Volvo tractor units are available with a variety of cabs. Popular cabs from Volvo are the Globetrotter and the Globetrotter XL. These Volvo cabs have a high level of comfort, making them perfect for long distances. In addition, Volvo tractor units are available in a variety of configurations. The most common configuration is the 4x2 tractor unit. If you need more axle load, you can choose the following configurations: 6x2 tractor units, 6x4 tractor units and 8x4 tractor units. Other accessories include a cargo crane or Volvo parking coolers.
One of the most iconic innovations within Volvo's trucks is the Globetrotter. Even though the comfort of the Volvo standard tractor units is already high, the Globetrotter version takes it to the next level. This special, extra-high cab developed for long trips provides extra comfort for the operators of these tractor units by Volvo.
The Globetrotter version is available on the following Volvo models: the Volvo F12, the Volvo F16, the Volvo FM and also the Volvo FH. The Volvo Globetrotter is available, both used and new, in the following configurations: Globetrotter 4x2, Globetrotter 6x2, Globetrotter 6x4, and Globetrotter 8x4. In addition, the most common Volvo Globetrotter tractor units are the FH 460 Globetrotter in a 460 4x2 axle configuration and the Globetrotter XL 4x2.
You can usually tell what the engine power of a Volvo tractor unit is by the version of the vehicle. In fact, a vehicle's horsepower is listed on the model's badge name after the cab and before the configuration. For example, we can see that the number 540 represents the number of horsepower the vehicle has for a Volvo FH 540 6x4, and for a Volvo FH 460 4x2, the number 460 represents the number of horsepower the vehicle has. In addition, one can also easily see how many wheels are powered on the truck. For example, in a Volvo FH 420 6x2, two of the six wheels are driven by the engine, and in a Volvo FH 460 4x2, two of the four wheels are driven.
Volvo tractor units are also classified into so-called emissions classes, which are the vehicle emission classes in the European Union. From 2013, only new trucks and tractor units that have Euro 6 engines will be allowed in certain areas. That means trucks and tractor units with a Euro 6 standard are allowed to enter environmental zones alongside electric trucks. Vehicles below the Euro 6 standard, such as the Euro 5 and Euro 4, are no longer allowed to enter these zones. Volvo tractor units with Euro 6 standards emit, on average, 80% less nitrogen than Euro 5 tractor units. Thus, vehicles are divided into the following classes:
From 2031, the Euro 6 standard is expected to be followed by a new Euro emissions standard, the Euro 7 standard.
Some distinctive and innovative options provided by Volvo include the VEB, which is based on a patented compression brake (VCB). This option ensures that gas pressure generates an overpressure when the engine brake is used. Thanks to the VEB system, it is also possible to transport ADR more safely. ADR transport typically carries hazardous materials, but thanks to Volvo's innovative system, it is possible to do so even more safely. In addition to the VEB system, Volvo brand trucks can also have a lift axle. When a truck's cargo is light enough, it can be folded up. This lift shaft must be elevated by the driver. Lifting the axle offers some advantages. For example, it reduces the turning radius of the truck, and it also reduces the truck's consumption.
