About remapping
The Volvo FH12 is the previous generation of the brand's long-haul tractor unit, built around the 12-litre engine block, and accounts for 62 files in our catalogue. Output designations run from 380 to 500 hp.
Stage 1 makes up 55 files, with 6 AdBlue-related files. The ECUs are Volvo's own EMS2 and EMS2.3 families, plus Lucas references and platform-specific units. Commercial work is approached with conservative criteria.

What does an FH12 gain from a remap?
Fuller torque at low revs and, in many fleets, a more contained average fuel consumption over high annual mileage.
How does it differ from the FH13?
The FH12 is the previous generation with a 12-litre block; the FH13 uses a 13-litre unit. Both are covered in our catalogue.
Does it affect engine life?
On commercial vehicles we work to more conservative criteria precisely because the engine accumulates far more hours than a car engine.
