When Volvo Trucks launched the worlds strongest series-manufactured truck, the Volvo FH16 700, Tore Aase of Norway quickly placed an order and became the first customer in the world to take delivery of the brand-new model. He has now driven the truck in regular operations for about six months.
"Im delighted with it. Its possible to maintain a steady, high speed with a full load even on steep gradients", says Tore Aase, who hauls heavy loads from Stavanger on the demanding, hilly Norwegian west coast.
Nothing is mentioned about the torque output, which is more important in this application.

@Bradicus93 It's ok that way if the inner tire on each axle is still good. Atleast according to swedish traffic laws. I doubt Norway is much diffrent.

The tyres on the trailer are a prohibition as the out front and rear have little or no tread
