The Volvo FH 440 is known for its powerful engine and reliable performance. Regarding fuel consumption, actual figures can vary depending on specific driving conditions, load, and driver behavior. However, recorded real-world data and expert estimates provide a good reference:
- Fuel consumption for the Volvo FH 440 typically ranges between 34 and 50 liters per 100 kilometers (l/100km).[1][3]
- According to user data, a 2008 Volvo FH 440 PS averages around 34.3 l/100km over 131,792 kilometers.[3]
- Some recorded data shows a consumption of around 49.57 l/100km under certain conditions.[1]
- General guidance for the FH (all engine variants) suggests an average between 25 and 35 l/100km depending on driving style, load, and terrain.[5]
These figures reflect a variety of real-world operating environments, with the lower end of the range being achievable under optimal conditions and the higher end reflecting heavy loads, challenging terrain, or less economical driving styles.
