Honestly speaking, the Volvo FH13 2011 has its strengths and limitations. The fuel tank capacity provides sufficient range, which is practical for long hauls. The electronic systems, including the Bluetooth connectivity and board computer, add convenience. However, I encountered some complexity in the configuration, and the automated gearbox takes some getting used to. Overall, it's a truck designed for efficiency.

Driving the Volvo FH equipped with the I-Save package was a distinct experience. The handling was smooth, and the Dual Clutch transmission ensured seamless gear shifts. While the I-See feature efficiently adapted to road gradients, its anticipatory adjustments might not suit dense traffic scenarios. Altogether, it’s a commendable balance of innovation and practicality.

Driven a bunch of trucks and I’ll be honest, the new FH16 didn’t blow me away right off. But after a few weeks, it grew on me. The fuel economy is better, for sure, saving a few liters here and there when you do those long distance hauls. Took a while for me to get used to the gearbox upgrade though, feels a bit tighter when shifting but nothing wild. It runs quiet, even though it doesn’t look much different on the outside. Maintenance, I can’t really say yet, everything’s still brand new. Comfort’s good for long shifts. All in all, no real complaints but not life-changing either, just solid upgrades where it matters for the job.

The Volvo FM's safety features definitely stand out. The truck's design prioritizes vision for drivers, a big deal in crowded urban areas. I noticed the active safety systems provide great assistance during tight maneuvers. However, while the technology is impressive, it might feel a bit much for drivers who prefer a more straightforward setup. Still, it's hard to argue with its solid Euro NCAP rating.

After several test drives with the Volvo FH16, I commend its robust chassis and advanced fuel-saving capabilities like the I-See system. While the adaptive high beams were beneficial, occasional adjustments were necessary for optimal visibility in mixed traffic. The interior setup was cozy, though more personal storage space would have been appreciated.

I recently had the chance to work with the updated Volvo FH16, and it's a serious contender in its class. The engine's power is something that stands out, especially the efficient response under load. However, I found that the fuel consumption claims might not fully align with real-world use, although it's still reasonable for a vehicle of this caliber.

I had a chance to drive the updated Volvo FH. The I-Shift Dual Clutch transmission works smoothly, making shifts barely noticeable, even under heavy loads. Fuel efficiency surprised me, savings are noticeable. However, the tech systems required some getting used to, but overall enhanced driving. Worth trying for those considering an upgrade.

Driven the FH 460 for about 2 years now, mostly across Germany and into Eastern Europe. Cab is roomy, I'll give them that, even with all my crap lying around. The fuel efficiency’s decent, especially when you’re loaded up. Didn't expect the assisted steering options to actually make a difference, but my arms aren't dead after a long shift. Had a coolant leak once, nothing wild, but getting spare parts outside major cities is a pain. Ride is alright, not the softest over rough patches, but way better than some older rigs I’ve had. Electronic stuff is finicky sometimes, had a warning light pop for no reason, went away next day. Overall gets stuff done, not perfect, but earns its keep.
