Volvo FE Trucks for Sale (21)
Not hugely popular in the UK, there are nonetheless always a good choice of used Volvo FE trucks for sale on these pages. The FE sits in the 18 to 26 tonne weight range and is usually sold as a rigid truck in the UK – although there is an option for an urban tractor unit version. Many used examples of the FE have been configured for municipal operation – refuse trucks and gritters, for example. In the used truck market of the UK, the FE tends to find itself used as a dustcart and, although there is a low entry cab available, it is often not used on dustcart operation.

The FE Engines
The FE uses Volvo’s D8K engine with a choice of four power outputs, 250, 280, 320 and 350 horsepower. Earlier models (pre-Euro 6 in 2013) were available with 240, 260, 300 and 340hp.
The FE Cabs
There are three cabs available – a day cab, a short sleeper cab and the full sleeper cab. All cabs are the same height and width (1.6m high and 2.3m wide) but the length changes with the short sleeper just 40cm longer than the day cab – better for storing things than sleeping in – and the full sleeper a full two feet longer than the day cab.
There is also a low-entry version of the FE cab suitable for refuse operation and airport duties.
