... to handle the heaviest and most demanding transport assignments. It will reach the market just in time to celebrate the 16-litre engine’s 25th anniversary.
1987 saw the introduction of the Volvo F16 with Volvo's first-ever 16-litre engine, producing 470 hp. Since then, market needs have driven the development towards increasingly powerful trucks.
"With the Volvo FH16 750 we can offer our customers a truck with absolute top performance, good fuel efficiency and extremely low emissions. It's an uncompromising combination for the heaviest and most demanding of transport operations," says Staffan Jufors, President and CEO of Volvo Trucks.
Performance, fuel efficiency and environment
The new engine is based on the same technology as Volvo Trucks' current 16-litre 700 hp diesel engine - an in-line six with overhead camshaft, four valves per cylinder and unit injectors. It has been optimised for higher power and torque but fuel consumption is unchanged. The 750 engine is available in two versions, one for Euro 5 and the other for EEV (Enhanced Environmentally-friendly Vehicle), giving even lower particle emissions and less smoke.
The Volvo I-Shift automated gearchanging system is fitted as standard and has been modified to handle the engine's high torque. The rear axle range encompasses axles for gross combination weights of up to 250 tonnes. For fast long-haul duties, the recently introduced RS1360 solo axle is a fuel-efficient alternative.
