With 700HP and a mind-blowing 3,150 Nm (2,323 lbs.ft) of torque, Volvo Truck's FH16 is now the most powerful series-manufactured truck in the world. Volvo's flagship truck is fitted with a new D16G engine that is a further development of the company's current D16 engine producing 660HP. In addition to an extra 40 horsepower and higher torque, the new 16.0-liter engine produces cleaner exhaust gases and is certified for the new Euro 5 European emission requirements that come into force on October 1st 2009.
"The Volvo FH16 is intended for the very heaviest and most demanding of transport operations. It is also a highly prestigious truck for the customer who is looking for something truly out of the ordinary. Now, with 700 hp, the Volvo FH16 sets itself apart from everything else in the industry," said Staffan Jufors, President and CEO of Volvo Trucks.
Aside from the 700HP version, the Volvo FH16 with the D16G engine is also available at Euro 5 with new 600-horsepower and 540-horsepower variants.
