- In an Australian exclusive Brooksy takes the all-new Volvo FH XXL Cab on a six-day road trip from Roma to Darwin towing a 50-plus metre BAB quad road train.
To keep up with all the behind-the-scenes action find Mighty Machines TV on Facebook and Instagram!
I'm driving a 1996 FH16 Volvo in Tasmania, Australia with 1.8 million kilometres on the clock for Searoad Logistics. The drive train is all original with no rebuild on Volvo's own engine gearbox or axles. They're a bloody good truck 👍
Although I don't drive trucks, owning a Ford car with a Volvo engine, I have to admit they do a good job there.
5 cylinder I hope!!! 🙏🏻
This breed of knowledgeable, hardy Aussie drivers looks advanced in years , what is the industry doing to attract younger drivers who are equally passionate??
Spent most my childhood in a Volvo & saw a lot of Miles & smiles
My old man gave to me & Bro
Thanks Volvo & KEEP Trucking
Those Aussie drivers are a breed apart, brilliant.
Another Great video Steve ! After 50yrs in the trucking industry in the US iv'e seen huge advances in equipment over the years. All the manufacturers have made great contributions and advance's. I believe Volvo & Mack have been the cutting edge. It's easy to see Volvo's influence in the Mack's since taking them over. Iv'e seen many Australian Volvo & Mack videos with the 16L motor and it seems more than capable even with the heaviest of combinations. We had the 16L in North America for a few years but it seemed to be trouble prone and hard on fuel. In recent years they have replaced it in our market with Cummins for the above 500hp needs. Has the 16L we see in the AU has been an improved version it seems to be an amazing combination ether in Volvo or Mack when combined with the I or M'shifts. Thank You for making it possible for those of us who can't be there for the ride all experience to feel like we were !
They had problems with the manufacturing tolerances in the US when they started producing the engines there. They stopped supplying them eventually which i think was because of low demand. Both the D13 and D16 from Volvo are rock solid engines. They are famous for their reliability in both truck and marine applications.
The FH 700 is an amazing truck been pulling 175.ton with them for 7 years in Western Australia . Some have just hit 2 million km on them with same engine.
How much power/fuel does it take on average? There are no hills I suppose?
I highly doubt 2 million doing 175 tonne, ours are rebuilt at 700-900 kms or sold and they tow light triples. And yes plenty of hills just very long pulls up them
The Volvo will achieve them kms without rebuilding. It’s just the poxy Cummins that can’t. Remember pre emissions pre 2008 the C15 pissed it in pulling Qauds in the Pilbara.
That truck engine rebuild is around 1.8mil to 2mil has Volvo said last year to me
@@itsbfarmboy_3087 That doesn't surprise me - they have the longest lasting of all truck engines - incredibly durable
Used to drive a Volvo! Lovely motor! Been Oz too. Great country!
Volvo had the 16.1 here in the US. The only people who had problems with the 16.1, especially when hooked up to the I-Shift, thought that the I-Shift’s skipping gears was illegal, and would “finger f**k” the their tractors in the insane belief they knew better. The max horsepower available was 625/2323 ftlbs ~ 3150Nm here stateside. Our “ultra low sulfur diesel” has 15 PPM sulfur content, Europe’s diesel has 10 PPM. That has to be better for the engine(s) emissions systems.
Australia is beautiful one of this days I’ll visit that beautiful country .👍❤️
Do that, as it is outstanding😊
Watch out for drop bears while your here.
Big, BIG country. From Amsterdam to Moscow, and Hamburg to Jerusalem. Massive place. That's why the locals mostly use aircraft.
I lived on the 88x North American version of this truck powered by a Cummins ISX. The first 100k miles was a trial. The lighting computer went tits up in the middle of the Mojave. That was a long, expensive night. After that 550k trouble free miles. At 70k lbs it typically got around 7.5 MPG. Volvo NA makes a nice truck and they stand behind them. The Interstate has a HUGE sleeper too. Far more room than I needed and a bout 4 times the size of what you have on that unit. I leased mine on contract to a large LTL carrier. (Never again!)
