The Volvo F88/F89 was a series of heavy-duty trucks produced by Swedish automaker Volvo between 1965 and 1977.
Volvo presented the forward control F88 in 1965.[1] The truck was the first part of the company's export-oriented "System 8", which served as basis for the truck giant Volvo is today.[2] The F88 sold well internationally and began a reputation for durable cab-over trucks.[1]
Volvo F88
The F88 cab had already been introduced on the predecessor Titan Tiptop in 1964, but the rest of the truck was redesigned. This included a new engine, a new eight-speed gear box and stronger chassis and suspension.
A derivative was the G88 introduced in 1970, which was basically the same vehicle but with the front axle fitted Script error: No such module "convert". further forward to allow greater axle spread. This was necessary to increase the GCWR up to Script error: No such module "convert"..[2]
The engine is a 9.6-liter TD100 turbocharged inline-6 diesel engine with the specification of:
260 horsepower at 2,200 rpm and 940 newton-meters at 1,300 rpm (rpms based on the TD120 engine, can also be applied to the TD100 engine) [1][2]
Volvo F89
In 1971 the larger 'F89' was introduced, with the new twelve litre engine, which development started in 1969. The truck and the engine were designed to meet a West German regulation that put a lower limit for the number of horsepower per GCWR.[3] To continue selling trucks in the heaviest class, Volvo developed a new, more powerful engine and the F89 was the first Volvo truck to be sold with turbo engines only.[3] The TD120 engine was so tall that it must be mounted inclined in the frame to fit under the cab. This made it impossible to convert the truck for right-hand drive. Countries with left-hand traffic had to make do with a stronger version of the F88 with its engine power boosted to Script error: No such module "convert"..
The engine is a 12-liter TD120 turbocharged inline-6 diesel engine with the specification of:
330 horsepower at 2,200 rpm and 1,257 newton-meters at 1,300 rpm [3]
