Everyone needs a hero, and the Volvo FH16 XXL on show at this year’s Brisbane Truck Show did not fail to disappoint.
The truck featured Volvo’s recently launched 17-Litre Euro 6 engine platform that provides a class-leading 780hp of power and a stump-pulling 3,800Nm of torque.
The horsepower hero allows long-haul operators to gear for efficiency while heavy haulers can tackle big weights with ease.
Smooth operator
Another new face amongst the Volvo Trucks Australia lineup was the FH Aero, a streamlined model designed to cut through the air, reducing drag and saving fuel.
On show at this year’s event, The Aero is available with a suite of drivelines spanning a range of Euro 6 engines from the fuel miser 500hp D13TC and 13-litre 540 to the range-topping D17 at power ratings of 600hp and 700hp.
Electric leader
Volvo Trucks currently leads the Australian heavy-duty battery electric market. The Volvo FMX Electric on display will feature 540kWh of power from four battery packs with a range of up to 300km.
Three electric motors provide 660hp which put power to the ground via a new-generation I-Shift automated transmission.
The Volvo Trucks stand will showcase a wide array of models ranging from the high-horsepower FH16 XXL (pictured at top) to the new aerodynamic FH Aero (pictured above) and FMX Electric
The FMX is Volvo’s severe-duty model with extra ground clearance for off-road operations as well as additional shielding and reinforcement.
Electric loader
Aboard the FMX Electric will be the recently launched Volvo L25 electric wheel loader, equipped with a 40kWh battery that provides a run time of up to eight hours.
The baby articulated loader has a general-purpose safe working load of up to 1,600kg at full turn and is available in 4,500kg and 5,400kg variants.
