This Volvo FH16 700 is the king of the highways! Very strong!

US truckers..this is the strongest truckengine at this moment!!!

Even being a Volvo lover, I'm surprised that MAN didn't beat them into having the first most powerful OTR truck. Congratulations Volvo. You are the best. RT

ever driven a powerfull truck like that?. its pure joy letting that engine loose. this is not the heaviest rig, but many wants the power even if they could have managed with a smaller engine.

imagine that you drive this rig...with such a truck, there is no way the driver can meet fatigue. it's just...a dream.

THE BEST TRUCK EVER!!!!! Volvo made a killer with this. AWESOME

thats a beautiful truck.. the dashboard remains the same from the states to Europe.. very nicely laid out

After driving the Volvo FH480 Euro 4 through Europe I can say it's a wonderful drive for sure. This will be dream to drive one day. Kudos to Volvo for this one!

Bring this truck to the USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that has to be one of the sexiest looking trucks ive ever seen

ESSA É A VOLVONA. MINHA PAIXÃO. QUEM SABE ALGUM DIA POSSA TER UMA DESSA, E TRANSPORTAR O PROGRESSO E O DESENVOLVIMENTO PARA TODA A SUDAMÉRICA. THANK YOU ALL ENGENIEERS OF THE VOLVO. WARMS REGARD'S FLÁVIO - SÃO PAULO

In my opinion,it"s the best european truck now

Volvo FH16 with 700 hp and 3150 Nm of torque...IS THE BEST...one only detail: the price...but soo gooood

This truck makes me feel like there is a bugatti in it :D

great footage of it on the move as well.

This is a megatruck!!i love the FH series...nice trucks!

In Norway and Sweden you need all that power! You would understand if you have been driving truck here! We too often see east and south europeean 2 axle trucks with 3-400hp stuck in the winter, or crawling their way slowly over the steep mountains because their way underpowerd for our roads!

Its beautiful. And engine is even more:)

best looking European truck

Que camion hermoso! Ojala entraran camiones con esa potencia al Uruguay

king of the road

amazing,great engineering

3.1 KNm of torque? Damnation, that's probably enough to jump start the planet. :D

Such a beauty!

Joder a si da gusto ir por esas carreteras sin coches...

Awesome truck, thank you for sharing

so quiet inside the cab some tool though i like the way they@ve shaped it at the front very sleek looking.

good looking truck ever

very good the new volvo, powerfull!!

After this video I want to be a truck driver.

im about to drive one of these in about two weeks. :P my class is going to visit volvo in göteborg. :P then were gonna try the newest volvo trucks and cars :P

the best:VOLVO ! nice ,great video

Kiedyś to było

O FH É O SONHO DE TODO MOTORISTA

Cool Truck!

Volvo is the best!!!!!!

VOLVO es el mejor desde siempre, aqui en peru con las carreteras mas agrestes del mundo ,VOLVO sube desde el nivel del mar hasta 5000 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Scania and Mercedez is sensitive machine are not available for off-road routes of peru

Very Impressive!

uma grande maquina para uma carreta dessa. gostei parabéns

there are only two brands of trucks: the old Volvos and new Volvos!

it looks great !!!

@n33dyr1 totally agree... some of the ones made for new zealand have three drive axels on prime movers...

it is a real beauty

What fuel consumption r u getting with full load? Do you think 6x2 gives better fuel than 6x4 whilst still being as safe?

I must drive it!!

best truck ever

Yea, I understood :) Thank you

What amazes me in Europe they have single axles. How much weight are you carrying? Over here its 80,000 pounds max, any more requires a permit. And that much power to a single axle too, wow.

que buen camion!!

That's not bad. 700 Hp and 3150 Nm of Torque! Wow. As far as I recall it's a 16 litre straight six.. ?

@n33dyr1 here in europe we have many uphills...horses are for the uphill purpose!

us truckers turnup their engines for years 800-900hp not a problem for them i bet these volvo will be preaty popular in scandinavia cos' sweds want to introduce 90t rigs

MARAVILHOSA....MEU SONHO!!! AGRADEÇO AOS ENGENHEIROS DA VOLVO. FLAVIO - TOURWAY SÃO PAULO - BR

Very beautiful

Beast

I'm getting my license to drive heavy trucks next year, if everything goes as plan, and I just HAVE to drive an FH16 at some point during my career.

Är inte det vid nya motorvägen till borås? typ rångedalabron?

Excellent!!!

