    Volvo Trucks: The Globetrotter & XXL Luxury

    Volvo Trucks: The Globetrotter & XXL Luxury

    Volvo Trucks has long been a reference point for long-haul driver comfort, and the Volvo FH Globetrotter XXL represents the pinnacle of that philosophy. With its extended rear wall, advanced aerodynamics, and industry-leading sound insulation, the XXL is designed for drivers who spend extended time on international routes.


    The lineup

    Sleeper Cab

    The standard Volvo FH Sleeper Cab is primarily intended for regional and short-haul distribution:

    • Limited interior height

    • Basic storage options

    • Focused on efficiency rather than livability

    While practical, it is not designed for extended stays.

    Globetrotter

    The Volvo FH Globetrotter is the most common configuration seen on European roads:

    • Full standing height

    • Clean, ergonomic layout

    • Limited overhead and rear storage

    It offers improved comfort over the Sleeper Cab but makes compromises in storage capacity.

    Globetrotter XL

    The Globetrotter XL is widely regarded as the industry standard for international transport:

    • Increased interior height

    • Additional lockers and compartments

    • Better balance between driving ergonomics and living space

    For many fleets and owner-operators, the XL represents the optimal long-haul configuration.

    Globetrotter XXL (Aero)

    The Volvo FH Globetrotter XXL Aero is a specialized flagship variant designed to maximize sleeping comfort and cabin refinement.


    The flagship Globetrotter XXL key features

    Interior Volvo cabin

    Extended rear wall design

    The XXL’s defining feature is its rear wall pushed back by approximately 25 cm. Rather than distributing this space throughout the cab, Volvo dedicates it almost entirely to the sleeping area - creating a clear separation between the driving zone and the rest area.

    XXL Bed: A true bedroom feel

    Thanks to the extended rear wall, the XXL bunk is:

  1. Wider and longer than the standard FH bed

  2. More naturally proportioned

  3. Clearly defined as a separate sleeping zone

  4. This layout gives the cabin a distinct “bedroom” atmosphere, improving sleep quality on multi-day routes.

    Exceptional sound insulation

    The Aero front end plays a critical role in cabin comfort:

    • Reduced wind turbulence

    • Lower exterior noise levels

    • Improved fuel efficiency

    Combined with Volvo’s extensive sound insulation, the Globetrotter XXL is widely considered one of the quietest truck cabs available, particularly during night rest periods.

    Interior Volvo storage

    Volvo’s signature storage wall

    Volvo is renowned for intelligent storage solutions, and the rear storage wall is one of its most iconic features:

    • Multiple full-height cupboards

    • Optional integrated microwave

    • Factory-installed coffee maker at standing height

    Unlike under-bunk installations, these appliances are easily accessible and designed for everyday use - reinforcing the cabin’s “home on wheels” feel.
