The Volvo FM is a heavy truck range produced by the Swedish company Volvo Trucks .
The engines power rating span from 250 PS (184 kW) to 420 PS (309 kW) in the initial release.
D7A -> 203 PS (149 kW)
D7C -> 250–290 PS (184–213 kW)
D10B -> 320–360 PS (235–265 kW)
D12C -> 380–420 PS (279–309 kW)
D7C is a further development of D7 generation of engines, however major difference between the latter is the increase of engine capacity from 6.7 litres to 7.3 litres due to an increase in stroke and cylinder diameter. Engine management EDC also received the upgrade to bring it inline with the rest of the "family" and be TEA 98 compliant. Introduction of D12C engine had created all new beast in its class thanks to its extra power and powerful engine brake which were only available previously in the FH class saw operators with an option of smaller cab but still capable long haul unit particularly with globetrotter cab and indeed FM12 did steal some sales from its bigger brother the FH12.
In 2001 FM series underwent major revision in conjunction with FH series. Among changes resulted were 7- and 10-litre engines being dropped and replaced by an all-new 9-litre D9A engine and introduction of a new automated gear-change transmission I-Shift and new passive safety feature FUPS F ront U nderrun P rotection S ystem, designed to prevent smaller vehicles from being "under run" or wedged under front of the truck in an event of frontal collision.
The new D9A engine developed on the basis of D12 with single overhead camshaft and four valves per cylinder and electronic unit injectors followed with a new design feature for Volvo, timing gears at the flywheel side (rear) of the engine, design which will later become standard across entire Volvo truck engine range. D9A power output varies from 300–380 PS (221–279 kW) and torque of 1400-1700 Nm respectively. Introduction of I-Shift was the end for the Geartronic (AGS) and its shortcomings, however the I-Shift was designed to be what it was, whereas the Geartronic was a modification to an existing manual transmission. In 2003, the FM12 with 460 PS (338 kW) D12D was launched as a new version of the Powertronic automatic transmission.
The evolution of Volvo FM series continued in 2005 with the release of a new generation of FM trucks powered by an all-new 13-litre D13A engine and improved 9-litre D9B unit and the second-generation I-Shift transmission.
Power outputs available from 360 PS (265 kW), 400 PS (294 kW), 440 PS (324 kW) and 480 PS (353 kW).
The engines are available in slightly reduced power output ranging from 360 PS (265 kW), 400 PS (294 kW), 440 PS (324 kW) and 500 PS (368 kW) however 500 PS (368 kW) option is only available for FH series.
Volvo Truck Corporation had announced a new version of an engine the D11B available in two power outputs 390 PS (287 kW) and 430 PS (316 kW) as well as new safety features such as Driver Alert Support monitor, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Lane Changing Support, Cornering lights and Rain detection windscreen wipers.
There is an electric version that has a range of 450 km (280 mi), that is sold along with the new FH electric . The EV version has a more closed-up grille compared to the conventional internal combustion version.
