A special edition design with premium materials and driver-centric features. This is the 100 Year Edition truck, celebrating Volvo’s 100 years of innovation. Design Director Jonathan Disley explains the unique look of this truck, and how it came to be.
Almost one hundred years ago, Volvo was starting to produce trucks already aiming to pioneer within safety, sustainability and design. In 2027 Volvo celebrates its 100th anniversary, offering a special edition truck with exclusive exterior and interior design features.
“This is not a special edition with a sticker; this is something special to be proud of. It’s passion, knowledge and Scandinavian heritage combined. It’s the pinnacle of what we have achieved up until now,” explains Design Director Jonathan Disley.
What makes the Volvo 100 Year Edition special?
This truck offers the usual Volvo FH Aero, FH, FH16 Aero and FH16 experience, focusing on safety, sustainability, quality and fuel efficiency. But with its new design features and the unique Volvo 100 year artwork, this is no ordinary truck.
The special edition, offered in black and white color schemes, celebrates Volvo’s heritage, Scandinavian seasonal changes, and especially the Scandinavian daylight and winter darkness. This is reflected both in a new premium look for the truck’s exterior, including 100 Year Edition striping, but also through several unique driver-centric interior features, reflecting Volvo’s 100 years of innovation.
The interior design illustrates what we are, but also what makes Volvo special. For example, the new curtain shows different truck silhouettes, sharing the heritage and pride of our brand.
Driver comfort and interior features inspired by Volvo's heritage
Jonathan highlights the exclusive two-toned seat and its connection to history. With its dark perforated leather base and a light textile upper it commemorates the times when textile was luxurious and leather was used for more practical reasons. The two materials are separated with a tan leather divider, inspired by the very first Volvo vehicle “The Jacob,” with a Volvo wordmark, completed with an embroidered 100-year motif at in the headrest.
“You can see the exclusivity of this world-class seat, even from outside the truck. It’s really comfortable, but it also looks unique and modern. The interior design really illustrates what we are, but also what makes Volvo so special. For example, the new curtain is all about storytelling. It shows different Volvo Trucks silhouettes, sharing the heritage and pride of the Volvo brand throughout the years.”
A premium feeling with home comforts
Robert Aztor, Product Manager at Volvo Trucks, has also been part of the team behind the 100-year edition truck. He emphasizes the premium design features that are designed to make you feel at home in the cab. The high-quality carpets are made in Sweden by an exclusive supplier, combining traditional craftsmanship and comfort with modern design. The truck also offers illuminated door sills and panels with ambient red and white LED lighting.
“I would highlight the exclusive carpets, the leather-clad instrument panel and unique curtains: combined with our world-class seats, which can be fully adapted to your body, thereby ensuring a perfect driver position and allowing easy access to the controls. All of this makes the whole cab very premium and driver-centric,” says Robert.
Jonathan explains that the design might seem to be simple and straightforward, but it’s deceptively complex. For him and the team, it was important to show the unique heritage and the passion behind the brand. It was equally important to make a design that stands through time and makes you feel proud and confident as a driver. It is also a teaser for the 100-year celebration in 2027.
“This truck is a party piece, but it’s also like a well-tailored suit for the driver. We all enjoy having a suit that makes us feel proud and confident, or business like. The 100-year edition is bold and elegant in a Scandinavian way, but it’s not shouting it, it simply shows it by being a very unique product.”
