Volvo FH is a whole family of heavy-duty trucks from the world-famous Volvo company. The production of these trucks began in 1993 and continues today. The model replaced the Volvo F10 / F12.
The presentation of the truck took place in 1993, and the manufacturer spent a huge amount of money on its development (about 7 billion Swedish kronor).
The Volvo FH12 truck has a six-cylinder twenty-four valve D12A diesel engine under the hood. And the FH16 model is equipped with a D16A engine with a high pressure fuel pump., Electronic control on each cylinder and a compressor retarder.
As for the cab, it was offered in three lengths, one of which is Globetrotter L2H2, which is equipped with two berths inside and has a height of 1950mm.
Two years later, the even more comfortable Globetrotter XL cab was introduced. The internal height is now 2100mm.
In 1999, 6 years after the appearance of the first car, an updated version was presented to the world. First of all, the changes affected the appearance and the engine. Now the Volvo FH has been fitted with the new D12C engine. The transmission was also updated. The trucks received a 14-speed manual gearbox. And three years later, they carried out another restyling.
