Volvo FH Aero wins the German-based Green Truck Award

Let’s talk about diesel trucks, for once. The Volvo FH Aero, which holds the all-time record consumption result based on the Supertest of our sister platform Vado e Torno,  is the winner of the 2025 Green Truck award. The latter is organized yearly by the German trade magazines Trucker and Verkehrs-Rundschau. Also, the Volvo FH Aero won the Sustainable Truck of the Year in both the Tractor and eTruck categories in 2025.

This year’s winner is the Volvo FH Aero with a 420hp D13 engine and Volvo’s I-Save package, as well as the company’s new Camera Monitor System, which saves fuel thanks to its positive impact on aerodynamics. The Volvo truck performed an average fuel consumption of 21,20 liter/100km on a test route defined by the organizer.

The specification of the participating trucks include: 32-ton GCW (Gross Combination Weight), high roof cab, diesel engine with output 390hp +/- 50hp, new tires and a 3-axle, 24-ton trailer. The test was carried out on a 343 km route in southern Germany, motorway and national roads.

“I am so proud to see an external test confirming that our Volvo FH Aero really delivers superior fuel efficiency, saving CO₂ and running costs for our customers every day”, commented Jan Hjelmgren, Head of Product Management at Volvo Trucks (here’s our interview recorded at the last IAA).

“We will continue to innovate and introduce improvements of fuel efficiency which benefits both the climate and the productivity of transport companies. Fuel consumption represents a major part of the operational costs of our customers, so we know that our efforts make a difference.”