6기통 16000cc 인터쿨터 터보 700마력 국내도있을걸요.벤츠도V8 16000cc 700있었는데 판매중단으로 알고있어요.힘은좋고 기름 많이 먹으니 현재는 12000cc급 560마력정도데 만.볼보.이베고.등등

迫力感じる。一つ上だね。

@MrTrucknugget Thats taken from the old saying for ford, "Old Fords Never Die, They Just Gets Faster"

@getous well thats cool mabey you should do some videos of ur trucking career

awesome! nice! look like cadillac!

it is amazing.

wonderful.....very good

@jyrgenklinsmann Gonna sound daft but why is a standard FH not allowed on the road ?

volvo power!!!

@getous alrigth well take care and let me know how ur trucking career goes and of course be safe

I met a companyowner from Holland yesterday in Oslo. He told me he had ordered the new R740. Nice.. The one he drove now was a tuned uped R620 with 850hp. 3500nm.. The thing about Scania is that they measure their hp on the rear axle and Volvo in the transmission. So Volvo doesn´t count the loss between the transmission and axle. So Scanias R620 is stronger than Volvo 660

che stupenda macchina

@cas1029... Here is the states our standard trucks wouldnt need that much HP, only trucks here that would need it is Heavy Haulers & our Turnpike guys.

Belle bête !!!

Actually alot of people that simply dont drive trucks but have an interest in them see volvo trucks as inferior in one way or another to say, a peterbilt or a western star. This is flaed logic. Ask ANY truckie, and they will put their pay down to tell you that Volvo trucks are the most quiet and smooth trucks going round. They really are the luxury end of the market in trucking. And Horspower? Just look up what the FH16 can do. It can probably move your little village in under a week.

@woolrocks what about torque?

@bykashka75 It is best to load the truck so the load is balanced between all the wheels, that way you reduce the rolling resistance slightly. Also, getting it low in the trailer is good too, gives better balance in corners, such as on and off ramps from highways. Mind you, if it's snowy, getting a bit of extra weight up towards the pulling wheels can be an advantage for traction. Most forklift drivers usually know about this when they load trucks.

the only reason Volvo gets so high torque numbers is only because they don't bother making V8 engines, the I6 is a much better option when making an engine manly used to tow heavy things, because you get more displacement per cylinder, longer stroke and therefor more torque, it's the beauty of the simplicity Volvo are leading :)

U need more than 500HP in Australia for all the b-doubles and road trains :P

@n33dyr1 6x2 is for very heavy loads like bulldozers or cement blocks......with 4x2 you save diesel and it drives easier than a 6x2 tractor!

We just had the volvo fh16 720hp in so we cut see it. And it is still a straight 6.

Volvo Still A Volvo .. not like other companies :)

what's the engine limit resourses? how many kilometers can the truck go? like 2-3million kilometers?

yes...but there will be always people that want a unique car/truck with prestige and power, not that what everyone gets...

I'm still waiting to see what Scania is gonna come up with as an response to the FH 750 ;)

@bykashka75 No, putting all the weight on just the trucks wheels, or the trailers wheels, is not as efficient as distributing the load over both sets of wheels. The less you compress the tire, the smalle the contact patch will be, and thus the less the rolling resistance as well. You also heat the wheels up a bit less, and wear them more evenly. There is a small fuel saving too, but it's not big. The biggest advantage, is stability. Particularly onbendy roads. Low gravity is good !

well, I think the Volvo has 12 speed and they come in 4x2, 4x4, 6x2, 6x4 and 6x6 so it would do well, at lest they do well here in Iceland and we have a lot of mountains and more slippery roads than you do in Canada because we don't get the same cold (I know it sounds stupid but ice is far more slippery at freezing point than -20°C)

I hate cab overs but that is one good lookin truck.

do you not have mountains in Sweden? if you do not come in Greece so much horse power is testing to hills

700 HP!!!

Да делали когда-то крутые агрегаты

Volvo Trucks and Volvo Cars isn't the same outfit

mervellous

мечта....

the 2nd strongest truck!

yes super!... from intercombi...

scania rated to 620hp actually,and possible 720 hp motor on the way..still love the volvo though.

@teamakita you dont need that power in low gears...you need it uphill for constant speed

im not too sure about any of the newer ones, can only get them in america under special order, but mid 90s the hump encroaches all the way into the sleeper, and only seen very few cab overs with even a decent sized sleeper, none the less an OTR Sleeper. I also dont even think scanias are availavle in america, I have never seen not even 1 scania outside of the internet.

que maquina legal. gostaria de ganhar uma de presente.

who needs more than 460hp except heavy duty transports... for standart transports its wasted money and diesel if i had the money, i would buy one anyway, love that volvo :P

U can drive volvos i-shift manually to. only the first gears i think
