The Volvo FH was rated as a partner to the FH Aero tractor and the results verified very similar performance between the two vehicles. The FH is an excellent choice for a safe vehicle in the fleet long haul sector. Its direct vision is good for a tall cab, helped by the optional fit camera monitoring system. Combined with very good assistance systems, some of which are optional, they produce a good Safe Driving score. It achieves a very good score in Collision Avoidance, with every system Euro NCAP assess being available including automated braking to protect a cyclist where the truck turns across their path. As a highway truck, its good direct vision combined with very good AEB for vulnerable road users also earns the Volvo FH our CitySafe award alongside its 5 stars. It is an excellent choice for long haul operations that require occasional city deliveries, provided all the options are selected at purchase.

The Volvo FH has a very good Safe Driving performance. It is a tall truck which limits vision but this is mitigated by good window design and the optional camera monitor system to replace conventional class II/IV mirrors. An optional class V camera monitor system is available, which brings up a view of the nearside blind spot on a secondary monitor, whenever the direction indicators are activated. This improves the vision at the front corner, but duplicating the conventional mirror risks an increase in driver workload. Seat belt reminders are fitted to all seats, encouraging belt use. The attention assist system exceeds minimum legal requirements without excessive false alerts. A close following distance warning is available and the use of the ACC reduces the risk of front to rear collisions.
