Volvo Trucks is strengthening the Volvo FH offer by introducing a new heavy duty bumper. The reinforced front makes the truck more suitable for rugged roads and rougher applications, such as construction work and timber transports. The Volvo FH with heavy duty bumper will be unveiled at the Intermat exhibition in Paris on April 20- 25. "The Volvo FH with heavy duty bumper boosts the usefulness of our flagship truck by adding protection to its outstanding power, driving dynamics and cab comfort. The truck becomes robust enough to better tackle conditions where there is an increased risk of damage," says Ricard Fritz, Vice President Volvo Trucks Brand. The new heavy duty bumper for the Volvo FH is based on the same engineering concept as the front of the Volvo FMX, which is designed for rough construction environments. The corners and skid plate are made of 3 mm steel. A fixed footstep above the skid plate is integrated into the design.
