Volvo Tractor Units for Sale (104)

Volvo tractor units have always been extremely popular in the UK – as far back as the F88 in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Today’s trucks are just as popular and even more iconic.  The top of the range Volvo FH tractor units are amongst the most powerful in the world, swapping the title with fellow Swedes Scania. With power outputs of 750hp the top-end, 16-litre FH16 Volvo tractor unit is the one that every driver would want. Hard to justify with maximum gross vehicle weights of 44 tonnes in the UK and a country that is not too hilly. The Globetrotter cab is present on nearly all Volvo Tractor units – at least it is the case for the FH model – there is also a larger cab, the Globetrotter XL for those truck buyers who spend a lot of nights out in their cabs. The range has developed further and now you can also buy used examples of Volvo tractor units with Globetrotter XXL cabs.

The FM tractor unit range uses a smaller cab and is better suited for more local or high payload operations – although a Globetrotter version of the narrower FM is also available.

Latest Developments

January 2024 saw Volvo announce the launch of their revised cabs for their FH tractor unit range as well as upgrades to their FM range of tractor units.

FH Aero Tractor Unit Launch January 2024

The ‘Aero’ cabs use the recently introduced changes to the dimension regulations which allow trucks to be longer assuming the additional length is used for aerodynamic benefit. The new Volvo FH Aero tractor units have a 24cm extension to the front of the cab which, Volvo claim, improves both fuel economy and stability in windy conditions. The new tractor units are available as an FH16 with the enlarged 17-litre engine with a record-breaking 780hp available, the standard, 13-litre Euro 6, Step E engines, gas versions plus gas and electric versions.

Recommendation Prompts Volvo FH Tractor Unit Purchase