I love Volvo for me the best truck in the world. Greetings from Uruguay
What a beautiful truck looks like it gave you a smooth drive
So I was driving a FH16 Volvo 600 pulling a 60m 214 ton quad. Great truck. Excellent driver ergonomics. Puts every US truck to shame especially Kenworth.
I operate a 2016 T880 Kenworth. What a piece of crap.
I’ve driven KW (Pete’s as well). Both conventional and COE. Leg cramps in the Old “Large Cars”. Back aches in the COE. Bad impressions from American designs, they’re crap. Owned a 2011 VNL 780 for a while. It was a former CRST tractor that hadn’t been treated well but gave me no real problems. I’d love to own another Volvo, just wish I could get an FH 16 750 6x4 XXL here stateside.
@@chrisatkins7959
Are you married to the Kenworth or why do you keep on operating that old shed ?
@@bendermi Company driver. No choice. I’m home daily so at least I don’t have to live in it.
@@chrisatkins7959
So you’re owned by a company and you don’t have the money to buy your freedom ?
They have certainly conquered the world with there trucks. Australia certainly utilise every type of vehicle and manufacturer to there advantage. By the time you go through a manual box, you are already down the road with a Volvo I-shift. Ego aside for us men and enjoy
Impressive equipment impressive commitment impressive drivers bar none
Living in Holland, a country half the size of Tasmania....such a video is like looking at another planet.....
William Drijver Some places out there are like being on another planet, to drive from Sydney to the capital city of Western Australia (Perth) is about four and a half thousand kilometres by road. I've done the trip eleven times, twice by motorbike and it never gets boring, driving to Darwin as this guy did is even more interesting. Don't worry though, you can still get salted liquorice here. ;-)
@@TheTripleDubya Add some stroopwafels and it's perfect! ;-)
Got them too !
Volvo FH16 my fave truck although here in Europe this is now a FH16 750HP
Well I have to admit that I never knew that Volvos were built here in Aus. I drove a FL6 for a year or more (a ridged with a fridge on the back). The sleeper was great except for the fact it was right above the motor and turbo (okay in winter but,,,). I would say it was a very very forgiving truck. The things that I witnessed its owner doing were beyond at times were beyond description ( as a truck driver he was a great market gardener ). With Volvos synchro version of a road ranger he would "flat change" it while I shuddered But it took it, it stood up to it and I could never say a thing against a Volvo driveline.
Sure wish they’d sell this in the USA. For what we do it would be great to have the turning radius and it looks so much better than the North American volvos.
Get yourself to a dealer in Canada . Next year its gonna be marketed there .. Built in NC too .. which is kinda strange.
@@smudgealdrin1512 thanks. Very interesting.
Im a hauler from back in the day my first truck was a kenworth bullnose the north american trucks where way better than the european trucks we had only daycabs the bullnose was a sleeper ive been driving for 40 years now as a roadtrain driver and 58 total as a hauler
Back in the day American truck all the way but know the europeans just improved im driving a scania S torpedo in Australia beautiful truck 12 speed v8 730 hp 16 liter engine can haul everything
@@hmadbnibouach627 But even back in the day .. American trucks were Australianised & were very very different animals to what you get plodding along i40 in the US . Same is still the truth today with US & euro trucks used on the long haul. A stock US or euro truck without Australian mods would last 5 mins in the scrub.
Finally, something built in Australia for Australia. Great job Volvo!
Finally... since 1972. Kenworth designed and built here since 1971. Mack since 1963. WTF finally...
Did that trip out of Gladstone Queensland,3 days only drove during the day,to much wildlife during the night.See some funny sights,especially tshirts on termite mounds everywhere
This old fella is exactly what i want a tv host for top gear to be.
Damn!!! Now that's a truck!! I bicycle toured around Australia for 6 months about 25 years ago, but never saw one of these rigs.
Surprised. Have you really been Down Under?🤔😂😂
You wouldn't be riding a bike where those trucks are driving
How did you manage to avoid seeing a road train?
European truck is about power comfort and safety. 😍
That is a awesome truck keep on trucking...
Great footage! Impressive truck.
