  • The class leading “I” shift Gearbox and now with the option of the dual clutch
  • Features like the unique Volvo Dynamic Steering that perfects the steering control and reduces driver strain injuries at the same time.
  • The Volvo Engine Brake giving the Volvo FH great braking power from the start.
  • The cab was designed after countless tests with real drivers. It was with their needs in mind that every decision was made. This resulted in a cab that really impressed the market. The Volvo FH was not just a place for driving – it was also a place for living.
  • Now offering engine power outputs from 420BHP to 750BHP currently the most powerful production truck available.
