Volvo Trucks - Volvo FH16 750 - running footage

The Volvo FH16 750 is the ideal truck for today's heaviest transport assignments. The D16 engine delivers 750 horsepower and has a torque of 3,550 Newton metres. At the same time, it complies with the Euro 5 emission standard and can also be specified with the even more environmentally sustainable EEV engine. Equipped with the I-Shift and the new RSS1360 rear axle, the Volvo FH16 750 hp has excellent fuel-consumption characteristics.
Series production will get under way in the beginning of 2012.

I really love the R500, R560 and R730, but well, the old 142, 141 and so on are the greatest ever :)

Who will make the next strongest truck? Scania? Man? This is a funny race :D

It's only the broken compressor. 5 minutes later: It's only a brake sensor that broke .5 minutes later, just the air dryer. 5 minutes later: it's just the roll bar which broke .5 minutes later, it's just an electrical failure that stopped the engine. 5 minutes later: just Volvo is currently only interested in selling trucks and very little interested in reliability.

@zivaTARY A bit, but they can run on bad fuel for more, and you don`t lose warranty. But on other hand, lots of problems with new Volvos too, leaking doors, electrical things, it`s not so great either.

Is this the model that is being tested by Cootes Transport out of Brisbane Australia?

[vasdesp]

good point.always prefered the 143-144-164 over the new R-series but it is not so ugly

FH POWER BABBY, SWEEDINS FINEST. : ).

Im more impressed with Volvo getting 3550 Nm out of a 6 cylinder engine, than Scania getting 3500 out of their V8.

V8's really should give more Nm.

Talked to a Volvo mechanic, and he didnt understand why they didnt just make a 800hp straight away. It would not have been hard with that volvo Engine.
What they have done with this, is bigger valves, different camshaft, more turbo pressure, and diesel adjustment. And more cooling.
Scania run warm, Volvo dont!

They both look great!

@Seros1995 The Volvo offers more, while utilising less cylinders. Problem?

[zivaTARY]

@nevesu I think Russians should use their Kamaz and Kraz trucks, mainly on the roughest terrains (for example Siberia). European trucks are not for that kind of weather, terrain, temperature, and so on...

@TheLPvideos1 yes but Volvo uses 6 cilinders and scania
so 730:8 cilinders is 91.25
750:6 cilinders is 125
so when volvo uses 8 cilinders it is 125x8=1000HP

@tpaper12
dont be stupid!V8 means 8 cylinders in V shape.we all know V shape gives better accelaration&torque at top hills and so they can hold same speed on hills without need to change down years.you havent probably tried scania poor guy.I have.My Dad started with 142 420 V8.the power was unbelievable at top hills.we owned it even till early of 2000 and we still kicked asses of volvos at hills.now with economical problems, we own unfortunatelly a volvo fh16 470.No torgue at all with 6-line.

@zivaTARY Russian fuel is not good, and newest engines, just have problems with it (those are Common Rail, and injectors need to be changed very often). They can build a new Scania with 4 serie engine, specially for Russia, so it can run there. But if you buy a new scania, and drive to Russia, you lose your warranty, so when truck breaks down (even when it`s new) you need to pay for everything by yourself. Scania made great trucks, 1, 2, 3 serie were really great, but new one ...

[zivaTARY]

@nevesu Okay, I accept this argument. But this problem consists at Volvo trucks, too, I think. Or not? Cause they also use injectors.

[andrzejtrucker]

Nice power, but the sad thing is that Volvo's are not as good quality as they used to be;-)

[doormagic]

If the reliability is equal to the VOLVO FM to make this announcement the truck broke down at least 6 times!

[zivaTARY]

There's a Scania V8 in tanks with 810 hp... :D
