Volvo Trucks’ new generation of heavy-duty trucks – the Volvo FH, FH16, FM and FMX – are now entering serial production in Volvo’s manufacturing plants in Sweden, Belgium and Russia.

The Volvo FM and FMX trucks have a completely new cab with raised A-pillars that give drivers up to one extra cubic metre of space and increased light inside the cab. The driver’s visibility can also be improved further on all the new models by adding a passenger corner camera which provides a more complete view, covering the side of the truck, on an inside display.

Roger Alm, President of Volvo Trucks said, “We are very excited that our new generation of trucks will soon be reaching our valued customers. All four truck models have been developed with a strong focus on improving the driver environment, safety and productivity of the vehicles, making them more efficient than their predecessors.”

Other important updates are the new driver interface and the optional adaptive high beam headlights for increased safety on the Volvo FH and FH16. The new Volvo FH and FM can also be tailored to enable significant fuel and CO₂ savings, such as those gained on the Volvo FH with I-Save technology.

The FH, FM and FMX models have also been developed to accommodate electrified drivelines with production due to start next year.
