Which Volvo suits your type of transport

Volvo builds its commercial vehicles and trucks in clearly separated weight classes. The FL is the lightest series and is mainly used for urban distribution and local delivery rounds thanks to its compact manoeuvrability. The FE is specifically developed for city logistics and refuse or construction applications with low entry. The FM is the versatile mid-range for regional transport, construction and building work, while the FH is the flagship series for long distances and heavy tractor-trailer combinations. First determine your payload, range and type of cargo before choosing a series: an FL is more economical and manoeuvrable in the city, but lacks the towing capacity and comfort of an FH on the motorway.

What to look out for with a used Volvo commercial vehicle

When looking at a used Volvo, look beyond just the mileage. Request the maintenance book and check whether major services, the timing belt and the clutch were carried out on time, as this determines the remaining service life more than the age of the vehicle. Test the I-Shift automatic transmission for smooth shifting without hesitation, check the chassis and load bed or frame for rust and damage, and have the cab suspension and air suspension inspected. Always ask for a recent inspection report and the tachograph data, so you know how intensively the vehicle has actually been used.

Driving licence and permits for a Volvo truck

For most Volvo trucks above 3.500 kg, you need at least a category C driving licence, and a category CE licence if you drive with a trailer or semi-trailer. If you drive professionally, code 95 is also mandatory, including periodic training. For lighter transport solutions, a BE combination up to 12 tonnes may already be sufficient, saving you on licence costs and administrative obligations such as the tachograph requirement. Always check the permitted gross weight of the specific vehicle upon purchase, as this determines which driving licence is legally required.

Buying or financial leasing: what suits your business

With a major purchase such as a Volvo commercial vehicle, cash flow often plays a bigger role than the purchase price alone. Financial lease keeps your working capital free for other investments and is possible at Tatev Auto up to 100% financing, with a term of up to 72 months, even for start-ups and self-employed professionals without an extensive business history. If you prefer to buy directly, you are the owner from day one and have no ongoing obligations. Do you have a current vehicle? We are happy to take it in as a trade-in, which directly reduces the net investment.
