product guide euro 35

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.

i-see*

Now every road is worth

remembering.
Lower fuel consumption by 5%.
Just activate the cruise control.

Wherever you are,


you can get help from the cloud.

Combine I-Shift and the GPS with an


intelligent cruise control, and you get
I-See. Its a unique system that learns the
topography of the road and stores it in a
central database. When youre driving, it
automatically uses its knowledge to save
fuel up to 5% during a driving cycle
(when I-Cruise is engaged the whole time).

I-See doesnt rely on maps. Since reality


tends to be more accurate, it memorises
the actual slopes instead. And now you
dont have to have travelled the route
before to save fuel. The new version of
I-See stores all hills in a database free for
all other trucks to use. As long as someone has travelled the route before, I-See
can download the data and start saving
fuel immediately. So you might even save
some on your very first trip in your new
Volvo FH.

on the crests:
staying calm.

When approaching a downhill, I-See keeps the


truck from accelerating unnecessarily.

before the uphills:


taking off.

on the uphills:
keeping from downshifting.

When I-See knows an uphill is coming, it lets


the speed increase, approaching the upper
speed limit, to gain momentum. The truck can
stay longer in a higher gear.

When climbing, I-See uses its stored knowledge


to avoid unnecessary downshifts towards the
top. You approach the crest smoothly without
wasting fuel in a lower gear.

* Available for Euro 5.

before the downhill:


rolling on.

Just before the slope, the driveline temporarily


disengages, allowing the truck to roll. This saves
energy, and minimises the need for braking.

on the downhills:
braking in time.

in the hollows:
some extra schwung.

i-cruise

I-See knows when the slope ends. Thus, when


gaining speed downhill, it can apply the engine
brake gently in time instead of abruptly at the
end to prepare for the upcoming topography.

When a downhill is followed by an immediate


uphill, I-See really comes into its own. It lets
the truck roll, gaining speed and momentum
to climb uphill with less effort.

One part of I-See is called I-Cruise. Its the


intelligent cruise control that adjusts the speed
for minimum fuel consumption. You can order it
separately, and save up to 2% fuel.

I-See and I-Cruise are also available as accessories. See page 50.

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:

Volvo Dynamic Steering.


It will revolutionise the way you drive.
This is a ground-breaking invention making driving more
relaxed and safe. We have fitted an electrical motor to
the steering gear. The motor is controlled 2000 times
every second via the trucks electronic control units and
produces torque overlay. It provides power when needed,
obtaining a predetermined steering feel, independent of
load and tyres. Its almost like driving a car.

Perfect stability at high speeds.


The steering cancels out disturbances and swallows
potholes on the road.

Total control at low speeds.


Up to 85% additional power simplifies steering and
contributes to reduced strain on your muscles.

Less sensitive to crosswinds.


The steering reduces the disturbance caused by
crosswinds, which makes driving more comfortable.

Stable on banked roads


Volvo Dynamic Steering improves course stability
when driving on banked roads.

The rear suspension stabiliser bar.

The engine suspension.

The rear cab suspension.

New Volvo-patented design with stabilisers


in front of the axle eliminates rear-chassis
torsion. This provides a very stable course
and therefore comfortable, safe and rapid
ride. The re-designed stabiliser bar also
makes it possible to specify the truck with
short rear overhang, a benefit for construction applications.

Improved front mounting prevents vibrations from spreading through the truck, to
provide an even more comfortable ride.

The cab must be softly sprung in order to


be comfortable to ride in. But it must not
lurch because this would result in gravity
shifting of the vehicle, which would affect
the handling characteristics adversely. We
solved it with a sophisticated suspension.
Vertical springs with increased spread
promote stability and driving comfort.

The front suspension.


Enhanced geometry on both leaf and air
front suspensions. Here is one of the major
reasons why the truck behaves very stable
and safe on the road. Take a drive yourself
and feel the comfort.

Easier reversing.
Reversing is also done much easier, because the
steering will keep you on a straight track.

i-shift

Forget the gearbox.

Just drive.

Eases your mind.


And lets your left foot rest.

Let I-Shift save you fuel.


The money will roll right in.

Remember your route?


I-See does too*.

