Heavy transport

Fully loaded and on the way. Getting oversized goods and heavy machinery from A to B – safely and on time – demands strong, reliable trucks and powertrains that are built for the job. As well as features, services, and support that put drivers in control and keep downtime to a minimum. Find your heavy solutions here.

High payloads day after day

It’s a heavy business and the truck always has to carry the load. You need high payload capacity and torque with an axle configuration, robust chassis, and suspension to match. And always customized to meet the needs of your specific load and heavy transport regulations.

Comfortably in control

Heavy loads demand a lot from drivers. The more support they can get from transmissions with crawler gears, high startability, load-sensing braking, and assisted steering the better the control. Plus comfort in the cab makes longer journeys easier and more viable.

Productive and profitable

When your truck moves so does your business. Maximizing uptime is critical and you need workshop maintenance and parts you can trust as well as services and support to limit downtime.

Heavyweight solutions to your challenges

The heavier the load, the heavier the demands. Discover how Volvo can help you deliver on your promises – safely, reliably, and productively.

Heavy doesn’t have to be hard

To deal with large and extra-heavy loads, drivers must be confident they have the power and torque for the road ahead, not to mention secure control and safe braking when needed.

We offer powerful trucks that can handle the job with a choice of axle configurations and flexible tailored chassis to meet your specific needs and special permits.

With tailored chassis, advanced services, and innovative features, our solutions give you the confidence to deliver every time – and go further.

Power and torque

The Volvo FH16 is simply made for heavy assignments. Its powerful and efficient 17-liter inline six-cylinder engine provides up to 780 hp and 3800 Nm of torque, as well as more engine braking power at low engine speeds.

Performance and efficiency

The Volvo FH16 Aero takes the low weight and high efficiency of the D17 engine and builds on it with an aerodynamic truck design that reduces drag to save fuel. Perfect for heavy assignments that demand extended performance at high average speeds.

Flexible to meet your needs

On top of a choice of axle configurations, our chassis can be expertly tailored to fit the load and the needs of body builders. As well as ensuring better weight distribution and better control on the road.

On the road and in control

Heavy transport drivers are some of the best in the world. You want to support them in their job to ensure their long-term safety and comfort, not to mention a smooth and reliable operation.

Our driver support systems take the strain out of driving while helping ensure a safe delivery. With cab accessories like extra lights and security cameras, drivers can also feel more secure and comfortable over longer journeys.

I-Shift with crawler gears

I-Shift helps you get the best out of your powertrain and aids very low speed maneuvering. Within this range of automated transmissions, you can get low and ultra-low crawler gears, Terrain Brake, tailored software for startability with reduced clutch wear, and one-pedal driving when shifting between forward and reverse.

More control, less effort

With Volvo Dynamic Steering, drivers can maneuver at low speeds as well as drive over longer distances with less strain on the shoulders. Improving productivity and safety, the system automatically gives assistance when a front tire is punctured, and works together with Stability Assist for light assistance when a skid is detected.

Driver comfort and security

The ergonomic cabs with Camera Monitor System put drivers in control with great visibility all around the truck – even in low light conditions. The system can also increase security on overnight stops, while a range of accessories like microwave ovens, refrigerators, and extra lights make the cab an even more comfortable home on the road.
