Take on the bigger 520hp 12.8litre engine or step up and join the biggest truck engine on the market.
The FH16 is normally seen on British roads pulling fridges or logs at 44t. Options include 4x2, 6x2 and 6x4. while cab trims starts with the entry-level sleeper, rising to the standard Globetrotter and the XL Globetrotter, normally favoured with FH16s.
It's the sort of truck
that should have a one-year waiting list and if it hasn't, Volvo should devise one. Both d'ivntne re
SCR and fuel efficiency has been questioned. And the Globetrotter cab is a bit short of headroom above the windscreen, as it packs in some extra storage.