@Cloud Burst 117 😂
Looks comfy AF. Super quiet in the cab at 100km/h. Would feel like driving a car. You would jump out alot less fatigued after a long haul than some of these other farm trucks on the road. One please Mr Volvo ☝️
I’d love to drive one of those trains you got down there
Biggest combos I’ve ever driven is a super b quad tri set up and a , a combo road train maybe one day might get my arse in something like that even just for a drive .
Nice to see that you have got some roads out there that actually have tarmac on them. Nice truck thought .🇬🇧
WinterBornActual watch some Australian programs and see for yourself. Talk about bloody ignorant.
See the way she was ripping up the Miles Just sat there Clearly see even at full weight She is more than happy to Rip all 4 Trailer's Down the Road Clearly see that this guy is In love with this Truck .
Volvo are very well regarded here in the U.K
That's a great video with lots of very useful information and not only but also very professionally done...thanks for the great video and very professional review of this truck and keep safe on the road 👍
You guys are so lucky, that is my dream job. I'd love to drive a road train.
Seen the bull bars and windscreen protection? There are BIG kangaroos out there.
@@jackmorgan1677 yeah but I'd still love to do it
It gets boring. To me it feels like driving any other truck.
@@davidwolff8903 yeah I bet it's like most things, do it everyday you get used to it. But I just love driving.
The FH16 XXL and K200 are the two best trucks in Australia by a mile
Swedish power.with the beautiful aussie touch
Awesome machine love trucking(Volvo)
Good video. It's a pity you still have to go out to Morven to hook up the full rig. Surely now the Toowoomba bypass is open, you should be able to hook it up at least there. Look at Townsville... triples and quads right to the port... Wake up Qld Transport.
i love Volvo Truck.. Great video
I would really love to see the cabovers back in the USA.
Испытываю к вам уважение товарищ шофёр👍👍👍
Beautiful country. Would love to try out a Road Train someday!
There are many roadkill
I love this country australia and the volvo truck
This combination is as long as my hometown !
Road trains can get even longer too, largest I've seen is an 8 plus dog, there's a second engine in a trailer to help push along. Mostly mine roads but a few public roads get those, Carpenteria Highway gets them between MacArthur river mine and Bing Bong port north of King Ash bay.
My two fav things Volvo and Australia but this test didn’t take in the dirt tracks like the macs on outback truckers I’d love to see how it handles there also I’d love to know how much fuel was used for the trip he didn’t give half the details he could of
BRISBANE TO TOOWOOMBA WELL THAT IS LONG HAUL WOW I AMAZED
really awsome to see those kinda trucks hauling, thats my dream job, but mabye a dream is just a dream, got a long way to climb
Jörgen Karhapää dude you got this bro its never too late fam! I love you dude just fucking send it like a boss

Sweden is great🇸🇪💪😎
Volvo has come a long way in Oz, Finally
When Steve Grahame Outback Trucker gets one,
it will be accepted as a Aussy classic .
@@mtl-ss1538 I wouldn't go that far haha
Now we just need the VNL
The previous model XXL was bigger in the bunk and 700hp was 700hp, not the 500 that it feels like now. Volvo have always been funny like that, sometimes you'd get a 540 that'd make a 600 blush. I once had a 610 that would trounce the old 660, it's just a Volvo thing.
@@TheTripleDubya we have two of the older 480's and a new(er) 540. The old 480's pull better
Never been and never will, but good on you Australia.
Looks great on the blacktop, I wonder how it would go on the Tanami or Great Central HWY?
I was surprised at the trailer configuration.
Trailer-dog-b-double-dog-trailer?
Recently I travelled central Au, part on the Stuart highway, saw triple axle tractor + dogs, five trailer ore haulers, largest extended bed (length and width), self levelling high load carrying oversize and others. There's a good mix out there.
I was surprised by that as well, made no sense to me. I'm an American trucker we don't do road trains like that but we do do doubles and in some states triples. Don't know your terms, so a dog is anything with a 5th? I'd call that a semi trailer - dolly, and I guess a B triple. What I don't understand is why the trailer and dolly at the front, the B-triple, the last three trailers are more stable, I'd put the dolly/trailer combo at the back. I'd hook it up as the two B trailers, then a long box, dolly, and long box.
@@snek9353 yes, I'm referring to a dog as trailer with 2 (or more) axles with a 5th wheel and A-frame.
