Volvo trucks over 12 tonnes (class N3) – collective registration-data page for the FH, FM, FH16 and older F-series: 2,882 records, 110 to 552 kW, gross weights up to 61.5 tonnes
This page collects registration records for Volvo trucks in the EU vehicle class N3 – trucks with a gross weight above 12 tonnes, captured via Dutch and Finnish vehicle registers. Among the model names appear both the current FH and FM series and the flagship FH16, alongside older series such as the F12 and the medium-heavy FE (which, depending on configuration, falls into N2 or N3); many entries consist of plain registration codes such as displacement figures or axle formulas (e.g. '2ov 12780cm3', '6X2 PUSHER') rather than clear names.

The register lists 2,882 versions with outputs of 110 to 552 kW, displacements up to 16,210 cm³ across 3 to 8 cylinders, unladen weights of 1,575 to 52,750 kg, gross weights of 12,500 to 61,500 kg and lengths up to 15,000 mm.
As a collective class, the N3 page spans the entire range of heavy Volvo trucks, from the long-haul FH articulated tractor through the multi-purpose FM to the heavy-haulage flagship FH16.
When buying used, as with any heavy Volvo, what counts is frame corrosion, the clutch and I-Shift gearbox, brakes, and an unbroken service history; model designation and technical data for individual vehicles are best checked against the vehicle identification number.
