SPACE AND COMFORT FOR DRIVING AND LIVING


A CELEBRATION OF TRUCK DRIVERS
Every component and every conceivable space has been meticulously designed to make you more comfortable – whether you’re behind the wheel, resting or sound asleep in the bunk.

A SPACIOUS CAB
The upright A-pillars, low engine tunnel and high roof makes for a really spacious cab. And it is – even for tall drivers, the standing height is a whopping 220 centimetres.

LOADS OF ROOM FOR YOUR STUFF
You can bring a lot in this cab. The spacious front, under-bunk, rear and exterior storage can be tailored to your exact needs. And there are plenty of clever compartments for smaller items, too.

A BIGGER HOME ON THE ROAD
Are you looking for more space and comfort? Discover the extended Globetrotter XXL cab with a bed that’s 250 mm wider and 130 mm longer than in the Globetrotter XL. Home away from home doesn’t get more comfortable than this.

WIDE AND COMFORTABLE BED
The lower bunk offers a comfortable rest with up to 1065 mm width (Globetrotter XXL cab). You can even choose a manual or electrically controlled bunk that inclines to 55 degrees – perfect when resting, reading or watching TV.

CLEVER AND COMFORTABLE STEERING
The fully adjustable steering wheel, which comes with a 20-degree necktilt function, makes driving more comfortable. Conveniently controlled by a foot pedal, you can also move it out the way when you enter or exit the cab.

The seat adjustment range is world class. You can move it 24 centimetres from front to back and 10 centimetres up or down. The shape also gives superior lateral support and provides improved support for those with longer legs.

ECC WITH AIR-QUALITY SENSORS
The electronic climate control has improved air vents and a multitude of sensors and filters that purify the air before it fills your lungs. The result is unprecedented air quality, improved defrosting and a draft-free environment.

INTERIOR FEATURES


A sheltering cab
The FH16 can be delivered with an improved insulation of the cab. It means an even more comfortable cab climate when resting even if it’s chilly outside. Or hot.

Energy-efficient lighting
Thirteen energy-efficient and powerful light sources illuminate the cab. Lighting is easily controlled, either with three pre-set options or with the dimmer. When you’re driving in the dark, you can even switch to red lights to enhance your night vision.

Sleeper panel
The advanced sleeper panel lets you control the interior lights, alarm clock, parking heater, parking cooler, audio system, windows, roof hatch and locks. Without ever leaving the bunk.

TV ready
Your Volvo FH16 can be factory-prepared with everything you need to plug and play a 19” TV – which you can connect through the cab’s fantastic audio system.

It’s more than a key
Lock or unlock the cab from a distance or use it as a main switch to reduce the electrical power consumption. Turn on the lights so you can approach safely. And if you feel threatened, push the panic button to blast the horn.

DESIGNING THE VOLVO FH16

BOLD. CONFIDENT. ASSERTIVE


Our aim was to create a solid, flowing shape, instead of a front and two sides. This is why the lines and graphics sweep around the whole cab.

The truck’s stance, its visual attitude, was a key consideration, too. The form expresses the truck’s efficiency and dynamics. It appears to lean forward, wheels pressing at the ground. It’s bold. Assertive. It’s ready to work.

SLIMMER SIDE MIRRORS


The side mirrors add to the cab’s distinctive profile. Mounted further away from the upright A-pillar on a slender arm, the new design increases the driver’s field of vision and improves the truck’s aerodynamics.

PRECISION FIT. PERFECT FINISH


The cab is big, but its aero-led design means it has a low air resistance. The precision fit of the panel joints means there’s no gap between the lower and upper cab. Air flows around the cab instead of through it – enhancing aerodynamic performance and reducing fuel consumption.

WHAT MAKES THE VOLVO FH16 SAFE?

SAFETY FEATURES


Adaptive Cruise Control
Helps you keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front. It also warns you of any threat and activates the emergency brake if you get too close.

Lane Keeping Support
This system tracks road markings with a camera. When it looks like you’re straying over them, it’ll ping you a signal.

Driver alert support
This system monitors your driving behaviour. If it records anything erratic about it, you’ll receive an alert asking you to think about having a break. And if you continue driving and get a second warning your cruise control is turned off in order to activate the driver.

Lane changing support
This feature activates a radar while you’re changing lane. This way, you’re kept informed of any obstacles in your blind spots.

ESC
The Electronic Stability Control uses engine power and individual wheel brakes to reduce the risk of skidding and rollover.

I-Shift
I-Shift makes driving safer by timing each gear change perfectly. There’s no heavy clutch, and no stick to wrestle with. The simplicity of the system reduces driver fatigue and ups focus, helping you to concentrate on the road and the traffic around you.

Testing
Swedish cab strength test. Barrier test. Roll-over test. Sledtest. Head impact test. Our extensive testing programme proves the Volvo FH and the Volvo FH16 are the safest Volvo in the world. And the tests are thorough – with the interior fittings in place and full storage compartments.

INTERIOR


With night mode, drivers have the option of instantly switching off all unnecessary dashboard backlights with the press of a button. The result is less glare in the driver’s field of vision, and fewer distractions from reflections in the windscreen and side mirrors. It is best suited to long-haul drivers when driving at night, and when reversing and manoeuvring in tough weather conditions or complex environments, such as when connecting or disconnecting trailers.

SAFETY HATCH
Every Volvo FH16 has a large skylight that doubles as an escape hatch. It also gives a bright, airy cab – helping you stay alert and focused on the road.

SEATBELT
Around half of all fatalities in trucks could be avoided through use of a seatbelt – a fact worth remembering next time you hit the road.

EXTERIOR


FRONT UNDERRUN PROTECTION SYSTEM
Absorbs some of the force in a collision by recoiling backwards under the truck. Now made from lighter and stronger materials, and effective at even higher speeds.

LIGHTING
We’ve integrated the front position lights and daytime running lights. As a result, the unit provides intelligent illumination from a compact package.

MIRRORS AND VISIBILITY
An array of smart features is designed to give real 360-degree visibility to our drivers. But the FH16’s sizeable windows and mirrors also give brilliant coverage.
