Volvo Trucks launched the world’s most powerful series-manufactured truck. The Volvo FH16 with 700 hp and 3150 Nm of torque. Volvo Trucks is the first manufacturer in the world to be able to put a 700 hp badge on its vehicles. The truck model in question is the company’s flagship, the Volvo FH16, which to date has had a maximum power output of 660 hp. 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.
With higher power, one might well expect that fuel consumption would head in the same direction, but that is not the case. Volvo Trucks aim is to have both the best performance and the best fuel economy in the segment. The Volvo FH16 is certified for the new Euro 5 European emission requirements that come into force in autumn 2009, which means that emissions of nitrogen oxide have been cut by more than 40 percent. In other words, the Volvo FH16 has become even more powerful but 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.
