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.
