Heavy-duty aftermarket parts manufacturer Retrac this week announced the release of the Tuff Guard XT and ProTec Edge XT grille guards compatible with Volvo’s updated regional-haul VNR trucks (2026 and newer).
Compatible with VORAD (vehicle on-board radar) systems and fog lights, the new grille guards feature a custom bend designed to complement the front-end contours of the Volvo VNR while maintaining the durability, sleek appearance and affordability Retrac is known for, the company said.
“Our product development is driven by what today’s fleets need most: protection, reliability and solutions engineered for the vehicles they operate,” said Jeff Perez, Director of Business Development. “Expanding our grille guard offering for the 2026 and newer Volvo VNR is another example of how Retrac continues to invest in practical innovations that help protect both equipment and uptime.”

Retrac’s new VNR grille guard lineup features two premium models: the Tuff Guard XT and the larger ProTec Edge XT.
The Tuff Guard XT is available in both a polished stainless-steel finish and a durable black powder coat.
The ProTec Edge XT is available in polished stainless steel with a black powder coat model coming soon.
A custom MagLatch bracket (sold separately) was developed specifically to mount the guards on Volvo trucks. Retrac said MagLatch brackets help reduce downtime thanks to a fold-down mechanism that provides fast, easy engine access.
“Front-end damage from a deer strike or collision is very costly, which is why dependable bumper and grille protection matters to fleets,” said Mike Padrnos, Retrac Sales Manager. “The new Tuff Guard XT and ProTec Edge XT grille guards give Volvo VNR customers a durable, vehicle-specific solution designed to help protect their investment, minimize damage when accidents happen and keep trucks on the road.”
The new Retrac grille guards for Volvo VNR trucks (2026 and newer) are available at dealers and distributors around the country. Contact Retrac for your nearest dealer/distributor.
