Volvo FE280 Used Trucks - Current Offers for Sale

Powertrain and Emission Control

The Volvo FE280 is equipped with the 7.7L D8K engine rated at 280 hp, distinguished by a variable geometry turbocharger and an electronic EMS for precise fuel and air management. This engine platform offers significant low-end torque for optimized urban drivability and supports HVO synthetic diesel (EN15940) without hardware modifications. Emission control is managed by an integrated system consisting of EGR, DPF with automatic regeneration, and SCR, enhancing efficiency and meeting strict Euro 6 standards. A dedicated 9L CNG engine and full-electric variant are available for urban fleets, but the D8K diesel remains the mainstream choice in regional logistics.

Transmission and Chassis Configurations

The FE280 offers the I-Shift 12-speed AMT (AT2412) for GCW up to 44t, featuring software packages for urban distribution, construction, or fuel economy (Eco-Roll). Allison AL306 6-speed full automatic is available for heavy stop-start applications, while ZF 6- and 9-speed manuals remain for specialist needs. Primary chassis options include 4x2, 6x2 (with fixed or electro-hydraulically steered tag axle), in both 18–19t and 26t GVW. The modular frame supports multiple body types, aided by air suspension with dashboard or remote ride height control and 7.1–9t front axle ratings. Braking uses discs all round, full EBS, ESC, and Hill Start Aid.

Cab Variants and Digitalization

Four cab types are available: Day, Comfort, Sleeper (with 2200mm length and full-size bed), and the Low Entry Cab (LEC) optimized for refuse and city safety. The LEC includes a kneeling function (instep at 440mm), flat floor, foldable passenger door, and can accommodate a crew of up to four in walk-through design. All FE280 cabs feature digital instrument clusters with configurable layouts, integrated smart tachograph 2, and full connectivity via Volvo Connect for real-time fleet monitoring and remote diagnostics.

Safety and Regulatory Systems

Safety technologies include VDS with up to 75% steering effort reduction, directional stability at speed, and emergency intervention functions. Compliance with GSR II brings Front Short Range Assist, Side Collision Avoidance, Intelligent Speed Assist, and TPMS as standard. The FE280 exceeds typical EU crash standards, with advanced sensor suites and high-strength steel cab construction, positioning it at the forefront of medium-duty truck safety.