And yes, putting the more stable b-doubles up front seems the sensible thing to me.
I'm not a trucker tho. Engineer who takes an interest.
@@LatinDanceVideos it's because it's more stable that you put it at the back. You don't want the unstable trailer in the unstable spot.
As for notation that is an ABB quad. It has an A coupling (drawbar) between the first and second trailer, then two B couplings (turntable), and there are 4 trailers all up.
It is not the most common type of quad usually you see AAB quads for highest possible weights or BAB quads for joining two B trains without shuffling in the yard. But this way is the most stable way for the trailers he has.
@@mabamabam "don't want the unstable trailer in the unstable spot."
- Interesting I hadn't considered that, I'd have though that the instability of the A would transfer down the rest of the trailers making stability worse. You're saying putting the Bs at the back makes the A and thus the rest more stable?
I notice also that in all your examples the last connection is a B, is that law or standard practice or something?
We never got past the sales pitch to hear about the heart of this thing, the power train!??
that'd be nice to know for sure.
700HP Volvo turbo diesel with an I13 transmission. It was on the screen for about 15 seconds.
16 liter inline 6 probably with I-Shift transmission.
@@darenzy The D13 engine is the biggest we see here in the US & I think that is 500hp max. They must have a bigger engine that we don't get.
@@nzsaltflatsracer8054 Cause all you do is light hauls or your regular American trucks would break in half
What a great video
Nice piece of truck will handle tough job on road 👌😉👍
The problem with australia and these Volvo’s are yes the new ones you can raise the bed head, but you’re still got your head down hill and if you face the other way there is a gap in the mattress right in your shoulders.
The reason for this they are designed for opposite camber driving on the right hand side of the road.
3 000 newtonmeters? That's not pulling my leg, that's pulling the entire building I'm in.
I think the biggest test is to send on a run at to the stations collecting cattle
Travis Parks Won’t make it out, all those computing parts will fall apart in the dirt
@@Appydem it would not. You do know we use this truck in mines here in sweden right? Wher they live their entire Life in a dusty enviroment

@@Appydem I know thats why said it
@@oneb7482 I know buddy, I worked out there
4:06 retro truck train?
wonderful,
where is it exhibited?
I don't know about that one but there's a good transport museum in Alice Springs that had some interesting machines.
Imagine reversing one of those
Australia world's heaviest trucks, world's heaviest trains USA world's heaviest truck drivers
Check out, our iron ore trains Western AUSTRALIA.
There’s a video of an American trucker secretly making fun of a rather fit (prolly Eastern European) trucker doing some impressive stretches before getting on the road for the day. My thought was “heavy trucks, heavier truck driver”
I spent 10 years total on the road here in the US plus a year and a half in the Oil Fields. 4 years of that time spent pulling doubles. I admit to a certain fondness for Cabovers. I only wish this video included information on the engine and transmission used.
This is totally a world away from anything you might know as 'cabover' as you call them in the US. Chalk and Cheese come to mind..to us their just normal trucks..
This is Volvo's European big hitter - it will def have the big 16.2 litre D16 in it at whatever power rating. Top rating in Europe is 750hp and 2620 lbs/ft torque
@@garethifan1034, also known as Cab Over Engine design. That flat face (or mostly flat). Earlier models/versions had what was called a Dog House or Engine Cover between the seats that had to be climbed over to reach the sleeper. The Freightliner Argosy was the first to my knowledge with the engine shifted to do away with the Dog House and so offer a flat floor. That shorter wheelbase possible with a cabover makes for much better maneuverability. And in my opinion the visibility is much better that way as well. The very first truck I drove that had air ride suspension was a Volvo/White conventional.
@@draconusspiritus1037 Cheers bud.
It's all we have in the UK..and even then, it's almost impossible to get to some places, so this design is the only practical option for us. Mind you these days the trucks are superbly comfortable with standing room inside the cabs and a great air suspended ride.
Regards
Gareth Ifan nope sorry they don’t sell the 750hp in australia, we only have the 700hp with 3550nm of torque. It features the I shift 13 speed automatic gearbox with hd software and 2 crawler gears. It’s not a bad gearbox or set up but with a triple on your struggle to be in 12 gear (top gear) and drops back to 11 as sometimes it doesn’t have enough power to maintain holding 12 gear with a slight headwind.
