Volvo FH

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Volvo FH is a heavy-duty truck series built by Swedish manufacturer Volvo Trucks, introduced in 1993 as the company's flagship model for long-haul and heavy transport work and produced across several generations with progressively updated cab designs, engines and safety technology. Widely used across Europe and exported globally, it became one of the best-selling heavy trucks in its class and a showcase for Volvo's safety-focused engineering, including some of the earliest production applications of advanced driver-assistance systems in a heavy commercial vehicle.
