“The Volvo FH 460 is the leader in its segment and has won over Brazilian carriers for its low fuel consumption and high performance and uptime levels,” said Bernardo Fedalto, commercial director of Volvo Trucks in Brazil.
The classic Volvo FH received the award for the fourth consecutive year. In 2012, the prize went to the Volvo FH 460, while the Volvo FH 440 received the award in the three previous years.
