Driven a bunch of trucks and I’ll be honest, the new FH16 didn’t blow me away right off. But after a few weeks, it grew on me. The fuel economy is better, for sure, saving a few liters here and there when you do those long distance hauls. Took a while for me to get used to the gearbox upgrade though, feels a bit tighter when shifting but nothing wild. It runs quiet, even though it doesn’t look much different on the outside. Maintenance, I can’t really say yet, everything’s still brand new. Comfort’s good for long shifts. All in all, no real complaints but not life-changing either, just solid upgrades where it matters for the job.

I’ve had a few FHs over the years and jumped back in an FH 540 recently. First thing I noticed is how easy it is to live with day to day. Those outside lockers plus the space under the bunk… you can actually keep your kit sorted instead of stacking stuff everywhere. The bunk is proper size too (I’m tall as well) and it’s comfy enough after a long shift. Fridge is decent, door pockets are usable, loads of random storage spots on the dash.

Driving wise, the 12-speed I-Shift is smooth and it pulls clean even with weight on. With around 21t behind it, it didn’t feel stressed. The stability through bends is solid, you feel the cab stays planted. Visibility is mostly good, mirrors give you a nice view, but I did notice some wind noise up by the A-pillar at speed. Not horrible, just there.

Braking control is better than some older setups. The auxiliary brake isn’t as strong as a full retarder, but it does slow you down fine and the brake blending (B mode) feels natural, especially when you’re trying not to snatch the trailer.

Service access is straightforward too. Pop the grille and you’re right at fluids and checks, which I like when you’re doing quick walkarounds.

Only real gripe: if you’re picky about shift speed on hills, the standard box can feel a bit slow. You’d want the dual clutch option if you’re always in stop/start or steep country.

After several test drives with the Volvo FH16, I commend its robust chassis and advanced fuel-saving capabilities like the I-See system. While the adaptive high beams were beneficial, occasional adjustments were necessary for optimal visibility in mixed traffic. The interior setup was cozy, though more personal storage space would have been appreciated.

I recently had the chance to work with the updated Volvo FH16, and it's a serious contender in its class. The engine's power is something that stands out, especially the efficient response under load. However, I found that the fuel consumption claims might not fully align with real-world use, although it's still reasonable for a vehicle of this caliber.

I recently had the chance to test the FH16 780 model and was generally pleased. The power output is impressive, providing smooth operations even during heavy cargo transport. However, I noticed that gas mileage isn't on the economical side under regular conditions. The advanced transmission system ensured precise gear shifting, contributing positively to the experience.

I've had the opportunity to drive the Volvo FH16 on several long-haul trips. The cabin is extremely comfortable, especially for extended periods on the road. The adjustable sleeping area really stands out, as it ensures proper rest. Performance-wise, the engine delivers consistent power, and the advanced braking systems increase confidence while descending steep grades. However, adjusting the climate control settings while driving takes some getting used to.

Took the Volvo FH 540 for a spin recently. The quiet engine operation caught my attention even at higher RPMs-a nice change when you're on long hauls. Ride feel is smooth, partly because of the suspension setup. Technology-wise, it assists rather than obstructs, which is appreciated. However, I had to adapt to the steering responsiveness, maybe just my preference. The functionality exceeds expectations for the most part.

I've had the chance to drive the Volvo FH 540 for a few jobs recently. A couple of things stand out to me. First, the adjustable load distribution system is really helpful when managing uneven loads. Helps reduce wear on the axles. However, the cabin electronics interface feels less intuitive than I'd prefer. Still, it's reliable and doesn't let you down. Mileage isn't bad either, and the overall build feels solid.

Having driven the latest Volvo FH16 for several weeks, I can say it's a solid machine. The handling on highways is smooth, and it provides confidence even when managing heavy cargo. While the biodiesel compatibility is impressive, I’m curious about its long-term performance. The cabin comfort is good but could use some enhancements.

Had the chance to drive the Volvo FH16 recently. The comfort level is something else; the seat adjustments and bed quality are impressive. Storage compartments are very useful too. On the road, engine power is remarkable, handles inclines without issues. The automated gearbox simplified driving routines significantly. It is on the pricey side, but the quality feels justified.
