The Ford TW series was redesigned into the 30 series at the end of 1989. Only one of the updates was significant: the 30 series featured a Powershift transmission with speeds of 18+9. The transmission, implemented with nine clutches, allowed skipping gears. In direction changes, the engaging reverse gear could be programmed to be faster or slower than the forward gear. The basic transmission was the familiar non-synchronized 16+4 Dual Power, but it was not brought to Finland. The 40 km/h version of the Powershift was also not imported to Finland.

The rear axles were more robust than before. Hydraulic output was raised in the smaller models to the level of the largest. As an optional extra, an additional pump was available, increasing the output to 108 liters. The largest engine, with 186 horsepower, had a higher peak torque than before. The Super-Q cab came standard with a digital instrument panel, a driving computer equipped with radar, an air-suspended seat, and air conditioning. There was also a longer version of the 8630 model with a larger wheelbase similar to bigger models, but only the shorter model was imported to Finland.
