LEGEND OF THE ROAD

The Volvo FM has a bold new design. Its soft curves, aerodynamic lines and distinctive grille make quite an impression on the road. It’s confident. Likeable. And every inch a Volvo.

URBAN DESIGN

It’s powerful. Aerodynamic. And built for the road. But the Volvo FM is also at home on city streets. It’s less assertive-looking than some of its stable mates. Less tall too. So it’s easy for pedestrians, cyclists and car drivers to make eye contact with the driver. And that means happier – and safer – journeys all round.

PART OF THE FAMILY

Re-thought. Re-drawn. Re-shaped. And more familiar than ever. With its aerodynamic lines and V-shaped headlights, the Volvo FM is definitely part of the family. Yet it’s retained the characteristics that made the previous model so popular. And judging by the brave new grille – a bit of attitude has been injected too.

YOU’LL FORGET YOU’RE DRIVING A TRUCK

The suspension in the Volvo FM has been re-engineered to match the handling performance of the Volvo FH. Course stability and steering control are noticeably improved. Engine vibration is reduced. And the Volvo Dynamic Steering option adds effortless precision.

STEADY AS A TRAIN

Redesigning the geometry of the front leaf suspension reduces roll forces and dramatically improves steering stability, giving you an enhanced feeling of control in any situation. The improved front suspension also reduces the amount of course correction required – so the truck follows your lead on the motorway and around tightest bends.

CONTROLLING FORCES

We’ve transformed the rear air suspension, too. The Volvo-patented design features stabilisers in front of the axle that prevent unwanted road forces transferring to the frame. The design also stops forces from the trailer causing the truck to oversteer when entering a bend.

VOLVO DYNAMIC STEERING

The biggest thing since power steering. Volvo Dynamic Steering uses ‘torque overlay’ to correct unintentional steering movements and to provide extra torque when needed. The result is perfect stability at high speed, total control and low speed and dramatically reduced strain on your muscles.

Volvo FM FAQs

The main difference between the Volvo FM and FH is their design and usage focus. The Volvo FM is built for versatility and is often used in regional distribution and urban settings. It features a lower cabin height for better road visibility and ease of access. The Volvo FH, on the other hand, is designed primarily for long-haul transportation, with more advanced features for fuel efficiency and comfort during extended journeys.

The Volvo FM offers several cabin options to suit different needs, including the Day Cab, Sleeper Cab and Globetrotter Cab. The Globetrotter Cab is the most spacious, offering an interior height of 196cm, while the Day Cab is more compact, with an interior height of 157cm.

The Volvo FM range is engineered for fuel efficiency with innovations such as optimised engines, I-Shift gearbox, and Torque Assist software. Depending on the configuration and driving conditions, the Volvo truck can achieve significant fuel savings, especially when combined with features like cab spoilers and the Dynafleet system for tracking fuel usage.

The Volvo FM’s towing capacity can range from 40 to 50 tonnes depending on its configuration, making it suitable for regional distribution and heavy-duty applications.

The FM truck has numerous safety features, including Electronic Climate Control for driver comfort, a panic button for emergencies, and the Volvo Dynamic Steering system for better vehicle control. Additionally, the FM’s design promotes visibility for both drivers and pedestrians, making city driving safer.

Volvo Dynamic Steering in the FM range enhances control using ‘torque overlay’ to correct unintentional steering movements. This results in improved stability at high speeds and better manoeuvrability at low speeds, which reduces the physical strain on the driver and improves overall safety and comfort.

The FM is designed for regional distribution and urban settings where a lower cab height improves manoeuvrability and visibility. The FH is geared for long-haul transport with a higher cab and extra comfort features.

There are multiple cab configurations: Day Cab, Sleeper Cab and Globetrotter cab. Interior heights range from approximately 157 cm in the Day Cab to around 196 cm in the Globetrotter, giving drivers room to stand and rest comfortably.

The FM range uses Euro 6‑compliant engines with optimised combustion and offers the I‑Shift gearbox with fuel‑saving features. Options like Torque Assist, cab spoilers and the Volvo Connect telematics system help drivers monitor consumption and improve efficiency.

Depending on configuration, a Volvo FM can tow roughly 40‑50 tonnes. Its robust chassis and driveline are built to handle heavy payloads while maintaining stability and control.

Standard equipment includes electronic climate control, a remote key with panic button, Volvo Dynamic Steering for superior handling, energy‑efficient LED lighting and a cab design that maximises visibility. Optional driver‑assist systems like adaptive cruise control and collision warning further enhance safety.

It uses an electric motor to provide additional steering assistance, making the truck easy to manoeuvre at low speeds and more stable at high speeds. It also reduces steering kickback on rough roads, so drivers experience less fatigue over long shifts.
