I have a VOLVO FH12 2000 truck, but i can't seem to find the retarder control unit, and google gives no results... Can someone tell me where it is, or better yet give me a picture?

It’s not just for Formula 1 racing anymore. Volvo has tested Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) flywheel technology that not only boosts propulsion, but also allows for fuel savings of up to 20 percent. Volvo believes this technology has potential for consumer cars on public roads.

It’s an old school Friday at Winding Road, and Multimedia Editor Amos put together a video of a classic hot sedan from… Volvo? Yes, the respectable, tame, conservative, safe Swedish brand actually has quite a bit of history when it comes to performance. In particular, it’s R models were highly...

7-series vs. Audi A8? What's better?

Volvo, that company of safety minded Swedes and maker of cars for your professor, clergyman, and other banal and humdrum people in your life has gone absolutely mad. Why, you ask? Because Polestar, Volvo’s tuning division, has taken the comfortable and stylish S60 and stuffed 508 horsepower...

The Volvo is a good vehicle. It’s got plenty of power from its turbocharged six-cylinder engine, packing 300 ponies and 325 pound-feet of torque. There’s some turbo lag on tip-in, but by and large the engine spools rather quickly and dumps the torque across the middle of the rev range. It feels...

We enjoyed our rather short drive experience in the big Volvo, though far more when we were crushing highway miles than on the few occasions that we dove into the smaller, curvier Utah roads. That’s not because the S80 felt unstable, or lacked for grip on tight corners, but rather because the...

From our perspective, the new S60 configuration offers nearly everything that we loved about the original car, but without some of the power that was frankly, a little superfluous. Of course there’s nothing wrong with “extra” horsepower, but the S60 T6 always struck us as a vehicle whose engine...

If you are looking for a stylish, comfortable, reasonably priced, four-person convertible, you could do much worse than the Volvo C70 Inscription. If you are looking for a fun-to-drive, fast, sharp droptop, then you’ll probably want to look elsewhere.

instead of the headphones? Hi! I've just brought a 2004 volvo xc90 d5 SE UK model which has the volvo head rest rear screens with the 10 disc dvd player in the boot. It's genuine volvo and from what I can make out the only way to get sound is via wireless headphones, which we didn't get included...

Volvo, renowned for its safety technology, is now looking to bust into the world of green motoring. The Swedish brand will unveil a plug-in-hybrid version of its XC60 CUV at the upcoming North American International Auto Show.

On Sunday in Spain, Ian Poulter of Twitter fame beat Luke Donald at the Volvo World Match Play for his 11th European Tour title of his career. It was big news for Poulter, who hadn't won an event since November, and he did so with a 2-and-1 win over Donald, who had claimed a match play title...

Frankly, we like the 2011 Volvo S60. It’s easily powerful, with its 300 horsepower and 325 pound feet of torque supplying ample amount of remarkably smooth thrust. We like the design, and the car’s interior is a particularly comfortable and aesthetically pleasing space for the driver and...
