The Volvo FH12-16 I Generation showcases the inaugural model of Volvo’s prominent heavy-duty truck lineup, the FH series, manufactured between 1993 and 1998. Renowned as a revolutionary vehicle, it was awarded the “International Truck of the Year” in 1994.

In Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2), the first-generation Volvo FH is a favored choice for mods. Since it isn’t a part of the default truck lineup (which leans towards contemporary European models), the modding community has developed numerous high-quality, standalone versions.
These mods resonate with players who:
Value classic trucks: They offer a nostalgic and distinct driving experience, setting them apart from the modern trucks available in the base game.
Enjoy customization: Many mods provide extensive customization options, including various chassis and engine configurations, authentic paint schemes, interiors, and accessories.
Desire realism: Modders often strive for perfection, incorporating realistic engine sounds, gearboxes, and handling dynamics that mirror the original truck.
