Volvo F10, F12 & F16 1983-93

This tenth book in the ‘at work’ series picks up where Volvo F10 & F12 1977-83 (published in 2013) left off. Following the raging success of the original F10 & F12, Volvo launched heavily updated models in 1983. Little went untouched with cabs, chassis, suspension, engines, gearboxes and axles all revised to keep pace with the competition. Improvements were such that the newly intercooled F10 carried off the Truck of the Year title in 1984. The process was repeated in 1987, but this time to coincide with the launch of a new model, the mighty F16. Featuring an all new 16-litre engine, the F16 was nominally the most powerful production truck in Europe, a title it lost and retrieved on several occasions during its lifetime, straight out of the box. This latest work tells the final chapter of Volvo’s F-truck era with over 200 photographs, sourced from the manufacturer’s archive and trucking enthusiasts, combined with the author’s informative text delivered in the familiar style of his previous ‘at work’ titles.
