The Volvo 66 wis kent for its continuously variable transmission, the Variomatic. The Volvo version o the caur wis slichtly restyled an gien lairger bumpers compared wi those o the oreeginal DAF model. Awtho this wis in keepin wi Volvo's emphasis on safety, it an aa increast its cost o production.

  • New seats featurin headrests
  • A safety steerin wheel
  • Doors wi steel side impact bars
  • A declutching servo which enabled the driver tae chynge gear wi the choke engaged (In the aulder DAF models this wisna possible, acause the increased idle caused the centrifugal clutch tae engage).
