Power system:
Engines: The FH series is typically powered by Volvo's
high-performance diesel engines, available in a variety of
displacement and power options. For example, the D13 engine was
launched with a displacement of 13 liters and a wide range of power
coverage, with different versions ranging from 420 horsepower to
540 horsepower. The newly released FH Aero series in 2024 also
carries the new D17 series diesel engine, which has a displacement
of 17.3 liters and has 600 horsepower and 3,000 nm; 700 horsepower,
3,400 nm; 780 horsepower, 3,800 nm and other three horsepower
segments, recaptured the throne of the "King of Okamari". These
engines have advanced technology, precise and efficient fuel
injection systems, powerful power output and good fuel economy.
Gearbox: Matching Volvo's own I-Shift series gearbox, there are
normal versions, dual-clutch versions, crawling versions and other
options. The gear shift of the transmission is smooth and
responsive, and it can automatically select the appropriate gear
according to the driving state of the vehicle, and has the
functions of ultra-low speed crawling gear and multiple reverse
gear, which is convenient for the operation of the vehicle under
various working conditions. The upgrade of the electronic control
section also allows the overall shift speed of the gearbox to be
faster, ensuring that the engine is always in the optimal economic
speed range.
Chassis and suspension:
Drive form: The FH series offers a variety of drive forms,
including 4x2, 6x2, 6x4, etc., to meet different transportation
needs and road conditions. For example, the 6x4 drive form has
stronger traction and carrying capacity, which is suitable for
heavy long-distance transportation; The 4x2 drive form is better
suited to transport tasks that seek fuel economy in good road
conditions.
Suspension system: The front axle suspension generally adopts leaf
spring or less leaf spring suspension to ensure the carrying
capacity and driving stability of the vehicle. Some models of the
rear axle suspension are equipped with air suspension, which can
automatically adjust the height according to the load condition,
while improving the vehicle's passability, reducing the vibration
and turbulence during the vehicle's driving, improving comfort, and
also playing a better role in protecting the cargo.
Cab:
Space layout: The interior of the cab is spacious and offers a
variety of cab specifications, such as Globetrotter, Globetrotter
XL, Globetrotter XXL, etc. The cab design with high or ultra-high
roof provides sufficient head space for the driver, and the flat
floor design facilitates the driver to move freely in the cab.
Comfort configuration: The seat adopts airbag shock absorber seat,
which can be adjusted in multiple directions, including seat
height, Angle, waist support, etc., which can effectively reduce
the driver's fatigue. The cab is equipped with automatic air
conditioning, car audio, Bluetooth phone and other comfort
configurations, and some high-equipped models also integrate
microwave ovens, high-power inverters, high-quality sound systems
and optional subwoofer, providing a comfortable driving environment
for drivers. The sleeping berth is spacious and comfortable, and
the Globetrotter XXL cab sleeper can be up to 91 cm wide, which is
convenient for the driver to rest during long drives.
Safety configuration: Equipped with a series of advanced safety
systems, such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist,
emergency brake assist, blind spot monitoring, vehicle stability
control, anti-collision warning, anti-lane departure, etc., to
provide drivers with a full range of safety protection.
Appearance design:
The appearance of the FH series is highly recognizable, and the
front face adopts the Volvo family design style, and the iconic air
intake grille and V-shaped headlights show the unique charm of the
brand. The body lines are smooth and the shape is tough. Some
models such as FH Aero series have been optimized in terms of
aerodynamics. By reducing the size of the front grille, increasing
the side skirt, lengthening the baffle and other designs, the wind
resistance is reduced, the fuel economy is improved, and the
driving stability is also improved.
Electronic system:
With advanced electronic control systems, such as the dual-core
engine ECU, its computing power is powerful, the driver's intention
is clearer to understand, with self-learning function, can more
accurately adjust the engine fuel injection according to the
vehicle attitude, throttle opening and road conditions, not only
faster in the power response, but also improve the engine
combustion efficiency.
Equipped with an electronic rearview mirror system, the mirror arm
can be folded to reduce the external probe, reduce wind resistance
and eliminate wind noise, and the camera can automatically heat in
cold environments, remove fog and moisture, and activate the
infrared function at night or in dim environments, providing better
field of view and visibility.
