Volvo Trucks has launched the new Volvo FH featuring a re-imagined cab, innovative safety features and a driver focused working environment. A key aim of the new design is to give the driver a more productive, safe and comfortable life on the road.

Volvo Trucks is introducing four new trucks, with a strong focus on the driver environment, safety and productivity. “We are really proud of this big forward-looking investment. Our aim is to be our customers’ best business partner by making them even more competitive and help them attract the best drivers in an increasingly tough market,” says Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks. The four heavy-duty trucks; Volvo FH, FH16, FM and FMX, represent about two thirds of Volvo Trucks’ deliveries.

Volvo Trucks has launched its all new Volvo FMX with an entirely new cab, increased payloads and innovative safety features. With increased front axle loads of up to 20 tonnes and a 38 tonne bogie, the new Volvo FMX is built for the toughest conditions and most demanding assignments.

Volvo Trucks has launched a new generation of the Volvo FH16 which successfully combines new safety features, a driver centric working environment and the latest technologies to give customers enhanced productivity. The new flagship model belongs to Volvo Trucks’ next generation of vehicles designed with the driver in mind.

Volvo Trucks’ latest launch film has reached new heights. To demonstrate the power and strength of its four new vehicles, Volvo built a colossal 15-metre, 58-tonne truck tower, stacking its four new trucks on top of one another. Adding to that, they stood president Roger Alm on top.

South African haulier ATS has always had an ability to see new opportunities in every facet of its business. The chance to test drive the new Volvo Torque Assist and reduce fuel consumption was one such opportunity, and it is already paying off.

The new Volvo FMX has been specially designed to make the work of a construction driver easier, safer and more comfortable. Swedish construction haulier EG Eriksson puts it to the test.

A growing safety concern is our use of smartphones while on the move. They divert our attention away from the road and it’s not hard to figure out why.

Driver feedback was key to the updated Volvo FH and FH16 truck cab interior. As soon as you get behind the wheel it’s clear that the improvements create a safer and much more comfortable, user-friendly driver experience.

The redesign of the Volvo FM cab interior is the first since its launch in the late 1990’s. Carina Byström, Chief Designer Interior at Volvo Trucks, explains what inspired her and her colleagues during the floor-to-ceiling update.

The 12-inch instrument display in Volvo Trucks’ new range is designed to keep the driver’s hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.
