Volvo FH5 30 Year Edition v1.0 ETS2
The Volvo FH 30 Year Edition is a limited-edition truck released by Volvo Trucks to celebrate 30 years since the launch of the iconic Volvo FH model in 1993. This anniversary edition honors the FH’s enduring legacy of innovation, comfort, and safety.
Key Features and Highlights
Exclusive Design: This special edition often sports a unique metallic red paint scheme, commonly known as “Red Opaque,” which distinguishes it from regular models. It also incorporates exclusive graphics and badging. Models typically feature black accents, like a black piano finish on the grille, headlights, and fender details, emphasizing its luxurious and sporty look.
Enhanced Interior: The cabin prioritizes premium comfort and exclusivity. Expect high-quality materials, custom upholstery with unique stitching, and exclusive interior trim elements that differentiate it from standard FH variants.
Advanced Technology: These editions frequently include cutting-edge technological advancements from Volvo Trucks, such as:
Camera-based mirrors: These replace traditional side mirrors with cameras, enhancing visibility and reducing aerodynamic drag, thereby improving fuel efficiency.
Next-generation I-See system: This predictive cruise control technology utilizes real-time topographical data to optimize gear changes and speed for better fuel economy.
Pilot Assist system: An advanced driver assistance system that takes control in emergencies, such as if the driver becomes incapacitated.
Lane recognition and alert systems: Enhancing safety by notifying the driver of deviations.
Tire pressure and temperature monitoring system: Provides real-time information to drivers and fleet managers.
Some editions also come with amenities like an in-cabin microwave.
Performance: The 30 Year Edition models are usually based on powerful configurations of the FH, like the FH 500 (6×2) or FH 540 (6×4), providing robust performance for various transport tasks. They feature Volvo’s acclaimed I-Shift automated gearbox.
Limited Production: These editions are produced in small quantities, making them highly coveted by collectors and trucking enthusiasts. In Brazil, for example, only 60 units were made available (30 units of the FH 500 6×2 and 30 units of the FH 540 6×4). Argentina received an initial allocation of 30 units, with additional units due to high demand.
Significance
The Volvo FH has established itself as Volvo’s best-selling truck globally, with over 1.4 million units sold and more than 200,000 units in Brazil since its debut in 1994. The 30 Year Edition honors this remarkable legacy, showcasing the truck’s evolution in electronics, safety, fuel efficiency, and driver comfort. It exemplifies Volvo’s ongoing commitment to innovation in the heavy-duty transport industry.
This special edition was prominently featured at events such as Fenatran 2024 in Brazil, garnering significant industry attention. Many units reportedly sold out before the event even commenced, underscoring its popularity.
