Pics | Wardens Cartage Unveils South Africa’s First Volvo FH16 750hp XXL Globetrotter – No Regrets

04/06/2025

In a bold move that’s making waves across the local trucking industry, Wardens Cartage has taken delivery of South Africa’s first-ever Volvo FH16 750 hp XXL Globetrotter 6×4 truck tractor on full air suspension. Nicknamed “NO REGRETS,” this truck isn’t just another addition to the fleet; it’s a full-blown statement on wheels.

Built for serious hauls and maximum driver comfort, the FH16 750 is already known for being Volvo’s most powerful production truck. But this one? It takes things a step further with the rare and coveted XXL cab, giving drivers that extra space to breathe, rest, and live on the road.

The 750 hp, 16.1-litre Euro 6 engine pumps out a monstrous 3,550Nm of torque, allowing this 6×4 beast to handle the toughest terrain and heaviest loads with ease. Paired with Volvo’s I-Shift automated gearbox and full air suspension, the result is a ride smoother than a cold beer on a Friday afternoon.

Let’s not forget the high-end tech onboard – Volvo Dynamic Steering, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and driver alert systems all come standard. This truck is built not just to work hard, but to protect the guy behind the wheel.

And then there’s the cab – the first XXL Globetrotter cab in the country. It’s a game-changer. Extra length, a bigger bed, more storage, and a layout designed for the long haul make it feel more like a hotel suite than a truck. The drivers can rest properly after a long stint on the road, and that alone is worth celebrating.

To top it all off, “NO REGRETS” is turning heads before it even starts the engine – thanks to a next-level custom paint job by PA’s Auto Tech. The finish is slick, bold, and worthy of a truck that’s rewriting the rules.

SA Trucker sends a big congrats to Wardens Cartage on this impressive rig. With “NO REGRETS,” they’re not just hauling freight – they’re leading the charge into a new era of South African trucking.

Well played, Wardens. That’s how you do it.
