Volvo – further truck models: collective page for FH and FE series outside the named lines, 70 to 552 kW, diesel, gas and electric drivetrains, lengths from 5.35 to 12 metres
This page gathers Volvo trucks that the register could not assign to a named series – mostly variants of the heavy long-haul FH series and the medium-duty distribution FE. Volvo Trucks, headquartered in Gothenburg, belongs to the Volvo Group and has built the FH series since 1993 with its distinctive tall "H" cab, and the FE series as a more compact urban and distribution truck. The type codes combine series, engine designation and axle configuration, for instance FH16-8X4R denoting an FH with a 16-litre engine and a four-axle flatbed chassis driven on three axles.

The register lists 343 versions here with 70 to 552 kW, mostly from six-cylinder engines, 1,210 to 16,120 cm³ displacement, kerb weights of 2,720 to 36,150 kg, lengths of 5,350 to 12,000 mm and widths of 1,880 to 2,800 mm; besides diesel, liquefied natural gas (LNG), compressed natural gas (CNG) and purely electric drivetrains are also recorded.
Alongside Scania, Mercedes-Benz and MAN, Volvo is one of the leading European makers in long-haul transport and construction-site logistics; with CNG, LNG and battery-electric FH and FE variants, the brand is among the pioneers of alternative drivetrains in the heavy segment.
On a used diesel example, check the turbocharger, EGR valve and particulate filter, and on older FH model years, frame and cab-mount corrosion along with the condition of the I-Shift automated gearbox; on gas-powered trucks additionally the tightness of the tanks and the service state of the gas system, and on electric trucks the state of charge and ageing of the battery packs. Spare parts run through Volvo's dense dealer network.
