We are excited to announce that Volvo Trucks Australia has officially commenced sales of its revamped heavy-duty range and the CMV Truck & Bus team have all the information you need about these latest innovations.
The new Volvo Euro 6 lineup arrives with a raft of new features, as well as the powerful new D17 engine with a new range of horsepower ratings stretching from 600hp to 780hp.

With a focus on efficiency and driver appeal, the updated Volvo FH16 sees a significant jump in torque. the 600hp variant now offers 3000Nm of torque, while the 700hp offers 3400Nm, the range topping 780hp option delivers a massive 3800Nm making the flagship Volvo FH the most powerful Volvo yet.
Aerodynamic and styling updates have also been added across the range, from the Volvo FM and Volvo FMX to the FH including all electric models. Inside, the range has received styling updates, revised USB ports, a new touchscreen side display and an improved audio system.
The incoming 17.3-litre, Euro 6 powerplant shares the same basic architecture as the 16-litre engine it replaces with the extra capacity resulting from an increase in cylinder bore.

In pursuit of efficiency and cleaner operation, the engine also features a new fuel injection system, low friction cylinder liners as well as wave top pistons to ensure optimised combustion.
Unsurprisingly the engine makes the most of its prodigious power output at relatively low rpm, with a low flat torque curve stretching from 1000 to 1250rpm. The new powerplant meets Euro 6 emissions standards utilizing a combination of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). Forced induction duties are taken care of by a new Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT).
All power ratings are HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) compatible.

“This latest evolution of the Volvo heavy duty range takes our offering to the next level,” says Tom Chapman, Vice President, Volvo trucks Australia. “Our Australian made Euro 6 line up has been delivering class leading efficiency, performance and uptime to Australian transport operators since 2020.”
“Now our hard working 11-litre, our I-Save 500 and our trusted 13-litre 540 are joined by the new D17 engine which I have no doubt will continue to deliver on the legacy created by the rest of the Volvo drivetrain family.”
“These drivetrains complement our journey to fossil-free transport solutions, not only in terms of fuel efficiency, but also in terms of their ability to utilize a variety of alternate fuel options.”
“However, the performance of the D17 engine in the new FH16 will guarantee to impress the person behind the wheel.”
“There’s no doubt that the power and torque on hand from this drivetrain will win fans on Australian highways.”
“Across the entire range these trucks will deliver superior power, economy and uptime for, owners, operators and drivers alike.”
