Volvo FM gas-powered

The Volvo FM gas-powered is designed to give you the power and fuel-saving capabilities to match your long and regional haul, distribution, waste and recycling, and public services and utilities needs. It has the same performance and productivity as a Volvo fueled with diesel, and you can choose between 420 hp, 460 hp, or 500 hp power ratings with up to 2800 Nm of torque.

Work your way with lower CO2 emissions

With stricter emissions regulations and rising demand for sustainable transport, reducing CO2 is becoming essential in regional operations. The Volvo FM gas-powered combines efficient fuel consumption with lower emissions – without compromising productivity. Backed by tailored service contracts and connected digital solutions, it fits smoothly into the way you work every day.

Raising the bar on braking power

The Volvo Engine Brake (VEB) offers power across the full spectrum of revs, with 470 kW at 2300 rpm, making it the strongest engine brake for a truck with a 13-litre engine.
With the retarder, the brake torque you’ll get is 3600 Nm while keeping the brake power of 450 kW and reducing the weight by 2 kg. The high torque means that full brake power is reached at lower vehicle speeds.​​

Less drag. More efficiency.

The aerodynamic cab and Camera Monitor System replace traditional mirrors to save energy and reduce drag at high speeds. And with adaptive high beam lighting, you see more, without disturbing anyone else.

Efficient, safe, and sustainable power

Able to carry heavy loads for high productivity, the Volvo FM gas-powered is equipped with the powerful, fuel-efficient, and reliable 13-liter engine that delivers up to 500 hp and 2800 Nm of torque. It’s equipped with I-Shift automated transmissions and braking systems to make driving smoother, safer, and more energy-efficient.

Brake quickly and safely    

The Volvo Engine Brake enhances braking performance at low engine speeds, reducing downshifting and maintaining consistent control. For added braking power, a driveline retarder is recommended, particularly with heavy loads on rolling terrain.

Smooth gear shifting

I-Shift is a range of automated transmissions that help you optimize the performance and efficiency of your powertrain. Choose low and ultra-low crawler gears, tailored software for extreme startability, and one-pedal driving when taking on tough terrain and shifting between forward and reverse.

Reducing emissions

The 13-liter gas-powered engine is already optimized to help deliver fuel efficiency and lower costs. With LNG instead of diesel, you can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 20%. You can also choose renewable bio-LNG when it makes sense and get up to 100% CO2 reduction with bio-LNG using HVO 100.
