    About '77 COE trucks. Volvo fonally solved bone shaker problem of COE trucks and new generation of COE F-Series (F10 and F12 were introduced in 1977) had installed on four coil springs cabins. Later they used air bags. Volvo F-series were discontinued in 90-s, becouse they used Euro-II engines and in 1993 new D12 engine was introduced in FH trucks.
