VERDICT

The Volvo FH rigid was rated as a partner to the FH tractor and the results verified very similar performance between the 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.
