The Volvo FH is truck model manufactured by Volvo Trucks for heavy use. Volvo introduced the FH cab in 1993, thus replacing the old Volvo F10, F12 and F16. Volvo FM-series share same design, but uses lower version of the FH cab. FH cab is available either at low roof or at two different height extended roof versions. Originally FH series included FH12 and FH16 models where 12 and 16 refers to the engine displacement in liters. Volvo FH cab was heavily facelifted at 2002 [1]. Since 2006 Volvo FH12 was discontinued, and it was replaced with mildly facelifted Volvo FH, which no longer has engine volume in model name. The Volvo FH has a brand new 13 litre engine developed on the basis of new design 9 litre and 16 litre engines featuring engine timing gears driven from the back of the crankshaft flywheel side. Volvo FH12 has been given the \'Truck of the Year\' award at 1994 and second time at 2000. [2]
