Volvo FH & FM 2020+ interior: dashboard trim kits for the new cab

For a long-haul driver, the cab of a Volvo FH is not just a workplace. It is the office, the kitchen and the bedroom for days or weeks at a time. The new-generation FH and FM introduced in 2020 already have a modern cab, but the dashboard is mostly dark grey plastic. A dashboard trim kit gives it a personal look in an afternoon – without dismantling anything and without changing the truck's technology.

1. Which kit fits your Volvo FH & FM 2020+

Each kit consists of pre-cut 3D parts in a wood, carbon or brushed-aluminium look. The parts are cut to the parts diagram of one model and cab, topped with a clear PU dome about 2–3 mm thick and stuck onto the original surfaces with 3M adhesive.

Every product page shows the parts diagram. Compare it with your own dashboard before ordering: cab size, gearbox controls, radio and switch panels can differ. Driving an older Volvo? There are also kits for the FH 2013–2020 and for the classic FH12, FH16 and FM 2002–2012 – see all Volvo truck kits. Not sure? Send us a photo of your dashboard.

2. Choosing the finish

The kits come in many printed finishes, and the choice changes the whole mood of the cab:

• Wood look – walnut, mahogany or burl make the cab feel warmer, more like a living room. A popular choice for drivers who spend their weekends in the truck.
• Carbon look – a sporty, technical look that suits modern screens and dark upholstery.
• Brushed aluminium look – a clean, light accent that keeps the cab looking tidy and modern.

All finishes are printed – it is not real wood, carbon or metal – and protected by the clear PU dome, which gives depth and rounded edges. The kits ship high-gloss; for a matte look, spray one thin coat of clear matt lacquer on the parts before fitting.

3. Fitting at a truck stop: step by step

You do not need a workshop. A clean cab, a free afternoon and a little patience are enough.

1. Warm cab. Fit the parts at room temperature, at least +15 °C. In winter, run the heater first – cold adhesive does not bond well.
2. Clean and degrease. Wipe every surface with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry. Cockpit sprays and silicone cleaners prevent the adhesive from sticking.
3. Dry fit first. Hold each part in place without removing the backing and compare it with the parts diagram.
4. Start in the middle. Peel the backing, place the part with one edge first, then press it down firmly from the centre outwards.
5. Press again after 24 hours. The adhesive reaches full strength after about a day; avoid cleaning the parts with solvents in the first days.

Our fitting guide explains the fitting in detail.

4. Driving a company truck?

Many drivers personalise the truck they drive every day, even if it belongs to the company. The kit is stuck onto the existing surfaces and nothing is drilled or dismantled, but ask your fleet manager before fitting it. Owner-operators can of course decide for themselves – and a well-kept cab also looks good when the truck is sold later.

Volvo FH & FM 2020+ interior: questions we hear often

Does the kit fit the FH16?
The FH16 uses the FH cab of the same generation, so the FH kits are the starting point. Compare the parts diagram with your dashboard, as equipment can differ.

What is the difference between the XL/XXL kits and the standard kits?
The cab version changes the shape of some dashboard and console parts. Choose the kit that matches your cab and check the diagram.

Is it real wood or carbon?
No. All finishes are printed and covered with a clear PU dome.

Do I have to remove the dashboard?
No. The parts go onto the existing, suitable surfaces.

Gloss or matte?
The kits ship high-gloss. For a matte look, spray one thin coat of clear matt lacquer on the parts before fitting.
