Volvo – other commercial vehicles: the collective page of trucks and chassis outside the named ranges, from the F4/F6/F7 class through the F10, F12 and F16 to bus and special chassis, 40 to 350 kW
This page gathers Volvo commercial vehicles the register could not assign to a named range – mostly chassis and trucks of the cab-over F range, plus a handful of bus and special chassis with the B designation. Volvo, founded in Gothenburg in 1927, today runs its commercial-vehicle business as Volvo Trucks. The F range (F4/F6/F7 light, F10/F12/F16 heavy) replaced the bonneted models in the 1970s and shaped European long-haul transport until it was replaced by the FH/FM in 1993; the number after the F roughly denotes, by the maker's logic, the engine class, the following digits the axle configuration (6X2, 6X4, 8X4) and wheelbase, VTA the turbocharged, intercooled engine. The B types are chassis for buses and special bodies of the same family.

The register lists here 230 versions with 40 to 349.5 kW from four- to six-cylinders of 1,990 to 16,120 cm³, unladen weights from 1,900 to 25,700 kg, lengths from 5,330 to 12,000 mm and widths from 1,720 to 2,800 mm.
Alongside MAN's F90 and Scania's 2 and 3 series, the F range was the backbone of European long-haul transport in the 1980s, and its safety cab and TD engine programme laid the technical foundation for the later FH generation; the B chassis remained a niche beside Volvo's own bus marques.
On used F-range vehicles, the condition of the frame and cab mounting, turbocharger and intercooler, clutch and the mechanical or semi-automatic gearbox count, and on chassis the body as well; corrosion on the side members and cab floor is common on the oldest model years, and parts run through the Volvo network and independent commercial-vehicle parts dealers.

What to check before buying
