i have driven an FH500 I-Save from late 2019 with about 23 tons loaded. i was very impressed by the engine, gearbox and overall driving that the volvo presented to me! easily the best truck i''ve ever driven just talking from the driving site of things. can't comment on space offering
WELL DONE MATE !!! PERFECT JOB !!!! I've watched many videos but your one IS THE BEST !!!! CARRY ON and never stop ! the world need more people like you!!!! BLESS MAN ! PEACE !
Very good review. The light payload doesnt do this engine justice. A 420hp engine would had been a good option for this combination. I drove a timbertruck here in sweden 60ton grossweight with a 540 and that load suits it realy well. The 16.1L 550hp is the more affordable big volvo engine but it has 2900nm of torque instead of the 2600nm of the 540. The most common in the timberhauling is 540 and 750hp from my experience. I hope you get to try the 750hp truck someday.
I've just become a HGV driver and I like to watch these to have an idea of which trucks I may end up driving. Driven around 8 or 9 Mercedes Actros and a DAF XF so far. Looking forward to driving a Scania or a Volvo FH next!
Sorry to bother you but a quick correct for those that got confused. The design was made in 2012 not 2013. Thanks for the vid stavros, id like to see more volvo videos if you get a chance👍
Had a v8 600 actros before it was traded for one of these fh 540’s and have to say pulling power sucks compare to the v8 but the comfort is unreal 👍🏻 all round good truck. Well done Volvo 😁
Mien. I just love your energy and how you make things so simple to explain. But also how you go into details about how and why this part works with other parts of the truck 🚚
I just discovered your channel, and I really like the way you do these reviews. I enjoy every minute of it. Did you ever get to test the 750hp version?
nice .. i love truck too and good thing i found a one that review and test drive it .. hope you can review japanese made one specially the fuso super great thanks ..
Stavros will you anwer me one question please as your a professional driver a long time can i drive an artic tractor unit without a trailer on a full c license say if i wanted to hire out a tractor unit for the day to drive the kids around or do i have to do the artic test first and get the the full ce
another great video Stavros, nice job. Only found your channel about 5-6 week's ago and I have watched many many of your older video's in that time :) keep up the good work.
Chatta290 funny. I was going to say the same about how ugly these flat-nosed Euro trucks are. We had a flat-nosed eurostyle Freightliner for a few years but the ultimately preferred type of truck is the one with the snout. In the US, these are preferred because they are much easier to maintain and gain access to engine components. But I do think these flat-nosed designs are more appropriate for tight European roads. A large Freightliner, International, Volvo VNL, or Peterbilts could never make tight turns.
Juan Zingarello If you compare them they are worlds apart, American trucks are like euro trucks dating back many, many years with the nasty wood trims and the dials, sorry but I just think they should move with the times. But yes having a truck half the size of the trailers they tow would make the truck unsellable in the UK, trucks have a hard time already navigating around the country when off the motorway so any extra length would only be a major issue. It’s not just these trucks though, in the US everything is huge, buses, ambulances, fire engines etc.
The mode you call i-mode is actually called ecco roll, but who really cares. I love the video and the truck. I actually worked this summer on the production line here in Gothenburg where they put together the Volvo FM, FMX and FH. It was a great experience.
Drove a 2005 FH for my first year of driving artics but somehow have only driven scanias since, will always have a soft spot for the Volvo though. Just have that something extra.

God knows how i ended up here. I don't even have any interest in trucks in any shape or form, but enjoyed the videos anyway! Good work!
I saw a guy on tiktok and hes a trucker he has an american truck and i wanted to know wich is better
I was driving for 4 years by one of this truck, some years ago, before Covid. I had an I-Shift FH 460. I really enjoyed.

This is the best truck tutorial video I have seen.

With the name Stavros I was expecting a Greek guy. The Irish accent was a real WTF moment :)
@@stavros969 plz always reply in English we can't understand..
noor ali
Love your trucking videos
Way more comfortable than my house.
Michael Tjoeng it’s not really we have had it for a few weeks
@@Kieran-wi9xm Your comment is not clear. Are you saying the Volvo truck is not comfortable? Are you sure the one you have even has air ride?
Social Justice Warrior no like we had that exact lorry for a few weeks while our own was in for work
lmao
WELL DONE MATE !!! PERFECT JOB !!!! I've watched many videos but your one IS THE BEST !!!! CARRY ON and never stop ! the world need more people like you!!!! BLESS MAN ! PEACE !
I've been seeing this truck and didn't have any idea about it ....but with this video I feel I've learnt much ....thanks @stavros

Nice work lad keep them coming
Awesome.i like Volvo trucks
Again Stavros, 10/10 reviews on these Trucks. Are you planning on doing one on like a DAF, Mercedes or MAN soon?
Hi Levi hopefully sometime in the future, cheer's.

I know it’s the washer fluid there in the blue tank but I refer it as blinker fluid tank. Not everyone has it topped up and the indicators won’t work.
Great trucks...wish we got them here in the US
It’s beautiful subscribed
Like your video with Volvo.
The US doesn't get these Volvo FH trucks. What we do get is the V-Series with a large snout. Also a nice truck.
All American Trucks look ugly thanks to that ‘snout’. Their cabs are half the size of the trailers we have here. Simple a waste of space
