Old vs New Volvo FH6 - Which One is More Powerful? Euro Truck Simulator 2

[@themanhacc]

one thing I don't really like about the FH6 is that it doesn't support the tuning pack so I will probably stick with the FH5

[@ImGettinTheWordNonce]

I'm sure they'll rectify this. Can't buy an FH tuning pack, and not have anything for the latest truck. Give it time.

[@Luke-j6l]

Yeah they would

[@thabangmpila]

they said they will update the FH tuning pack for this truck , its only a matter of time

[@IcarusGR]

FH6 is 2025 model which means that they won't support FH Tuning pack for now until something new come up to fit FH6 mold.. Atleast be happy that SCS released two trucks of Volvo FH in one DLC package.. (also for free) Also search on google if you find any FH6 truck with bumbers, side parts or/ tuning parts send it to me..

[@ESPirits87]

i think it's probably because the parts don't fit like the FH5, not similar cabs.

[@MyHKKH]

Fun Fact. There is no FH5 or FH6, they are all called FH4B. How i know it?! I work on Volvo Trucks

[@dbclass4075]

Some communication is lost somewhere in between Volvo and SCS Software. Look at the in-game names.

[@Kuchiki_byakuya_01]

Then why it says fh16 on top of truck

[@dbclass4075]

@@Kuchiki_byakuya_01 "16" is referring to the displacement of the D16 engines: 16.1L. In case of ETS2, not necessarily a reliable indicator of performamce because sunvisors can be modified by the player. This is more apparent in FH Tuning Pack parts for FH3 and FH4. Look at the three digit number badge on the side instead.

[@Kuchiki_byakuya_01]

@@dbclass4075 thanks. Last question. Does displacement equals hp. A 16 L engine should produce 750 hp ?? What does it depends on 😅

[@trentonh.6563]

​@@Kuchiki_byakuya_01iirc at least in ets2 the fh16 went from 540-750hp on the 2012 FH4. Best to check the Volvo trucks website to see what HP the fh16 ranges from irl.

[@orlandomorales879]

The Volvo FH4 and FH5 have the same power, the Series 6 or Aero has more power in the engine which is 780 but the stiffness is very low, the stiffness of the FH4 and 5 is higher going up they are stronger even though the other has 780 hp

[@vincehoffman179]

Fh5 has torque rpm lower than fh4 . Is better

[@dbclass4075]

It's mainly because the Aero have smaller differential ratio in their transmissions.

[@wolftoshibi3618]

max speed of those trucks are fh 6 155 fh 4 148 fh 5 not even then 140 i do speed runs from long times in ets 2 and i always stick with volvo and this is my test you guys can try yourself

[@LNZT]

@wolftoshibi3618 Ive gotten up to 180 in the fh6 or 5 idk but one of those, believe it was a fh6 with load

[@wolftoshibi3618]

@LNZT dont think so the only truck that go up to 170 around in flat road not down is the scania if iam not wrong but for sure not volvo 100%

[@Igor1pr]

One little detail I didn't like about the FH6 is that it doesn't show the gear we're in when using the "analog" speedometer. Maybe I'll use more the FH5 because of that, and also gears 10 and 12 appear as 1 (will probably be fixed)

[@shadowproman9359]

[@christse3467]

FH5 got new digital dashboard in 2020, and then this year cam mirror and Aero bumper.

[@Luke-j6l]

6:54 Iveco signal sounds😂

[@CL4SSiCS]

Yep, that has really annoyed me, as well as the warning chimes

[@IcarusGR]

Someone in the forums mentioned this: It fits to Aero because FH5 "hi sound bank" is recorded D13K TC, while "low sound bank" is ordinary D13K... Someone in SCS just probably accidentally swap S-Way engine bank files with Volvo... So it seems a developer issue..

[@peterstruckphoto]

Oh ye, I remember when DAF Euro 6 had scania signal sounds

[@major3336]

Don’t worry, the sounds will get fixed. Definitely not the first time the new truck(s) had the wrong or same sounds as another. I remember when the Western Star 49 had that terrible International engine sound and no customization at all day 1.

[@shadowproman9359]

Its sounds like cap from a glass jar when you use the indicator 😂😂

[@t_q1799]

The Volvo FH in my opinion is the best designed European truck.

[@gokbann]

Normal FH6 ile Aero FH6 arasında yakıt olarak aynı konfigürasyonda (kabin-şase-motor-şanzıman-lastik) ve yük) arasındaki fark yalnızca 10 Litre.

[@JD-rf1xc]

It is worth noting here that FH4 has no set torquecurve by SCS so the comparision is a bit useless.

[@rikardandersson7288]

Don't really know why they made the different dashboards, i mean it's cool that they did but irl it's just software that gets updated at every service if there's a new one. My FM5 built in late 2021 has gone thru like atleast 4 different versions of the dashboard, of which the first was the best imo but now it looks exactly like the "fh6" which also is not a name that exist irl

In real world main criterion for companies is fuel consumpsion. Company's profit directly depends from fuel prices, as result for transporting regular cargos on regular roads no reason to buy truck 700-780 hp. Such power need only when mountainous terrain and heavy cargo (>25t). For regular cargos engine 400-500hp will enogh

[@ImGettinTheWordNonce]

Yes, but 780 gets to 95 mph quickly, so you finish job sooner. 😂

[@FreeBiker-r4j]

​@@ImGettinTheWordNonce No man, in real trucking of course, driver should deliver in time that allocated for that, but it's not major. On smooth roads there will be practically no noticeable difference in time, but it will be noticeable in fuel consumption. Real life not ETS, even if you deliver cargo 2-3 hours earlier, I don’t think that you will be unloaded before the appointed time🙂

@@SirWolf2018 Any real driver can say that biggest fuel consumption is when you start moving. So, in traffic jams 780hp with load will have very big fuel overspending.

[@Nikgamingnl]

The fh4 has lowrpm power, but fh5 has high rpm power

[@ox5981]

I love ETS2 and ATS. Unfortunately, sound is the biggest weakness in all trucks. I can't imagine the game without Max2712 and Zeemods. SCS has unlimited possibilities and they can't even do 10% of what these two guys can.

[@klanndener]

Yeah, I feel the same. SCS often post sound recording with a lot of equipement and the sound is bad when compared with Zeemods ou Kapitan Kriechbaum.

[@namesii1880]

@@klanndener Are there any good sound comparisons for SCS vs real trucks? But ultimately you can have the best equipment and samples, but at the end it will come down to the sound designer and what they think is right. Which is why every racing sim also sounds different.

[@tcm_tatra]

By the way it looks and sounds I prefer the classic Volvo. On the new ones I like the interiors , the cameras and obviously the horse power. Can't wait to test if I can reach 200 km/h. So far my highest speed without mods is about 185 km/h.😅

[@Achanta0]

how do you get 185? I can only reach 153km/h

[@tcm_tatra]

@Achanta0 depends on the truck and gearbox. I always buy the 12 speed gearboxes with the lowest gear ratios as they are the fastest. I've gone over 180 with Volvos FH3 and FH4 and with Scanias in this configuration. Some other trucks will not reach these speeds no matter of the gearbox , for example the Actros MP4 will reach only ~145. I haven't had time to try the FH5 and 6 to top speed yet.

[@LNZT]

For me it feels like the new trucks are super slow on changing gears which the video kind of proves and I'm hella confused on that, they seem to have changed to some weird gear ratios

[@RealMilkMan255]

How does your FH5 dashboard look so much better? 2:00 is that a mod? i dont even have the gear numbers on mine.
