Volvo FH16 780 – Power Beyond Limits

Meet the most powerful truck ever built by Volvo. The Volvo FH16 780 is purpose-built for the most demanding heavy transport assignments—from forestry and mining to long-haul heavy logistics. With an all-new D17 engine delivering up to 780 horsepower and 3800 Nm of torque, this truck is engineered to tackle the jobs others can’t. Built right here in Australia, this truck takes on our conditions like a boss, whilst still delivering the same safety and comfort you expect from any Volvo truck.

Conquer Heavy Loads with Confidence

The FH16 780 is your ultimate tool for forestry, mining, quarrying, and extreme heavy-duty logistics. Built with up to four factory-installed axles for maximum load capacity, it’s ready to move serious weight right off the lot — with warranty and full aftermarket support.

 

Unmatched Driver Comfort and Control

Step inside the FH16 cabin trimmed with premium leather and experience a workplace designed for long-haul endurance. Features like Volvo Dynamic Steering and the Camera Monitor System reduce physical strain while enhancing control and visibility — whether you're navigating tight turns or wide open roads.

 

 

Smarter Driving with I-Shift and I-See

The Volvo FH16 780hp is more than muscle — it’s smart. I-Shift with crawler gears ensures smooth starts even under extreme loads, while I-See uses intelligent topography mapping to optimize your route for maximum fuel savings and efficiency.

 

D17 Engine – The Heart of the FH16 780


This is the most powerful engine ever in a Volvo truck. The D17 delivers 780 hp and extreme torque, but also stands out for its fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Every output level (600, 700, or 780 hp) is compatible with renewable HVO fuel, helping reduce your carbon footprint.

Enhanced Vision and Safety Features

Drive with confidence, day or night. The adaptive high beam LED headlights offer clear visibility while preventing glare for others. Combined with the aerodynamic Camera Monitor System, you’ll enjoy better sightlines and safer, more energy-efficient driving.