Driving I-Shift is a real pleasure. Without


the clutch pedal, you can safely sit back
and concentrate on the other two. I-Shift
uses its built-in intelligence to quickly and
automatically choose the right gear at all
times. And the software provides shifting
skills that are impossible for even the best
of drivers to match. Still, if you want to get
more involved, you can. The buttons on
the shift selector allows you to step in and
shift gear manually.

I-Shift is designed to save fuel. First of


all, the internal energy losses are low
actually lower than on manual gearboxes.
But its the electronics that really make
the difference. When driving in Economy
mode, every gearchange is timed precisely,
to let the engine work at its most efficient
rpm range. And then theres I-Roll. Its a
unique feature used when driving downhill,
automatically disengaging the engine to
make use of the trucks momentum instead
of fuel. The result? Up to 2% lower fuel
consumption.

I-See literally takes the intelligence of


I-Shift one step further. Its a groundbreaking software feature that stores all hills
in a database free for all other trucks to
use. As long as someone has travelled the
route before, I-See can download the data
and your truck can start using them. This
way, I-Shift can not only choose the best
gear at the time, but also prepare for the
upcoming topography. Its like having an
experienced co-pilot, who knows every
bit of the road by rote. I-See saves up to
an additional 5% fuel (when I-Cruise is
engaged the whole time). Learn more
about I-See on page 6.

How would you like your I-Shift?


The software makes it possible to tailor I-Shift to your
driving conditions. Choose from four add-on packages:
Long Haul & Fuel Economy (with or without I-See*) for
efficient highway driving, Distribution & Construction
with smart functions for close-quarter manoeuvring
and Heavy Duty Transport optimising I-Shift for gross
combination weights above 85 tonnes. For a complete
overview, see page 40.

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.

Also available as an accessory. See page 50. * Available for Euro 5.

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.

Balance it all with your fingertips.

Control your equipment.

Turn the lights on.

Cut the wire. With the Work Remote in your


hand, you can control the air suspension
manually while walking around freely.

Start and stop the engine and up to four


PTOs. You can also adjust engine speed,
and store the rpm setting for quick access.

Do you have work lights, beacons or specific


lights from the bodybuilder? Use the Work
Remote to switch them on or off.

5 levels for loading.


3 for driving.
All at your command.

Add functions from the


bodybuilder.

Use it as a door key.

ECS includes four bellows per axle (two


for pusher axles), providing a virtually
parallel lift of the chassis. You can easily
set the height you prefer. The system lets
you store five different docking heights,
something that comes in handy when you
arrive at a familiar loading bay ramp. You
can also choose from three customisable
driving levels, to optimise ground clearance
or aerodynamics.

Keeping the chassis steady.


And the load in place.
ECS steadily keeps the chassis level,
regardless of how the cargo is distributed.
It prevents sideway rolling, making sure
the truck is always in balance. The Work
Remote also allows you to manually compensate for side kneeling.

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.

Depending on superstructure, you can


control several other functions. All are
easily accessible through the menus, and
can have the same icons as the buttons
on the dashboard.

Yes, it is a bit bigger than the regular key


fob, but still. Its quite convenient to be able
to lock and unlock the cab doors without
putting down the remote.

Integrated tail lift controls.


No need to carry around two remote controls. The upgraded Work Remote allows
you to conveniently raise and lower the
tail lift.

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.

Fuel Advice.

I-Shift Volvos automated gearchanging


system has set a new standard when it
comes to comfort and fuel economy. Its
as convenient as an automatic transmission
and as close-ratio as a manual gearbox.

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.

Volvos diesel engines deliver immense


pulling power. With higher torque it is possible without raising engine revs to fit
faster rear axle ratios, which helps lower
fuel consumption.

Precision. Thats what Volvo Trucks fleet


management system Dynafleet is all about.
At any given time you can see the exact
location and status of your trucks and drivers.
But even better, this information also shows
you precisely what areas to improve in order

The gap.
A huge visibility improvement.

Ultra-slim housing.
For safety.

Upright A-pillars with a slim cross-section


and newly-designed mirrors this has done
wonders for the visibility from inside the
Volvo FH cabs. The gap is up to 25% larger
on the driver side, and up to a massive 85%
larger on the passenger side. Invaluable,
not least in city traffic, allowing you to spot
other road users, such as pedestrians and
cyclists.

The new FH mirrors have slimmer housing


than ever before. That means they not only
help you see better backwards, they also
reveal more when you look ahead. On the
driver side, the area of vision has been
improved by over 20%. On the passenger
side, by over 10%. As a bonus, the design
also helps improve aerodynamics and is
less sensitive to soiling.

