Historical Background

The Volvo FH range was introduced in 1993 as Volvo Trucks’ flagship long-haul tractor unit, designed to offer improved driver comfort, fuel efficiency and high-load performance for international freight operations. Over successive generations, the FH series has become one of the most widely used heavy goods vehicle platforms in Europe, known for its reliability, advanced safety systems and strong engine performance. The FH12 designation refers to earlier versions equipped with a 12-litre engine, widely used throughout the 1990s and early 2000s in general haulage and specialist transport roles.

Cattle trucks play a vital role in the agricultural supply chain, transporting livestock such as cattle between farms, markets and processing facilities. These vehicles are designed with ventilation, secure loading systems and carefully engineered suspension to ensure animal welfare during transit. Across the UK and Europe, Volvo FH tractor units are commonly used in livestock haulage due to their strength, stability and suitability for long-distance rural transport operations.
