Volvo Trucks has launched its first special edition model in the UK & Ireland for five years with the Volvo FH Aero ‘Euro NCAP’ Special Edition – limited to only 30 examples.
Finished in a black, yellow and gold livery, the vehicle celebrates the five star rating secured by the FH Aero in last year’s Euro NCAP heavy-duty truck safety tests. The score reflects the truck’s performance on criteria such as driver support and collision avoidance, delivering enhanced traffic safety for the driver and surrounding road users.
The FH Aero also received Euro NCAP’s City Safe award, for trucks that feature technologies or good design that can prevent accidents that typically happen in cities or urban environments.
Hannah Mayo, Director of New Vehicle Sales for Volvo Trucks UK & Ireland, said: “Achieving five stars in Euro NCAP’s inaugural truck test was a significant milestone; we wanted to create a striking special edition model to help our customers stand out and demonstrate their commitment to safety.
“The FH Aero’s distinctive profile already ensures effortless cruising at high speed, great fuel efficiency, and a commanding view for the driver – now backed by independently proven safety credentials which are second-to-none.”
To achieve Euro NCAP’s highest five-star standard, Volvo’s new Camera Monitoring System, Predictive Cruise Control with Speed Adaptation, Volvo Dynamic Steering, Lane Change Support, Passenger Corner Camera, Passenger Side-Turn Emergency Brake and Headway Support are added to the factory-build specification.
The FH Aero Euro NCAP Special Edition will join a line-up of FHs that have earned ‘special edition’ status over the last decade. This includes the FH Unlimited Edition in 2020, which helped to raise money for the NHS during the pandemic; the FH ‘25 Year’ Special Edition, to mark the model’s quarter of a century anniversary in 2018; and the FH ‘Ailsa’ Edition in 2017, to celebrate 50 years of Volvo Trucks in the UK.
