Volvo anticipates its centenary with a special edition of its FH truck

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General28 August 2026 at 15:15

Volvo Trucks has decided to get ahead of its centenary celebrations, which will officially be in 2027. The Swedish manufacturer is preparing a Volvo 100th Anniversary Edition for its FH Aero, FH, FH16 Aero, and FH16 models, a special series that can be ordered starting September 2026.

The special edition focuses primarily on cab customization, offering customers the possibility to adapt the truck to their individual preferences. The offering does not introduce specific mechanics nor does it limit the tribute to a single configuration.

Volvo indicated that the edition can be combined with most chassis and engine variants already available in these four models, providing flexibility to interested buyers looking to acquire a personalized vehicle for this special occasion.

Private label is no longer exclusive to large retail chains

Private labels, which already represent a significant share of sales in European retail, are expanding in Brazil and are no longer exclusive to large retail chains. Medium-sized companies have started developing exclusive products directly with Chinese manufacturers, creating a complete brand process that includes technical specifications, packaging, and visual identity. This change is occurring amid intense price competition on major marketplaces, where product differentiation has become essential for those who do not want to compete solely on price. Data from NielsenIQ shows that nearly 70% of Brazilians consider private labels a good alternative to traditional brands, and 72% associate them with good value for money.
