Volvo Trucks - The story behind the Volvo FH (Volvo FH 25 years)
The Volvo FH is an enormous success. And the innovations that benefit drivers, owners, safety and business keep changing the game. “You have to nourish a culture that enables people to explore new ideas. And a structure that implements the ideas that creates value for customers,” says Staffan Rödjedal, Product Manager FH at Group Trucks Technology.
In 1993, Volvo Trucks introduced the world to the most the advanced truck yet: the Volvo FH.
With features like the D12A engine and Volvo Engine Brake, the technical specs impressed. But maybe even more impressive was the focus on the driver. The Volvo FH was – and continues to be – a driver’s dream. The new cabin acknowledged the situation for drivers. The truck is a workplace not only when driving, but also when resting or sleeping. Through extensive testing with more than 1,500 drivers and truck users, Volvo Trucks was able to construct a new cabin from the bottom up that created a whole new experience.
“We put the driver at the centre stage. And we still do,” says Mats Karlsson Lindh, Director Product Planning at Group Trucks Technology.
Today, the Volvo FH continues to advance the trucking experience. With features like the unique Volvo Dynamic Steering, that perfects the steering control and reduces driver strain injuries at the same time, Volvo Trucks keeps driving the progress forward.
The story behind the Volvo FH started in the mid 1980s. Volvo Trucks had a broad range of trucks for many markets, but there was a need for an improved process and common product program platform. With the FH, Volvo Trucks created a blueprint for future innovations. One of the key breakthroughs in the development was the new chassis. The dynamic design gave the engineers a common ground to keep developing and create features custom-fitted for every need.
