The Volvo FH Aero, Volvo’s most fuel-efficient truck to date, has been named the winner of the 2025 Green Truck award. Combining advanced aerodynamics with an efficient powertrain, the FH Aero delivers significant fuel and CO₂ savings, as confirmed by independent testing.
Volvo FH Aero Crowned 2025 Green Truck for Exceptional Fuel Efficiency
Organised by German trade magazines Trucker and Verkehrs-Rundschau, the annual Green Truck test is a rigorous industry benchmark for fuel efficiency in long-haul trucks. The winning Volvo FH Aero features a 420hp D13 engine with Volvo’s I-Save package and the new Camera Monitor System, which enhances aerodynamics to improve fuel economy. In the test, it achieved an average fuel consumption of 21.2 litres per 100 km.
Jan Hjelmgren, Head of Product Management at Volvo Trucks, expressed pride in the results, stating: “It’s great to see independent testing confirm that the Volvo FH Aero delivers superior fuel efficiency, helping our customers save CO₂ and reduce operating costs daily. We will continue to drive innovation to further enhance fuel efficiency, benefiting both the climate and transport companies’ productivity.”
Volvo Trucks President Roger Alm highlighted this achievement as part of a remarkable streak: “With this Green Truck win, Volvo Trucks has a hat trick! We were the only brand to earn five stars in Euro NCAP’s first-ever truck safety test, became Europe’s top-selling heavy truck brand in 2024, and now the FH Aero has proven to be the most fuel-efficient truck in an independent test. I couldn’t be prouder!”
Introduced in early 2024, the FH Aero features a redesigned aerodynamic cab that cuts fuel consumption and emissions by up to 5% compared to the standard Volvo FH. The model lineup includes the FH Aero, FH Aero Electric, FH Aero gas-powered, and FH16 Aero. The diesel and gas-powered variants can operate on renewable fuels such as biogas, biodiesel, and HVO, significantly reducing CO₂ emissions.
