Volvo Launches the Most Powerful Truck in the World

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

Volvo Trucks is launching Volvo FH16 with 700 hp and 3150 Nm of torque, the world's most powerful series-manufactured truck.

The company is the first manufacturer to be able to put a 700 hp badge on its vehicles, which is intended for the very heaviest and most demanding of transport operations.

The Volvo FH16 is certified for the new Euro 5 European emission requirements that come into force in autumn 2009, meaning that emissions of nitrogen oxide have been cut by more than 40 percent and that the Volvo FH16 has become even more powerful without compromising on the environment.

 

In addition to the 700 hp version the Volvo FH16 is also available in variants producing 540 and 600 hp respectively.

“The Volvo FH16 is intended for the very heaviest and most demanding of transport operations. It is also a highly prestigious truck for the customer who is looking for something truly out of the ordinary. And with 700 hp, the Volvo FH16 sets itself apart from everything else in the industry,” says Staffan Jufors, President and CEO of Volvo Trucks.
