Volvo Trucks unveils 100-Year Edition FH and FH Aero
Volvo Trucks has unveiled a special 100-Year Edition of its FH, FH16, FH Aero and FH16 Aero tractor units ahead of the Volvo Group’s centenary celebrations in 2027.
Designed to celebrate a century of innovation while highlighting the company’s Swedish heritage, the Volvo 100-Year Edition combines distinctive exterior styling with an upgraded interior focused on driver comfort, ambience and premium finishes.
The centenary edition will be available to order from September 2026 and can be specified in most of the driveline and chassis configurations currently offered for the Volvo FH and Volvo FH Aero.
The launch follows a series of updates to Volvo Trucks’ electric, diesel and gas powertrains, designed to improve performance, driving range, energy efficiency and power across its model range.
Jonathan Disley, Design Director at Volvo Trucks, says: “The 100-Year Edition truck is a celebration of what we have achieved so far over the past century, and it is a very special truck in more ways than one. The interior is both modern and premium, as well as an homage to Volvo’s history. The design was inspired by our Swedish heritage and the professionalism that comes from years of innovation and progress, alongside our customers’ trust and passion.”
Volvo 100-Year Edition focuses on driver comfort
Inside the cab, the Volvo 100-Year Edition features redesigned seats with a new two-tone concept, premium leather seat bases and an embroidered anniversary motif. Tan leather detailing complements the exterior paintwork and its distinctive striping.
The special edition also introduces illuminated doorsteps, while LED strips integrated into the console can provide either red or white ambient lighting. A welcome light featuring the anniversary motif is projected onto the ground outside the truck whenever the door is opened.
The anniversary design features throughout the cab, including on the new 3D-printed speaker grilles. The curtains showcase a line-up of Volvo truck models from the past 100 years, providing another visual connection with the manufacturer’s heritage.
A thicker and more luxurious black and grey floor mat, complete with tan leather labels, further contributes to the premium feel of the interior.
“This special edition represents the peak of Volvo’s truck design and manufacture over the past century: the result of 100-years’ worth of continual improvement in safety, quality, driver comfort, productivity, fuel efficiency and emissions saving,” says Jan Hjelmgren, Head of Product Management at Volvo Trucks.
Volvo celebrates 100 years of truck innovation
The Volvo FH has recently benefited from significant powertrain developments across its electric, gas and diesel variants, reinforcing Volvo Trucks’ strategy of offering operators a broad range of powertrain technologies as the industry moves towards lower emissions.
Safety remains another key part of the FH’s development. The model has consistently performed strongly in Euro NCAP truck safety testing, with several configurations achieving top marks in their respective segments.
The Volvo 100-Year Edition therefore provides more than a cosmetic celebration of the company’s history. Its introduction reflects the development of the FH over decades, combining Volvo’s latest technology with design cues intended to recognise the brand’s heritage.
The new model joins a growing collection of Volvo special editions, including the Volvo FH 25-Year Special Edition, the Volvo FH Aero Euro NCAP Special Edition and the Volvo Ocean Race Limited Edition.
With orders for the Volvo 100-Year Edition opening in September 2026, the special edition is set to provide operators and drivers with an opportunity to mark Volvo’s centenary while benefiting from the latest generation of FH technology, comfort and efficiency.
To register interest in the Volvo 100-Year Edition, customers should contact their preferred Volvo Trucks dealer.
