Volvo FES – the collective page of medium to heavy Volvo trucks with the 7.1-litre six-cylinder D7E, axle configurations 4x2 and 6x2, 177 to 250 kW
This page gathers Volvo trucks that the register identifies by the six-cylinder D7E engine of around 7.1 litres, used since 2006, in the 4x2 and 6x2 axle configurations. Volvo, founded in Gothenburg in 1927 and active in truck building since 1928, has its truck division as part of the Volvo Group, which also includes Renault Trucks, Mack and UD Trucks; the D7E engine was a compact six-cylinder for medium to heavy distribution and construction-site work, known for its low weight combined with high power density.

The register lists here 16 versions with 177 to 250 kW from six-cylinders of around 7,140 to 7,146 cm³, unladen weights from 9,400 to 25,680 kg, gross weights from 18,000 to 28,000 kg, lengths from 7,600 to 11,900 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm.
The D7E engine was used above all in Volvo's medium ranges for distribution traffic, refuse collection and construction-site work, where manoeuvrability and low unladen weight combined with high payload matter; Volvo Trucks ranks alongside Scania, Mercedes-Benz, MAN, DAF and Iveco among the big European makers.
On used examples, operating hours and the turbocharger condition of the D7E count, along with the condition of the clutch and gearbox, on vehicles with special bodies the hydraulics and power take-offs, and frame corrosion from urban work; parts run through the Volvo Trucks network.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
