift Assist, which reduces the effort to raise and lower the guard
- 8-gauge high-tensile steel coated with 3 mm of EVRCoat PVC finish
- LEVRLock dual latches
- Additional cross bar for increased grille coverage
- License plate bracket
The new VM series guards are now available to order at any of Ex-Guard’s 2,500 dealers across the U.S. and Canada.
