Volvo Trucks Korea has officially begun domestic deliveries of the 'New Volvo FH16,' a heavy-duty truck equipped with a new engine to boost maximum output, starting from the 12th. The Volvo FH16 is the top-tier heavy-duty truck in Volvo Trucks' LINE lineup, and the company aims to further strengthen its competitiveness in the domestic premium commercial vehicle market through the launch of this new model.

The New Volvo FH16 is equipped with a newly developed high-performance 'Volvo D17 engine.' This engine delivers a maximum output of 780 horsepower, the highest figure among the heavy-duty truck LINE units currently sold in the domestic market. According to the company, Volvo's new D17 engine is designed not only to enhance output but also to provide swift and immediate engine response during acceleration, helping drivers control the vehicle intuitively. The primary purpose of this engine is to maintain precise driving performance and driving convenience even in demanding driving conditions such as steep inclines or long-distance transport under maximum load.

Volvo Trucks Korea has been accepting pre-orders and orders for the New Volvo FH16 since the second half of 2025, securing a total of 40 units in advance orders to date. With 20 vehicles, corresponding to the first supply batch, having arrived in the country earlier this month, the first customer deliveries are now proceeding sequentially.

Park Kang-seok, CEO of Volvo Trucks Korea, stated that demand and inquiries for the FH16 model have continued in the domestic market since the launch of the Volvo FH Aero in September 2024. He explained that the company secured the initial supply through close coordination with the Swedish headquarters to proceed with the first deliveries. Park also emphasized that, given the model's top-tier power performance and customized convenience features in the country, it will provide an optimized transport environment for customers in the heavy-duty segment.
