Nearly a year after it was launched, the Volvo FH has picked up the title of International Truck of the Year – the award voted on by commercial vehicle journalists throughout Europe.
Summing up the jury vote, International Truck of the Year chairman Gianenrico Griffini commented: "Volvo Trucks has delivered a completely new heavy-duty truck, which, with its innovative cab, hi-tech driveline components and advanced maintenance solutions, sets a new benchmark in the automotive industry."
This is the third time that the Volvo FH has won the International Truck of the Year award, as it also won in 1994 and 2000.
"We are honoured and happy," said Claes Nilsson, president of Volvo Trucks on accepting the award.
"When we introduced the new FH in September 2012, we claimed that it was pushing the envelope of what a premium truck could offer. The International Truck of the Year award confirms that the Volvo FH lives up to this promise."
