First Delivery of World’s Strongest Truck

The first customer of the Volvo FH16 700 truck, Tore Aase from Norway, has taken delivery of the first world’s most powerful truck in Tuve, outside Göteborg in Sweden, where the truck is built. The truck will be used in long-haul operations in the west of Norway, hauling equipment for the oil industry. The world’s most powerful truck, with 700 horsepower and a massive 3150 Nm of torque, is built for the most demanding haulage assignments, without increasing either its emissions or fuel consumption.

    Giant marine engines have even more Nm per bhp because they dont make more than 250 rpm.. You’ll have to see hp, torque AND rpm in the right perspective.

    I’m really curious about it to. Don’t hessitate to holler when…WHEN you test a FH700 so that I’ll get a first-hand-pro-trucker-evaluation! =)

  12. Well i guess better …
    Well i guess better just wait for the 700 and see how it goes then

  13. I’ve just checked …
    I’ve just checked up the Cummins Signature 600 engine and I don’t think that it’s very impressive. It has the same torq as my 480hp FH13 =) I can see that you think the FH540 is a tad tired if you’r using it as a Road Train (which are the coolest things out there!). The FH700′ll be sweet for that kind of work! =) I can also agree with you that Volvos cab suspension is abit hard when one leave the asphalt. Scanias cab suspension is way softer.

    I am actually currently driving a Brand new( well,08 model)Euro 5 FH16, 540 hp Volvo, and for the amount of weight we tow here in Australia,it’s no joy pulling up hills save for seat and cab suspension thus comfort and doesn’t stack up against American models….yes not even freightliners argosy running on detroit 60 which i loath…yet again i’ve come across a volvo Fh running on cummins sig..that was coool
