Volvo FMFH – register collective name for FM and FH chassis: 480 to 495 hp six-cylinder of 9.4 to 12.8 litres, axle formula 42 (4x2), gross weights from 18,200 to 37,000 kg
Volvo FMFH combines, in this section of the register, chassis from both the FM and the FH series under one shared designation. The number 42 in model designations such as FMFH 42 9.0E4 stands for the 4x2 axle formula, the following number for the wheelbase in metres, and the abbreviation E4 or E5 for the Euro 4 and Euro 5 emission standards.

The register lists 6 versions with up to 364 kW from six-cylinder engines of 9,365 to 12,780 cc. Kerb weights range from 7,680 to 28,018 kg, gross vehicle weights from 18,200 to 37,000 kg. Lengths run from 5,950 to 11,100 mm, widths from 2,520 to 2,600 mm.
The span of roughly 9.4 to 12.8 litres of displacement shows that both D9 and D13 engines from the FM and FH series are gathered here; as tractor units and chassis for heavy-transport and box bodies they covered Volvo's middle to upper long-haul segment.
On a used example, checks should cover corrosion on the frame outriggers and spring brackets, the condition of the fifth-wheel coupling and air suspension on tractor units, and sealing of the charge-air cooler and exhaust aftertreatment on the six-cylinder engine; spare parts are widely available through Volvo's service network.
