More powerful engine broadens the Volvo FE range

The Volvo FE is now being launched with 350bhp, 1,400Nm of torque and a new front axle for axle loads of up to nine tonnes. This makes one of Volvo Trucks' most versatile models into a strong contender even for more demanding distribution, refuse handling and light construction duties. The Volvo FE 350 is designed for gross combination weights of up to 44 tonnes and is suitable both as a single truck and as a rig towing a trailer.

Tippers, crane trucks and refuse trucks are just a few examples of three-axle applications where the enhanced power creates the necessary preconditions for higher productivity. The D8K 350 Euro 6 engine is available with every cab option, including low-entry cab, and can be combined with Volvo's I-Shift or fully automatic transmission.

The Volvo FE 350 will be offered on all Euro 6 markets. Sales get under way at the end of June and production will start in September. Additional product news relating to the FE range will be released in stages during autumn 2017. At the same time as the diesel-powered Volvo FE 350 is being introduced, Volvo Trucks is also expanding the range for customers who prefer gas power. The Volvo FE 320 with CNG power is now available with a free choice of cabs - day cab, comfort cab, sleeper cab or low-entry cab.
