Volvo FH16 Cab Exterior

Evolution for tough demands

It’s the distinctive Volvo FH16 as you know it – with power and comfort in perfect balance. And yet, it’s clear that this truck is the next evolution.

The shape of the Volvo FH16 cab is smoother around the edges and the gaps between the upper and lower front are smaller to improve aerodynamics and efficiency. The unique Volvo FH16 grille has a silver finish, hinting that this is something extra.

But the clearest sign of the evolution is the headlamp design, which gives the Volvo FH16 its iconic expression. The distinctive lines of the headlamp flow with the cab’s shape, proceeding around the front corner and stretching back on the cab sides. The headlamps have a Volvo FH16 black theme. When standing still, it’s obvious that this truck is among the most powerful trucks around – and yet it’s more refined than ever.

The new headlamps come in three different versions and they not only look good – they’re also loaded with enhanced functionality that makes life on the road safer and more comfortable.

You’ll also see that the iron mark in the front is bigger and when you get closer to the door, you’ll notice that the entry steps have aluminium inlays. Details that make a difference.

Headlamps

The iconic headlamps are available in three different versions: one based on halogen technology and two based on LED technology. They all have the characteristic V-shaped LED daytime running lights. The halogen unit is designed for improved light performance. The two other versions are entirely based on LED technology, which offer improved light performance and visibility. The most advanced version offers LED lights with adaptive high beam that maximises your visibility even in oncoming traffic.
