Feature: "It’s like driving a car"

When Volvo Trucks launched the world’s strongest series-manufactured truck, the Volvo FH16 700, Tore Aase of Norway quickly placed an order and became the first customer in the world to take delivery of the brand-new model. He has now driven the truck in regular operations for about six months. “I’m delighted with it. It’s possible to maintain a steady, high speed with a full load even on steep gradients,” says Tore Aase, who hauls heavy loads from Stavanger on the demanding, hilly Norwegian west coast.
