Volvo FH62 Used Trucks - Current Offers for Sale

Chassis Architecture and Axle Configurations

Volvo FH62 utilizes a 6x2 axle layout tailored for regulated European markets, offering a balance between GCW flexibility and reduced driveline drag. The model is available with either pusher (mid-lift) or tag (rear-lift) axles. Tag axles provide high-speed stability and improved urban maneuverability through pneumatic lifting, with capacity options of 7.5, 9.5, or 10 tonnes and active/self-steered variants. Pusher axles, in fixed or steered formats (4.5, 7.5, or 9 tonnes), are dominant in markets requiring front-biased payload support. Adaptive Loading systems on pusher axles automatically retract them to optimize fuel efficiency and reduce rolling resistance.

Powertrain and Efficiency Packages

The range is powered by 12.8L D13K and D13TC diesel engines, with Turbo Compound tech integrated into the I-Save package. D13TC variants deliver up to 2600 Nm of torque with wave-shaped piston crowns for superior combustion. I-Save combines optimized engine mapping, I-Shift automated manuals (including Dual Clutch and Crawler Gear options), and I-See topographic cruise control, achieving up to 13% improved fuel efficiency (compared to pre-2019 models). Front axles are rated 7.1–10.0 tonnes; rear bogies support up to 23 tonnes, with single-reduction hypoid or hub-reduction axles for specialized traction needs.

Lightweight and Electromobility Variants

The FH 6x2 Lite pusher tractor targets minimum tare weight with a 4.5-tonne fixed axle, 17.5-inch wheels, composite front leafs, and aluminum chassis parts, saving up to 490 kg over standard 6x2 setups. For BEV models, a proprietary lightweight steerable tag axle allows up to eight battery packs (780 kWh) while maintaining fifth wheel height and 28-tonne payloads, supporting true long-haul zero-emission operation without compromising maneuverability.

Cabin, Driver Interface, and Advanced Safety

Cab options include Low Sleeper, Globetrotter, and extended XL/XXL variants, with interior heights up to 205 cm and added under-bunk storage. Generation 5 models offer a 12" digital cluster, 9" touchscreen, and redesigned I-Shift controller. Safety features include AEBS, Side Collision Avoidance, and a Camera Monitor System (CMS) replacing mirrors to reduce drag and enhance all-around visibility with real-time digital image processing and dynamic trailer tracking.
