2011 Volvo FH16 700
Volvo Trucks has revealed its ADR 80/03 (Euro 5) compliant line-up for 2011. The new models employ selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. The company claims that SCR offers the benefits of better fuel efficiency, cooler running, longer service intervals and increased horsepower and torque when compared to engines using exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for emissions compliance.

FH16 features an upgraded ‘D version’ of the company’s I-shift 12-speed automated transmission for optimum performance, fuel efficiency and driving convenience.
The new six-cylinder FH540 offers the space saving advantage of a raised muffler. This enables increased fuel and AdBlue capacities with Volvo claiming the FH540 can comfortably travel up to 3000 km without refuelling and up to 7000 km between AdBlue tank replenishments.