@@itsbfarmboy_3087 That's very interesting to hear..sounds like thy could develop the I-Shift to a 15 speeder for Aus work..another world down there! Maybe the other answer could be to fit a 15/18 speed Fuller in it..though i would hate to see that done to such a refined and modern truck as the FH. We've the latest 750's here..but they're either owner driver flagships or involved in Heavy Haulage work. Regards
Great video and to me the volvo fh13 is the best and nixe truck i ever bin drivin !!!
They moswell go 6 trailers at 70m only straight roads an no hills . I've seen roadtrain drivers come to nz an freak out cause the hills and narrow roads freaks them out
just like snow and ice would bother Kiwi lads
Best looking truck out there :)
I'm a driver in America and I'd love to drive a road train that cab looks a bit small compared to my truck but I'd still love to experience the road trains I'm always up for a good challenge lol
We are still very Kenworth for long haul, but the Euros are making am impact. Problem is delivery from sale. If you are buying 25 new trucks Kenworth can't supply that many quickly. So you buy a few kens a few WS a few volvos etc.
Kenworth are a bit of a pain for anything over a single trailer as the 12v system needs to be upgraded to 24v so it also adds cost.
@@thebaconsonful What's the reason for KW not having switched to 24v in Australia?
Dont be stupid it was actually designed in gothenburg
the XXL Cab Is built in Umeå (north of Sweden) cab factory on the same robot line as all the European trucks, I actually designed the Steel body
Is Gothenburg where Batman lives ?

@@davidwolff8903 glorified cattle truck.
Very interesting. I want to visit Australia and see those trains. Do all of the trailers have brakes? Or, just some of them
All. Any of them can be towed as a single or in any legal combination with other trailers.
Every axle has a drum or disc brake on them , all air !!
This man sounds like a British Sir who moved to Texas :D
As an american. at least in my area road trains are illegal. So to hear that this truck is hauling 120 tons, DAMN that is impressive. Here are trucks are limited to 60tons and the max trailers is those fed ex trucks that are using 2 short trailers connected..
I figured the union made sure hauling cargo was never about efficiency in north america, but the goal was to employ more drivers. The smaller the load and more steps there would be in the process, the better.
I'm guessing that's short tons? In that case it would be 54,5 tons.
@@AlexKall correct. 80-90% of bridges here top out at 60 american tons. huge cities and major routs have heavier bridge but most don't bother
I drove a few years Volvo FH13, 440, I-Shift across Europe but only with one 13.6m trailer. Would like to try some day, what is it like to drive such a road train?
Pain in the arse... love it!
Wish Volvo bring that truck in the US.
Don't you like the VNL?
@@hejamodo No, very poor quality. I like Volvo, but there is no quality in this truck here in the US. Take 3 hour to build a Volvo VNL860. It is a mass production truck. The Volvo trucks in Europe has a much better quality control.
@@hunzolee OK, to bad. I personally favor Scania, but Volvo does make a decent truck in Europe.
@@hejamodo I do too, the 80' and 90' Volvo F 12 F16 or the Scania 143 Topline.
@@hunzolee Cool trucks, but as a tool for work I like the Next Gen Scania. Much nicer on the road than Volvo.
I live right down the road from the factory on the opposite side of the highway
Star Simulation best story ever
Nice trucks but the sell on the sleeper space is a joke vs the equiv K200, I drive a half-sleeper FM and if it weren't for the TV and lack of rear window (I love my rear window) you'd be struggling to pick the two apart...
It's basically the equivalent of a triple road train however the 2 B trailers make it more stable.
Its economics 2 b,doubles out of Brisbane verses 3 singles to hookup ares 1 less truck
Wonderful!
Could u make the gearbox a dual clutch and satellite navigation the cab should be a highline cab
Dose it have a fridge?
Yep standard
is this better than Kenworth in Australia?
Top job!!
Not being sarcastic, I'd love to be a long haul trucker in the ozzie outback. It looks like a kind of gritty paradise.
