Volvo FE – distribution truck of 18 to 26 t since 2006: six-cylinder engines up to 8.9 litres, diesel, CNG and electric versions, 177 to 405 kW, 6.2 to 25.6 t kerb weight
The Volvo FE has been the distribution-truck range between the lighter FL and the heavy long-haul FH since 2006, designed for urban and regional transport in the 18 to 26 t weight class. The type logic follows Volvo's usual pattern: a two-digit number before the slash denotes the axle configuration (42 for 4x2, 62 for 6x2, 64 for 6x4), R and T distinguish rigid chassis and tractor unit, and EEV and HYBRID mark the emissions stage or hybrid drive respectively. The engines are Volvo's own six-cylinders from the D7 and D8 families.

The register lists 90 versions with outputs from 177 to 405 kW, all from six-cylinder engines up to 8,900 cm³, kerb weights from 6,216 to 25,620 kg, gross vehicle weights from 18,000 to 28,000 kg, lengths from 6,040 to 12,000 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm; besides diesel versions, CNG and fully electric drivetrains are also recorded.
As a distribution truck the FE competes with the Mercedes-Benz Actros/Atego field and the MAN TGM/TGS; its niche is furniture, beverage and waste-collection vehicles in urban traffic, where the available CNG and electric versions are increasingly in demand.
Used, what counts is operating hours and mileage, the condition of clutch and gearbox, rust on the chassis and body mounting points, the function of the exhaust aftertreatment (AdBlue system, particulate filter), on electric and CNG versions the condition of the battery or gas tanks, and parts supply through the Volvo dealer network.
