POWERTRAIN

Innovative technology. Optimized power. In preparing for 2017, Volvo saw not an obstacle, but an opportunity. Rather than the typical responses that impede performance, Volvo chose instead to employ innovative technologies that reduce power losses and improve efficiency, optimizing power wherever possible. Fuel efficient solutions throughout. From minimizing the friction or load of engine components, to capturing and using normally lost horsepower; and from basic hardware refinements to innovative productivity-enhancing software solutions on I-Shift transmissions, Volvo has leveraged every opportunity to improve customer value while meeting the regulatory challenge.

Inside the engine, a common-rail fuel injection system gets the most power out of every drop of fuel, and a variable geometry turbocharger optimally compresses intake air while providing the correct back-pressure to efficiently drive the EGR process. For 2017, Volvo’s I-Shift transmission enhancements share the spotlight with the engine innovations. Internal hardware upgrades improve performance and increase durability. For low-speed and steep-grade applications at maximum GCW, the I-Shift with Crawler Gears option enables controlled forward and reverse travel at extremely slow speeds.

ENGINES

VOLVO POWER

Efficiency runs in the family. Volvo’s new 2017 family of engines 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 lower friction pistons and a two-speed water pump. For additional energy recovery, turbo compounding options will be available for VNL models mid-year 2017. A standard common-rail fuel injection system now 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. And reliability isn’t sacrificed for greater efficiency. All Volvo D11 and D13 engines carry a B50 life of 1.2 million miles.

325-425 hp, 1250-1550 lb-ft. The Volvo D11 is a fuel efficient, lightweight engine designed to improve reliability and minimize cost of operation. The D11 delivers performance competitive with larger engines, beginning at 325 hp and up to an impressive 425 hp* at 1,550 lb-ft torque. One XE and two Eco-Torque ratings are available. It’s also a lighter solution for maximizing fuel efficeincy in bulk, less-than-truckload, and distribution applications.

375-500 hp, 1450-1850 lb-ft. The Volvo D13’s efficiency, power, and light weight improves operating costs, while meeting the new 2017 GHG emissions standards. Twelve power ratings are available, from 375 to 500 hp. Fifteen XE, eight Eco-Torque, and three Dual-Torque ratings provide “dual-personality” torque output for customers who desire the fuel economy of lower torque with the strong performance of higher torque. Ideal for applications operating primarily at cruise speed, the D13TC uses turbo compounding to capture and harness energy typically lost through the exhaust. TC recovers lost horsepower and helps improve fuel economy by up to 6.5% compared to previous Volvo powertrains, depending on rear-axle ratios. TC will be available in mid-2017.

500-600 hp, 1650-2050 lb-ft. Volvo’s ultra-reliable D16 delivers the power and torque needed to move large payloads of 160,000 pounds or more** with ease, even on steep grades. Five power ratings are available from 500 to 600 hp, including a heavy-spec XE16 package rated for combination weights up to 143,000 pounds—designed specifically for the North American heavy long-combination vehicle market. One Eco-Torque rating can also be selected for the D16. Available in VNL daycabs and sleepers, it’s the perfect choice for line-haul and heavy-haul operations. *Beginning early 2017, seven power ratings will be available including new 325 and 425 hp offerings. **Higher limits available with approval.

CUMMINS POWER

Power options for special applications Because certain specialized applications require unique powertrains, Volvo works closely with Cummins to provide a full range of power options. As the fueling infrastructure for natural gas becomes increasingly plentiful, more and more delivery, distribution, and regional fleets are seeking to leverage the benefits of this clean, inexpensive fuel. The Cummins ISX12 G is a proven alternative-fuel solution, well matched to these shorter-haul applications. For fleets that prefer big-block architecture, but need the fuel efficiency of lower power ratings, availability of the Cummins ISX15 provides an option for open-road applications.

Cummins ISX12 G 320-400 hp, 1150-1450 lb-ft. The ISX12 G is a dedicated, factory-built natural gas engine 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, the ISX 12 G is ideal for regional-haul and LTL distribution applications with GCW ratings up to 80,000 pounds.

Cummins ISX15 400-550 hp, 1650-1850 lb-ft. The 2017 ISX15 at the 400–550 hp rating is well suited for fleets in freight applications that require fuel economy and the benefits of bigger block architecture.

I-SHIFT

An automated manual transmission with digital intelligence. Volvo has made the industry’s most advanced automatic transmission even better. The latest edition of the I-Shift includes upgraded hardware and software, greater durability and a new countershaft brake for improved performance and smoother shifting. The electronic control unit can handle any load and any road, shifting perfectly every time. We’ve also improved clutch durability and torsional dampening in both our D11 and D13 models. So I-Shift not only keeps fuel costs down, it can help slow driveline wear, reduce noise and vibration, extend transmission life, and lower maintenance costs. Whether your route includes rolling hills or steep mountain terrain, Volvo’s innovative I-See option employs self-learning knowledge of road topography to work with I-Shift, helping your drivers optimize the truck’s speed and gear-shifting in the most fuel-efficient way.

18

Makes every driver more fuel-efficient. Our newest I-Shift makes drivers more productive, using 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.

Eases your mind and your left foot. When you drive an I-Shift, you’ll never want to deal with a clutch pedal again. I-Shift lets you concentrate on the task at hand—delivering freight—not on what gear you’re in. It’s easy to use and always ready with the right gear, so missed shifts and sore knees are a thing of the past. With I-Shift, just sit back, get comfortable, and concentrate on your driving.

Brains, brawn, and value. I-Shift has a 2,300 lb-ft torque rating, so it’s compatible with every engine in our lineup. Upgraded internal hardware delivers increased durability and faster shifting—improving performance, fuel efficiency, and drivability.

Design changes save fuel and time. I-Shift’s redesigned transmission cooler optimizes fluid temperature in cold and warm climates, improving fuel efficiency. Connections throughout the transmission are also upgraded for faster maintenance during service stops.

I-SHIFT WITH

CRAWLER GEARS

No matter the load, we’ll get you started.

When steep-grade startability and low-speed maneuverability are critical, the I-Shift with Crawler Gears is the answer for maximum GCW loads. The crawler option adds either one or two gears to the base I-Shift, a low gear and ultra-low gear, for low-speed control and less wear and tear. The I-Shift with Crawler Gears enables controlled forward and reverse travel at extremely slow speeds. Our software optimizes shifting for high GCW applications, allowing shifting to occur at higher revs, and enabling drivers to control downshifts. Running at cruising speeds is also more efficient because lower rpms are required. Learn more: USA: VNL.volvotrucks.us

FUEL EFFICIENCY

Innovation with purpose— to save you money. At Volvo, fuel efficiency is a vital part of our commitment to your business and ultimately, to the planet we all share. That’s why we’re constantly challenging ourselves to find new and improved ways to make Volvo trucks the most fuel-efficient trucks on the road. Fuel efficiency is more than a single feature, it’s a combination of customized solutions working together in perfect harmony. The result is fuel efficiency custom built to cut your operating costs.

FUEL EFFICIENCY AERODYNAMICS

Sleek design. Solid savings. The latest VNL update features our most aerodynamic and fuel-efficient package. In fact, it offers up to 3.5% fuel savings* when paired with an aero trailer compared to the previous package.

Effortlessly splits the wind. VNL series trucks feature a redesigned aero bumper and lower airflow deflector, which quickly manages airflow and efficiently channels it rearward.

Low turbulence is high priority. A redesigned roof air deflector better complements the aerodynamic roof fairing and adjustable trim tab. Together, they help manage airflow and smooth out costly turbulence between the cab and trailer.

Keeps air in the fast lane. On the VNL 630 and 670, new optional flared chassis fairings optimize airflow past the drive wheels and tractor-trailer gap.

Mirrors that reflect savings. The driver sees comforting wide angle views. Your fleet sees fuel savings. The aerodynamic design of our mirror assembly reduces turbulence by attaching air more quickly to the tractor.

Controlling air doesn’t stop on the outside. Our “smart” fan clutch and fan design increase fuel efficiency by up to 0.7%. These improvements allow the fan to run only when extra cooling is necessary and provide varying fan speed based on cooling needs.

*Includes redesigned I-Shift’s transmission cooler. See page 19.

FUEL EFFICIENCY VOLVO ENGINES

Longer runs between fuel stops. Volvo engines offer an impressive mix of power, efficiency, and value. All our 2017 engines are optimized to help you save up to 3% on fuel compared to previous Volvo engines. And with up to 600 hp and 2,050 lb-ft of torque, Volvo engines are built to handle the demands of the road with all the power you need.

Driving near-zero emissions.

Volvo’s Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system is a superior solution to the EPA’s emissions standards, not to mention a fuel- and cost-saving innovation for your fleet. Here’s how it works: high-NOx/particulate exhaust flows from the engine to Volvo’s diesel particulate filter (DPF), where much of the exhaust’s particulate is removed. Next, before the exhaust reaches the catalytic converter, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is mixed in. The DEF and catalytic converter change the harmful nitrogen oxides into harmless nitrogen and water vapor, and the truck’s NOx emissions register at near-zero levels. DEF allows the engine to use less exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and maintain higher oxygen levels for better combustion.

FUEL EFFICIENCY INNOVATIONS

Adaptive gearing and loading. A lift axle solution for 6x2 tractor configurations, Volvo’s Adaptive Loading is designed to help trucks run at peak fuel efficiency and performance every mile of every haul. From a full load, down to an empty trailer, the onboard automated technology makes every driver your most efficient driver.

One-box aftertreatment.

Volvo’s “one-box” exhaust aftertreatment system offers smaller system packaging and reduces weight by 17 pounds compared to current systems. The one-box configuration provides better thermal encasing of exhaust energy, and improves muffler efficiency. The use of Cu-Z (copper zeolite) catalyst coatings improves both low-temperature NOx conversion, and long-term system robustness.

Common-rail fuel injection.