Gritos Incoherentes .Wait for the wet season mate, you’ll wish you never set eyes on the place. Not to mention corrugated roads and the resultant blown tyres, bushfires aren’t much fun either. Wandering stock will also have the potential to cause serious damage to your rig. Last but not least the biggest threat to trucks is car drivers and grey nomads who will try and pass with car and caravan at the stupidest places imaginable. It’s a fantastic country buddy but as with everything it has it’s fors and againsts, and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else on this planet.👍👍👍🇦🇺
They were actually driving on good roads which are not the same all over.
Are they empty
As a driver Can’t say I’m sold at all. What I wanted to know is how big is the bed? Does it have a fridge freezer? Does it have a microwave ? What’s the cab storage like don’t just say it stick a tape measure in it. What’s the noise reduction like in the cab if you get a fridge van pull up along side? Does it have a bunk aircon?
Yes to all the above. King single bed you just flip seat forward and it pulls out from the wall. They have many other options to add like cappuccino machine etc best truck out of all the models I've driven. Super quiet sound insulation. Storage is excellent with 4 cupboards all up high enough for 5 sports bags to be unloaded. Partition section to unload you groceries neatly. External tool boxes are big enough for 4 bunnings baskets each. Plenty of dash storage like logbook draw glove compartments all line with no slip surface. select what air-conditioning you want at purchase also, seen icebox, waico etc I personally have a 24v battery system with intelligent charging so always have 18hours of cooling at 16deg every break. But honestly I've had a 24hour with truck and still running strong at hour 26 at 16deg when I finally rolled away and battery level showed charged 6hours in

GLOBETROTTER ALWAYS LOOK GOOD BEHIND TOWTRUCK LOL ALWAY SEE ONE BEHIND ONE
Its a very nice truck but I was expecting to see a truly XXL cab... not like american trucks but something similar to Scania´s Longline.
Jose Ortega yuck
The Longline was not a standarn cabin. It was a speacial one only made a short time. The XXL cabin is the biggest Volvo makes. Scania has a similar one.
Jose Ortega .why would you want that when the Volvo’s cab is so compact. Do you want an ensuite?
@@tonybrowne7220 First of all let me state that I´m not a Trucker, just a lifelong admirer of trucks and the men and women who drive them, so my appreciations lack hands-on real-world experience. That being said, my thinking is that in Europe the short cabs make sense because there are lots of tight places where trucks have to go and an american style of cabs would be a disadvantage, now, I also think that drivers spend lots and lots of hours in their trucks, so they should be as comfortable and spacious as possible, then, in my opinion Australia is more akin to the US in terms of big open spaces, long hauls and the corresponding days and days on board a truck, so a long truck would not represent a disadvantage and it would improve on the trucker´s life on the road. You could say "Well, just go buy a KW K200 if that´s what you want", yeah maybe, and the K200 is one of my favorites, but I also like the design and engineering of European trucks, so for me, a Volvo with an american style sleeper would be just about perfect. Greetings from Mexico!
@@lancerwrc68 In europe you are not allowed to live in your truck, and I think it is the same in Australia, after so and so manny hours of driving, you have to go home or in a hotel for some days to rest.
Everything tracks well when most of it is new
@@WinterBornActual Where did that come from.
Impressive in every way except the tight spartan cabin. Drivers doing those distances deserve a better space to recharge. Just my two cents.
Agreed
I only came to the comments to write exactly the same.
Also, I think It should have more power to be pulling of 120t
@ Rao I just like your. tactical shirt's.
Great truck...
Get a script writer. I learnt nothing about the truck, its engineering, handling, equipment, gearbox, features in the bunk...all I'm told continually its a 'great truck'. Loads of repetitious empty opining, but no details. Lift the hood, talk about the engine, show us the dash layout and controls, show us the features of the bunk area...sheesh.
Dagwould well said
you heard of google?
@@stuarth43 It's supposed to be a review. As it is the video is nothing more than a cut down travelogue & Volvo promo. You shouldn't have to go elsewhere to look for the details that should have been included or shown in the video.
True that
Couldn't pay me enough to get back into a cabover, if you call that a big sleeper you might need to look at a few other trucks!
