The biggest of all trucks made by Volvo, the FH celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2013. However, the range has undergone several redesigns over the course of its relatively short history, both on the outside and underneath the bonnet. Today, the FH, both new and used, is available with 12 and 16 litre engines, giving them plenty of power to go with their extra payload capacity.
What’s most impressive about the Volvo FH is the size. They’re ideal for major jobs that involve crossing borders for delivery, while they’re seen as surprisingly easy to drive. The variety of cabs available makes them worth a second look, especially for businesses that routinely need to make regular large-scale deliveries. The range of tech available on board is pretty wide too.

Power and capacity are the name of the game with the Volvo FH. Today, buyers can get an FH with 550bhp or, if they need a little bit more, one with a whopping 660bhp, more than any other truck currently on the market. In terms of capacity, the biggest FH can hold well in excess of 20 tonnes, depending on what it’s being used for.
Gearbox options for the Volvo FH are as follows – 9-speed manual, 14-speed manual and the 12-speed I-Shift. If unsure of which one is best, the I-Shift gearbox is the best possible choice if you want an automatic gearbox. However, the others do have 14-speed range change and splitter versions with optional overdrive.
There are four cab types to choose from – Day, Sleeper, Globetrotter and the huge Globetrotter XL. The latter of the four is full-height and has enough room for a few riders, not to mention any luggage needed for a long trip.
Both the tractor units and rigids in the FH range are very popular in the UK. They have generally been well received, no matter how many changes have been made. As there have been so many alterations, there are plenty of used models available on the market.
Announced at a glittering worldwide launch in 2012, the current model Volvo FH truck is at the top of most drivers’ wish lists. The combination of an appealing brand, high safety and comfort levels plus impressive fuel consumption makes the Volvo FH truck.
Volvo FH trucks are amongst the best trucks you could possibly wish to buy if you need one with ample size and power to perform the largest jobs imaginable.
