    Over 20 years ago Volvos were not as commonplace as they are today. I was impressed with one I saw back then - the driver had a little "office area" in the back that had a desk, etc. which made it convenient to do all you paperwork, "swindle sheets" (paper log books back then), route planning, etc. The best feature was the airbags on the steers and rears - made for a much better ride!

    I recall getting a new Volvo truck in 1998 when this model first came out from Volvo. No-one would drive them at the company i drove for i loved it. Coming from a Peterbuilt truck it was like night and day compared to the Volvo. I drove it in my socks and shorts in Minus 40C thru Saskatchewan. Arctic package is pretty much the same as any other model. The fuel return line is increased in size to prevent Jelling up in the cold and it comes with a Block Heater. I gave up trucking 18 years ago, it was the best move I ever made. Being on the road in a truck is a tough job, not getting paid waiting to get re-loaded is criminal. Miss cruising down the road some days, peace and quiet but do not miss the truck stops and the smell of urine walking thru the parking lots. Drive safe, it is a hard life with little financial value.

      Werner Danler you mean the right side based on country. Every country has different road regulations and some are similar. But in my opinion right hand drive vehicles make more sense than left hand drive. Those make less sense in a country where majority of people are right handed. The UK knows it, some Caribbean countries knows it. I believe Australia also has right hand drive cars and we all drive on the *left* instead of the right.

    I appreciate Volvo for their ergonomics. The driver's visibility is great and switches are smartly placed. However, the overuse of plastic makes the interior parts break easily and feel cheap. Volvo if you're reading this go take a tour inside a new Kenworth W990 or new Western Star and apply their interior asthetics and materials to your trucks.

    The upper bunk needs to lower and raise like those in the front of a Class A motorhome or those in the rear of a toy hauler. That way you get the comfy mattress, you can leave your bed made up and you still get to use the dinette. And you don't have to climb up and down.

    As someone on the outside looking in, nice trucks. When I went through CDL school they used some old Volvo trucks and I hated them with a passion. Near the end of school I got to sit in a newer Kenworth and I thought that was the truck. But after watching this video Volvo may be my new favorite truck and you have no idea how it pains me to say that since I have spent so much time hating them since I left school, but I can admit that I was wrong to judge.

      If you look up the European FH classic vs the FH4 then quite a lot has changed. Seeing this new American version is quite fun to look at though. It's nice that they somewhat made the styling a lot more American, the whole look is a bit more "oldschool" compared to the European versions.

      Scott Coon APU is for heat and cool air in the truck that runs off the diesel in the truck. Trucks will either have an auto start when they turn on once the batteries get to a certain voltage or a tri-pack which is a battery charger on the back of the truck that will charge the batteries when the truck is off
