Initial Assessments for the Volvo FH16

Before diving into the tuning, our Volvo FH16 Dyno Tune process kicked off with an exhaustive pre-tune inspection. We lifted the cab, revealing the engine, to ensure a thorough health check of the vehicle. Safety and accuracy form the bedrock of our tuning protocols.

Volvo FH16: Setting the Benchmark

After the health check, we ran stock tests on the Volvo FH16.

The data mirrored our expectations, registering 481.3Hp and 2264.4Nm at the wheels. Considering the model’s factory rating at 600hp at the flywheel, the readings clearly highlighted the anticipated driveline losses.
