Volvo FH and FM will help keep the troops happy
The latest improvements to the Volvo FH cab, together with the introduction of a new high-roof option on the FM, provide fleet operators with a brace of trucks that will help them retain driver loyalty.
From our perspective, having driven the new FH, the interior changes answer most, if not all of the criticisms levelled at the previous model by drivers and operators alike - including the lack of storage space in the dash, and not enough room for drivers when standing up and moving around the cab.
The FH's revised dashboard comes with a large storage drawer and cubby holes for odds and ends, plus a USB port and Bluetooth phone connections, while the centre section of the reworked front overhead locker unit has been hollowed out so a standing driver can turn around without hitting his shoulder on the cupboards.
