The Volvo Group will celebrate its anniversary next year. Needless to say, the history of this remarkable company is full of notable events. Volvo has produced the first heavy-duty diesel truck for many years. So let's take a look at the long-distance transportation services offered by the world's second-largest heavy-duty truck manufacturer.
Early 1940s - turning point of Volvo engines
1946 was a stone year in the history of Volvo heavy trucks. Prior to this, the company has been focusing on the Hesselman engine [although diesel engines are far superior to others]. The reason is that Gustaf Larson, one of Volvo's co-founders, is a colleague of Jonas Hesselman, whose creation requires lower development costs. But in the end, the voice of the market and the power of gradual change played a role, Volvo began to implement pre-combustion diesel engines in the new L29 C [' Civilian'] and L29 V [' Management Tools '].
Volvo Vikings #39; Times
The Viking series has won one of the most notable achievements of Volvo Trucks. The company explained the success of the series in its symbolic role. First of all, it is about V' V' at the same time start the letter of the brand and model name. Second, it reflects the true Scandinavian ' originated from the ancient Vikings and Volvo vehicles are so typical.
The Viking L38 and the upgraded L48 are important for the choice of a 7-liter direct injection engine and a 2- or 3-axis version [usually an all-wheel drive system].
Titan's reputation
Titan is another famous name in the history of trucks. Its designers are one of the pioneers in the breakthrough in engine technology. Later, they introduced the L39 [and then L49] turbocharged diesel engine output from 150 horsepower to 185 horsepower. Over the next decade, trucks also gained superior features such as pneumatic braking systems, power steering systems and Volvo safe cabs. These devices have been an important part of Volvo trucks so far.
If the Titan TIPTOP / F88 is not the first to be a successful Volvo F [front control / cab] truck in the world, the story about the Titan series will be incomplete.
New Era - True Global Volvo Truck
Despite concerns about some F trucks overseas, the US and Australian markets have always placed N-type [traditional] trucks in the first place. For these areas, Volvo offers the N10 / 12 and NL10 / 12 series. These offers have been enthusiastic, especially in Brazil. This is widely recognized for its excellent adhesion to the ground, which provides impressive off-road maneuverability. In addition, in the toughest off-road conditions, the N-Series includes an all-wheel drive version.
Now - a great family, thousands of versions
The most popular Volvo trucks today belong to the FH series. Considering the highest international recognition of the Volvo FH12 / 16, understanding the abbreviation ' FH' is completely correct. As ' Fantasy History '. However, the real meaning is "advance control high entry" #39; [the number after the letter indicates that the engine capacity is liter].
The FH was previously the F-Series, suggesting two new automatic transmission systems: Powertronic and Geartronic, designed by Volvo in the 1980s. This FH innovation reinforces this tradition, such as the patented Volvo Engine Brake System [VEB], the driver's airbag in the truck [first used in 1995], and of course the powerful engine with 420 and 540 horsepower. [FH12] to 750 horsepower [FH16].
No wonder, so far, the FH series has won three annual trucks & #39; has been the award. And there is a strong belief that the best conclusion of this story should be "the best achievement has not yet arrived"
