Powerful. Torque-strong. Super efficient. And with less impact on the environment – thanks to the advanced Engine Management System. Our world leading diesel engines boost productivity. And they cooperate perfectly with I-Shift gearboxes to improve your fuel-efficiency.
Excellent torque at low revs. An extremely wide max torque range. And peak torque that overlaps peak power in the mid rev range. Compare our torque curves and you’ll see the difference. Climb in the cab and you’ll feel it – incredible acceleration, unrivalled pulling power and a fuel-efficient, pleasurable ride at speed.
The D16 engine’s massive power and wide max torque range means that the FH16 can carry out really heavy assignments with a high level of productivity. Your bottom line will reap the benefits.
Our patented engine brake, VEB+, uses a unique camshaft design to absorb up to 470 kW (639 hp) on the D16. Coupled with our I-Shift transmission system and clever cruise control, you can maintain a higher average speed without compromising safety or fuel economy.
With our Euro 6 step C engines, we take another leap towards cleaner transportation and reduced environmental impact. The performance is the same, only the fuel consumption is lower.
Choose from four different power ratings for your Volvo FH16.
