What does a
truck of the future
look like?
The future may seem uncertain. Thoughts of fuel costs, legislation and demanding customers can keep a
grown man up at night. We know investing in a new truck is a big thing. Because we just did. And we know
how important it is that its great, not only today, but for many years to come.
Thats why we designed the new Volvo FH with one particular person in mind. One person who, today and
tomorrow, undoubtedly will have a huge impact on the success of any transport operator. The driver.

handling
If you recognise
the driving feel,
its probably
from your car.
Volvo FH has handling characteristics above the ordinary. Weve virtually
designed every part of the truck to contribute to the stable feel and precise
steering. You really have to experience the result for yourself. But if you
want to know why it performs so well, here are the highlights:
Improved front mounting prevents vibrations from spreading through the truck, to
provide an even more comfortable ride.
Easier reversing.
Reversing is also done much easier, because the
steering will keep you on a straight track.

Dont get stuck behind the wheel. The

a whole 24 cm from front to back. Thats
an additional 4 cm compared with the
previous Volvo FH.
A comfortable ride.

i-shift
Just drive.
How it works.
It may seem strange. Beneath the surface of I-Shift, the hallmark of modern transmissions,
hides an old-school unsynchronised manual gearbox. (Hence the compact design and low
internal losses.) But of course theres much more to I-Shift than that. The secret lies in
the intelligent electronic control unit. Its responsible for controlling the pneumatic system
that handles the clutch and shifts. By constantly receiving information about vehicle speed,
acceleration, weight, road grade, torque demand and more, it can carry out every shift with
extreme precision. It also communicates closely with the engine, which in turn adjusts revs
and engine brake effect for fast and comfortable shifting.
15
load handling
Keep a closer
watch on the load.
From afar.
The electronically controlled suspension (ECS) improves driving comfort and helps making sure the cargo travels
safely. ECS4 is the latest version and has brought even more possibilities, with the Work Remote as the most
prominent example. You now have perfect control, regardless of whether youre sitting behind the wheel or walking
around the truck.
Load indicator.
Accurate and easy to overview.
Intuitive menus and displays let you see
exactly how the load is distributed along
the vehicle. Weights, axle loads and bogie
loads are all specified separately, so you
can easily make sure they are within the
limits, on the truck as well as on the trailer.
Calibration is easy too. You can fine-tune
both truck and trailer, for accurate measurements at all times.

Every drop
counts.
Cutting fuel costs and emissions is essential and should be easy. Thats why we have developed a number of
components and services that are designed to save fuel. How the driver handles the truck and how efficiently
the truck is used can make a huge difference in this respect.
Here are some important truck features and services that will enhance your trucks fuel efficiency and help
your drivers to save fuel. Every drops counts.
Intelligent shifting.
Airflow package.
Dynafleet.
Fuel Advice.
The airflow package consists of air deflectors on the roof and sides, as well as chassis skirts and side under-run protection.
The air deflectors have been developed
through comprehensive tests in the wind
tunnel and on the road to ensure the greatest possible fuel savings.
Dynafleet.
Fuel & Environment.
Volvos fleet management system lets you
monitor fuel consumption in real time from
any location, through an intuitive web interface. Analyse trends and find out where
theres room for improvement, guided by
built-in reports on fuel, driver behaviour
and environmental impact.
Driver training.
Efficient Driving.
Skilled drivers have an enormous impact
on fuel-efficiency. Efficient Driving is the
course where we focus on how to drive
smartly and save fuel.

Dynamic headlights.
When driving at night, Volvo FH is a particularly good friend. The headlights produce
a powerful beam, providing you with an

Stretch Brake.
In certain situations, such as turning or driving downhill on a slippery road, the trailer risks
catching up with the truck, creating a hazardous jack-knife effect. The Stretch Brake is a
new Volvo feature, designed to stop that from happening. By pulse braking the trailer, the
vehicle combination is stretched, and the danger reduced. The system can be automatically
activated in risky situations, at speeds up to 50 km/h.

Volvo EBS (Electronically controlled Brake System) disc brakes are available with program packages STD and MED for rigids and tractors. ESP is
available for tractors and rigids with 42, 62 and 64 drive. In this way Volvo can offer ESP on virtually all ADR applications and EMS combinations.
The brake range also includes Volvo Z-cam drum brakes with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System).