Electrically controlled
and heated.

Exterior vision cameras.


When theres more to see.

Lane Changing Support.


Goodbye blind spot.

No need to scrape frost or moisture off


the mirrors. The heated mirrors take care
of that for you. And since all rear-view
mirrors are electrically controlled, you can
adjust them precisely without leaving the
cab. Just as convenient as it should be.

There are certain angles no mirror in the


world can reach. Fortunately, Volvo FH
is factory-prepared for fitting up to four
exterior cameras, wherever you need them.
Connected to the integrated secondary
information display (SID-High), they provide
a handy way to take a glance backwards,
for example when reversing or checking
the load.

Just beside the rear-view mirrors on the


passenger side is a small but significant
icon. When lit up, it indicates that Lane
Changing Support has spotted something
in the blind spot area, and you should
refrain from changing lane until its clear.
Indeed a life-saving safety feature. Read
more about all our driver support systems
on page 33.

a powerful beam, providing you with an
early view on what happens down the road.
And, just as important, other road users
will see you stand out in the dark.

Never before seen on a truck. With dynamic


headlights, the dipped beam can pan to
follow the road. Whenever you make a
curve, so do the lights. On many stretches,
this leads to a massively increased field of
vision.

When you slow down to turn a corner in


the dark, the enhanced static cornering
lights come to your assistance. As soon as
you activate the turn signal, the immediate
area on the side lights up, helping you spot
unprotected road users.

Bi-Xenon.

Approach light.

Equip the headlamps with Bi-Xenon to


experience a new level of brightness. They
also offer longer service life compared with
regular halogen lamps.

When approaching the truck at night, just


push the button on the remote key fob. The
interior and exterior light up, letting you
easily find and safely enter your truck.

Room for fog lights, along


with static cornering lights
or extra spotlights.

Keeping an extra eye

on the road.

Adaptive Cruise Control


and Collision Warning with
Emergengy Brake.
Follow the traffic rhythm without effort.
The radar-based Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) keeps a safe distance to the vehicle
in front by controlling the accelerator and
all available brakes. If theres a risk of
collision, warning lights are projected on
the windscreen.
The Emergency Brake takes this one
step further. It automatically assists you
in emergency braking if an impact is imminent, thus significantly reducing the risk
of severe injuries.

Lane Keeping Support.

Emergency brake light.

Drifting off lane is a common cause of


serious accidents. Too common, we think.
Lane Keeping Support tracks the road
markings with a camera, and alerts you
if you should unintentionally cross them.

If you slam on the brakes, the brake lights


flash rapidly to alert the vehicles behind
you. An easy way of avoiding rear-end
collisions, which can be major and lead to
major pile-ups and cause fatal injuries.

Stretch Brake.

Driver Alert Support.

Lane Changing Support.

Electronic Stability Program.

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.

Driver Alert Support is an intelligent system


that tracks your driving behaviour. If it differs
from normal and indicates tiredness, you
are alerted by a signal and a message in
the display, advising you to take a break.

The blind-spot area on the passenger side


can easily hide other road users. Lane
Changing Support is equipped with a radar
that checks that area when you activate the
turn signal. If the areas not clear, you are
notified by a sound and a flashing icon by
the mirror.

Volvos Electronic Stability Program (ESP)


efficiently reduces the risk of skidding and
rollovers. In risky situations it instantly steps
in, reducing engine power and braking the
truck and trailer. Each wheel of the truck
is braked individually. ESP is now available
for most truck specifications, both tractors
and rigids.

Also available as an accessory. See page 50.

Tailoring your Volvo FH.


No single truck fits all. Thats why the Volvo FH provides endless possibilities. The flexible chassis layout and VBI
(Volvo Bodybuilder Instructions) make it easy to prepare the truck for a superstructure. And the driveline, cabs and
equipment packages provide you with even more options. So welcome to a world of choices. A world where your
dealer happily will guide you in finding the perfect truck for your needs and wants.

short rear end

It is moved forward 300 mm compared


with previous design. On tractors this offers
100120 litres more fuel capacity.

The chassis packaging can be moved


rearwards to create space for crane legs or
other equipment. (FAA10; approx. 500 mm),
(FAA20; approx. 600 mm).

