Volvo's new cab

Although it doesnt look a much bigger cab !

FHX? like the new fmx they brought out■■?

glad to see the windscreen is more vertical too, but hope they are disguise panels on the mirrors or they will still have a bloomin great blind spot.

Is it a new volvo cab■■? Looks to me like a Renault premium/ Magnum.

Very nice, and very much a Volvo. Just look around the wheel arch and the disguised lines above the wheel arch down through the door. Also the panels running under the bumper and step. Very promising, if I were 12 I’d be clearing a prime space on my bedroom wall. …beside Cheryl Cole. And that one off of Stobart with her cream cakes.

I hope the seat goes back further than on the older versions. I don’t think I’ve ever got into an FH where the seat hasn’t already been all the way back. It just needs another 2" or 3" to be comfortable.

i personally think it looks more like a HINO artic

your right there went and looked at a new fh16 700 im 5ft 10 and my legs where almost touching the lower dash plus to be honest does not seem as roomey as the old fh’s , there is more room in a xf , so looks like its going to be a r730 or a xf 510

It looks like NOTHING because the guys arent stupid!

The masking tape etc is well thought out, to draw the eye the wrong way, same with the spot lights, pointless on a test truck but great for throwing the eye!!

I’ve seen it on the A45 near Wellingborough & doesn’t look all that revolutionary :frowning: just like an squared off FH) , the deep side windows look odd & unless the front panel is dummy the grille is very similar to the current model

Found more photo’s on lkw stefan web site.
I have also see a 4x2 righthand drive pulling a blue tautliner on the A500 at stoke.

Looks like he’s hung his bedsheets out to dry on the front of that one! :wink:

I’ve just come down the A7 near to Almeria and saw a similar truck pulling a 40ft Blue Container. About 40 mins later a Black and white one with “spots” (to disguise it) was a following, probably doing a A7/A91/A92 (Granada/Motril/Almeria) circuit where there are plenty of hills and not a lot of traffic and prying eyes. If you’re down that way keep your camera handy and your eyes peeled.

seen this today for the 2nd time between shrewsbury and welshpool 2nd time ive seen it there

looks like premium/actross to me with a little bit of man thru in

They can’t do too much individual styling without headlight units, radiator grilles, badges etc etc etc, all of which are missing or disguised on this prototype, therefore it looks like any other big de-badged/grilled/headlighted white metal/plastic box on the road today. When they’re ready for us to see it, I’m sure it’ll be the d’s b’s :wink:
