THE VOLVO POWERTRAIN

VOLVO POWER KEEPS YOUR BUSINESS MOVING FORWARD.

Professionals like you demand more value than ever from your trucks. Volvo is delivering that value by optimizing engine efficiency through improved fuel atomization, less internal friction, and reduced engine load from the air compressor. All of which adds up to better fuel efficiency and a healthier bottom line.

Choosing the right Volvo powertrain engine, transmission and rear axle—can save quite a bit of money and time over the long haul. This is an important part of your truck investment, and while you’ll want to invest some quality time in the specking process, we’ll make it easy to come to the best Volvo powertrain decision. From advanced engines, to innovative I-Shift transmissions, Volvo gives you the solutions you need for today, tomorrow and way down the road.

 

D11 VOLVO POWER

Like all of Volvo’s engines, the D11 is built on a foundation of proven, developed architecture that leverages innovative hardware to maximize efficiency. Energy that is normally lost is recovered with standard features including low-friction pistons and a two-speed water pump. A standard hybrid common rail fuel injection system gets the most power out of every drop of fuel. Our reliable variable geometry turbocharger compresses and moves the intake air while providing the correct back pressure to drive the EGR process.

D13 VOLVO POWER

Like all of Volvo’s 2017 engines, the D13 is built on a foundation of proven, developed architecture that leverages innovative hardware to maximize efficiency. Energy that is normally lost is recovered with standard features including low-friction pistons and a two-speed water pump, as well as optional features like turbo compounding. A standard hybrid common rail fuel injection system gets the most power out of every drop of fuel. Our reliable variable geometry turbocharger compresses and moves the intake air while providing the correct back pressure to drive the EGR process.

CUMMINS X15

With ratings from 400-500 hp, and 1450-1850 lb-ft of torque, the 2017 X15 Efficiency Series is well suited for fleets in freight applications that require fuel economy and the benefits of bigger block architecture. The economy-focused engine is optimized to deliver peak torque at lower engine speeds and enable down-speeding without compromising driveability. An available SmartAdvantage powertrain package combines the Cummins X15 with the Eaton Fuller Advantage 10-Speed automated transmission for improved fuel economy.

CUMMINS ISL G

The ISL G shares much of its design with Cummins L Series diesels, including the same full-skirted block for increased rigidity and strength. The design provides superior piston ring and bearing life, improved coolant flow and targeted-piston cooling. With five available ratings from 250-320 hp, and 660-1000 lb-ft of torque, the high torque and broad power band of the ISL G is ideal for delivery and drayage applications up to 66,000 pounds GCW.

CUMMINS ISX12 G

The ISX12 G is based on the Cummins ISX12 diesel platform. Featuring the same proven EGR, spark ignition and simple aftertreatment as the Cummins ISL G engine, the ISX12 G delivers strong pulling power with heavy-duty durability. With five available power ratings from 320 to 400 hp, and 1150-1450 lb-ft of torque, the ISX12 G is well-suited for regional-haul and LTL distribution applications up to 80,000 pounds GCW.

THE VOLVO I-SHIFT TRANSMISSION

Volvo’s I-Shift transmission continues to be the benchmark for powertrain integration, offering the convenience of an automatic with the performance of a manual. I-Shift helps drivers stay in the right gear, no matter the payload or terrain, which improves fuel efficiency. It provides faster or skip shifting during critical load-pulling scenarios and a quick rocking response in adverse conditions. And I-Shift virtually eliminates the time a driver spends shifting, which reduces fatigue and allows more time for safely monitoring the road ahead

AN AUTOMATED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH DIGITAL INTELLIGENCE

Volvo’s I-Shift automated manual transmission makes every driver more fuel efficient by ensuring the right shift at the right time. Standard in every Volvo truck, I-Shift’s intelligent electronics constantly monitor factors like road grade, speed, weight, and engine load to help keep the truck in the most fuel-efficient gear possible.

I-Shift uses intelligent electronics to continuously monitor grade, speed, weight, and engine load, shifting when necessary or holding a gear—whichever saves more fuel. So regardless of experience or training, I-Shift helps every driver become more fuel-efficient.

I-SHIFT STANDARD

Available in overdrive and direct-drive models, the standard I-Shift transmission combines the ease of an automatic, the efficiency of a manual, and the intelligence to handle any road and every load. Standard on VN and VAH models, the I-Shift not only keeps fuel costs down, it helps slow driveline wear, extends transmission life, and lowers maintenance costs.

I-SHIFT FOR SEVERE DUTY APPLICATIONS

Take on heavy loads, uneven terrain and frequent shifting typical of heavy-duty vocational duty cycles with the Volvo I-Shift for severe duty applications. Standard on Volvo VNX and Volvo VHD models with heavier weight ratings, the severe duty I-Shift combines the efficiency and productivity benefits of the Volvo I-Shift with hardened gears and other hardware for even greater uptime and component life.