The rear overhang can be shorter thanks to


a redesigned forward-mounted stabiliser bar.
This is a benefit for construction applications
and improves the asphalt-layer interface and
swapbody applications.

Battery box (BBOX-EF)

Placed in the rear between the chassis


frames is an option on tractors.
AdBlue tank*

On tractors the AdBlue tank can be mounted


on top of frame, behind the cab, offering more
fuel capacity (ADTP-BC).

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).

In addition to the features of the EBS Standard


package, see below.

Automatic Parking Brake Release

ESP (Electronic Stability Program)

The parking brake is released when the driver


pushes the accelerator pedal and a gear is
selected (only I-Shift gearbox).

The brake stability system applies the brakes


individually on each wheel, thereby providing
stability for the entire vehicle combination and
counteracting jack-knifing, rollover and trailer
swing. ESP fulfils the legislation of Electronic
Vehicle Stability Control.

EBS Status Control

EBS status monitoring via the TEA2+ vehicle


electronic system and Volvo Tech Tool.

additional options

In addition to the programme packages there


are the following options:

Hill Start Aid

The brakes are only released once there is


sufficient engine torque to propel the vehicle
forward.
Lining Wear Analysis

Emergency Brake Light

Enables the driver to request puls braking


of the trailer. The brake is then automatically
activated and the risk of jack-knifing is minimised. Only for rigid.

power steering pump and oil cooler.
I-Shift

Type

Basic Shift Strategy

Automatic selection of the right starting ratio


(1st 6th gear). The choice of starting gear is
influenced by gross weight and road gradient.

Launch Control

additional options

Optimises gear selection and EBS functions


for manoeuvring at low speeds. Among other
things, ensures that the Hill Start Aid function
is only activated on uphill gradients.

Several functions that make power take-off


use easier.

Gives faster and gentler changes through


intelligent utilisation of the engine brake, the
vehicles clutch and a special transmission
brake.

Automatic engagement and disengagement


of a freewheel function for the purpose of reducing fuel consumption. I-Roll is used when
neither engine power nor engine braking is
needed, for instance on flat roads.

Basic Gear Selection Adjustment

Smart Cruise Control

Makes it possible to adjust gear selection via


the gear levers buttons during engine braking
in automatic mode.

Interacts with the vehicles Brake Cruise and


ensures that the auxiliary brakes are not activated unnecessarily. The free-wheel function
can thus be utilised to an even greater extent.

I-Shift software packages


Basic

Supplied as standard with I-Shift and gives


the gearbox its basic functions.

functions that aid the driver when starting and
in close-quarter manoeuvring.

Adds I-See, including I-Cruise, to the Long


Haul & Fuel Economy package, for even
larger fuel savings.
Heavy Duty Transport

Long Haul & Fuel Economy

I-Shift software packages

Enhanced PTO Functions

By interacting with EBS and ECS, starting


and close-quarter manoeuvring are made
easier. Maximises the VEB braking effect
by automatically selecting the right gear so
that the engine operates at high revs. When
changing gear during engine braking, the
wheel brakes are activated to compensate
for loss of braking torque.

I-See*

A smart I-Shift software that can store


topography data and use this information to
optimise driving when the truck travels the
same stretch of road a second time. I-See can
be used for saving fuel and improving driving
comfort. When ordering I-See the cruise
control I-Cruise is also included. I-Cruise can
also be ordered seperately.
Heavy Duty GCW control

Optimises gear selection for high gross combination weights, 85180 tonnes, for certain

i-parkcool

Centre front drawer, high

I-ParkCool produces cool air at standstill and


can interact with the cab parking heater to
generate a comfortable climate, for example
during nights when the temperature often
goes from hot to cold in a few hours.
The system checks the battery health to ensure the startability of the truck. It calculates
how much cooling power is needed in order to
air-condition the cabin. If the batteries arent
fully charged, the system will calculate how
much it can be used (without jeopardising the
startability). This way, it provides a nice and
steady cooling performance during the whole
night.
The system is roughly 20 dB more silent than
competing systems in the market, further
improving sleeping quality.
The climate system is fully integrated in the
vehicles normal air ventilation system* and hot
or cold air respectively is distributed through
the ordinary vents comfortably and equally divided. Cab aerodynamics and standing height
inside the cab are not affected.
* Except the cab heater (PH-CAB).
