Wresting the title away from Scania's R620, with its 6 l2hp(457kW)and3,0(X/Nm, the Volvo FH16 660 offers 650hp(485kW)and3.100Nm. And in a sign that even more power could be obtained, the power curve is unusually flat, featuring a plateau from 1,5001,80Orpm.The flat top of the torque curve is even wider, extending from 1..000-1,450rpm.
In a supporting role is the FHI6 580. with vital statistics of 571hp (426kW) and 2,800Nm at the same engine speeds. Both new models meet Euro-4 from the outset.
The standard transmission on the 660 is the I-Shift automated 12-speeder, while the 580 has a manual 14-speed splitter/rangechange gearbox. With the arrival of these 16-litre engines 1-Shill will now be available as an option on the full Volvo range of tractor units.To keep all this power in check. the optional VEB (Volvo Engine Brake) has been given a 15% power boost. to 570hp (425kW) at 2.100rpm.
Although the FH16 660 is obviously designed for arduous operations at 60 tonnes in Northern Europe. no doubt there will he a few on UK general haulage by the year's end.
Orders are being taken; production will start in June.
