New versions of the Volvo FH and Volvo FH16 coming soon

According to their latest press release, Volvo Trucks will launch new versions of the best-selling Volvo FH and the Volvo FH16 on September 5th. The Volvo FH is being described as more like a car than a truck due to structural improvements giving the new Volvo FH series a stable and flexible design. The new FH series comes with a new Independent Front Suspension (IFS) system for left-hand drive heavy trucks, which means that each front wheel is suspended separately from the other and since both front wheels move independently, the result is gentler, smoother progress on the road.

“For almost two decades, the Volvo FH Series has provided haulage companies with safety, efficient transport and high quality. Now, with our new replacements, we are going to be even better in all three areas," says Claes Nilsson, President Volvo Truck Corporation. He summarises the new series as, “A truck that will carry us far into the future.”

Pictures of the trucks have not been released ahead of the launch date. The official launch of the Volvo FH Series is reported to be held on September 5th at 9pm CET in Gothenburg, Sweden. Volvo will broadcast the event live on their website. Volvo also says additional events running alongside this debut are going to be held in Madrid, Birmingham, Paris, Rotterdam and Brussels.
