The Volvo F4 (also marketed as F6 and F7 in some versions) is a light truck series produced by Volvo Trucks from 1975 to 1986. The F6 variant came equipped with a more powerful engine. These trucks were often used for parcel and urban delivery services.[1]
History
Produced in Ghent, Belgium, the Volvo F4/F6 served as a compact alternative in Volvo’s truck lineup. They featured a 3.59-liter turbocharged inline-six diesel engine (TD40A) producing 126 hp and 295 Nm of torque. The powertrain was paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive.[2]
Although popular for delivery operations, the model was known for its sensitivity to corrosion. It was ultimately succeeded by the Volvo FL4.[3]
