Volvo FH is one of the industry's most successful models ever with nearly 1.4 million trucks sold, in around 80 markets all over the world. It was launched with an all-new chassis designed to provide flexible solutions for different transport applications. The powertrain featured a completely new 12-liter engine (16 liters for the Volvo FH16) and the all-new cab offered good aerodynamics and high driver comfort.
Innovation achievements over the past three decades include the driver airbag, I-Shift automated gearbox and Volvo Dynamic Steering for easy steering and increased maneuverability.

“The first-generation Volvo FH was a game changer that totally transformed the concept of a modern truck. Since then, we have continued to set new standards in trucking and launched five further generations of this truck. Our success formula has been to make use of the very latest technology in a way that always adds clear benefits for our customers and drivers. As proof of our successful continuous improvement efforts and constant evolution, I’m very proud that Volvo FH is the only truck that has been selected ‘International Truck of the Year’ three times,” states Ylva Dalerstedt, Long Haul Segment Manager at Volvo Trucks.
Roger Alm, President of Volvo Trucks, added: “Volvo FH is the perfect representation of a customer focused mindset and a model that has been pushing the boundaries for 30 years. In all crucial areas like driver comfort, fuel efficiency, safety and productivity, we have never stopped improving this truck. I’m very proud that today our customers can order the Volvo FH as electric, gas-powered and diesel,”
