Season’s greetings from Volvo Trucks
As we wrap up 2025, we wanted to thank all our customers for your partnership and wish you a safe and happy festive season.
During 2025 Volvo Trucks Australia celebrated 60 years since the first Volvo F86 arrived in 1965. We also experienced a major milestone with 60,000 Volvo trucks proudly built in Australia since our factory opened in 1972. We celebrate our customers alongside these milestones as your joint focus on quality, safety and environmental care has made these milestones achievable. Thank you.
We were also proudly recognised through number of awards including:
- FH16 780 – International Truck of the Year Australasia
- Volvo Dynamic Steering – Safety Innovation Award – HVIA
- Social Impact Award for our Foodbank NSW / ACT partnership – Swedish Australian Chamber of Commerce
Volvo FH16 780 Takes Out 2025 International Truck Of The Year Australasia Award
The prestigious ToYA award has been awarded to our new heavy hitting FH16 780.
“780hp and 3,800Nm are impressive numbers, and we can talk about these numbers as much as we like, but it’s that ‘seat-of-the-pants’ feeling which tells the driver whether the torque is doing the job out on the road," says Tim Giles, Chair of the ToYA Jury.
“The extra power and torque is coupled with the excellent driver experience which Volvo have developed over the years. There’s a quiet effortlessness which the driver feels as they get into a climb at those high masses, and the way the driveline copes in an unfussy way with varying gradients is impressive.”