The unique design of Volvo’s common-rail fuel system delivers multiple benefits. Finer control allows quicker, more accurate fuel injection for improved fuel efficiency; while a clean installation improves reliability and dramatically reduces engine noise.

Lower friction, wave piston design.

Improvements in surface finishing of the piston skirt area significantly reduce parasitic losses due to friction between the piston and the cylinder bore, benefitting both power output and fuel efficiency. A new wave design on the face of the piston increases cylinder efficiency by optimizing flame propagation toward the center of the cylinder, for an ultra-clean burn.

FUEL EFFICIENCY INNOVATIONS

Now every road is worth remembering.

I-See.

I-See works with your Volvo engine and I-Shift transmission to manage road speed and gear shifting in the most fuel-efficient way. I-See memorizes the actual slopes along your route, taking advantage of kinetic energy to lower fuel consumption when activated.

Turbo compounding.

For applications operating primarily at cruise speed, Volvo’s D13TC uses turbo compounding to recover lost energy. By employing a secondary exhaust turbine downstream of the main turbocharger, the normally lost energy is routed to the flywheel, recovering as much as 50 hp and helping to improve fuel economy by up to 6.5% as compared to our previous generation of powertrains.

Powerful and precise engine braking.

Combine I-Shift with an intelligent cruise control and you get I-See. It’s a unique system that learns the topography of the road. Later on, it automatically uses its knowledge to save fuel when the intelligent cruise control is engaged. Uphill. When I-See knows an uphill grade is coming, it increases speed in preparation. Once the climb begins, I-See uses its stored knowledge to avoid unnecessary downshifts towards the top. You approach the crest smoothly without wasting fuel in a lower gear at the top of the climb. Downhill. Just before the slope, I-See engages Eco-Roll,® which disengages the driveline and lets the truck roll for the optimum period before re-engaging the driveline. This saves energy and minimizes the need for braking. I-See also knows when the slope ends. So it can apply the engine brake gently in time, rather than abruptly at the end, or continue to gain momentum for an upcoming hill.

30

The intelligent Volvo Engine Brake (VEB) is an enhanced engine braking system that gives drivers precise control over engine braking, and saves the truck’s brakes for when they’re needed most. The D11, D13, and D16 engines use a Variable Geometry turbocharger (VGT), which, thanks to intelligent software, “supercharges” the VEB system. The result is phenomenal retarding horsepower at low rpm, where the engine spends most of its time and where braking is needed most. An impressive 600 hp retardation is available at 2200 rpm with the D16, 500 hp at 2200 rpm with the D13, and 420 hp with the D11.

FUEL EFFICIENCY XE PACKAGE

Extreme fuel efficiency. Great driveability. The award-winning eXceptional Efficiency (XE) package pushes Volvo’s commitment to fuel-efficiency and reliability even further. XE isn’t a single fuel-saving feature, it’s a completely customized solution that perfectly matches your vehicle and powertrain settings to the needs of your business. It all starts with choosing the right Volvo engine and matching it with I-Shift; then, we help you choose the optimum efficiency package based on your application. Together, these factors can help you save up to an additional 0.2 mpg or more. That can mean savings of as much as $2,000 per year, per truck. You tell us what you haul and where you haul it, and we’ll tell you how XE can help your trucks get the job done while helping your business save big on fuel. The XE package gets smarter every year, and is now available in a new package designed exclusively for liquid tanker, flatbed, and bulk haul applications.

XE Adaptive Gearing.

The first drivetrain in the industry to use rear suspension load to change the driveline based on whether the vehicle is loaded or unloaded. It gives you two transmissions in one: the performance of a direct drive when loaded, and a downspeeding overdrive when light.

A wider sweet spot.

In some applications, XE packages help you save fuel by widening the sweet spot rpm range of the engine. Traditional drivelines achieve peak fuel efficiency between 1300-1500 rpm. But through Volvo’s use of downspeeding, XE widens the range to 1050-1500 rpm. For every 100 rpm of downspeeding, fuel efficiency is improved by approximately 1.5%. Since the Volvo XE13 package downspeeds the engine by 200 rpm or more, you’ll realize a total fuel efficiency increase of up to 3%.

Choose your torque.

The latest XE13 package is now available with your choice of different engine torque management software. XE Economy lowers engine torque in the starting gears, maximizing tire and driveline reliability while providing ample power and torque to get the job done at cruise speed. XE High Torque allows maximum torque in all gears, for those who prefer a faster transition to cruise speed.

SAFETY ACTIVE TECHNOLOGY

Keeping you out of danger.

Volvo Enhanced Cruise ( VEC). Being surrounded by smaller, more nimble vehicles can be stressful. Volvo Enhanced Cruise (VEC) adds peace of mind by helping the driver maintain a safe following distance. The front bumper-mounted radar monitors vehicles driving in front of the truck, and if they get too close, audio and visual warnings alert the driver. If the truck continues to close on the vehicle, VEC can automatically dethrottle the engine and apply the truck’s service brakes to help prevent a collision.

Adaptive loading. Adaptive Loading features both basic and enhanced traction modes. Basic traction stabilizes your trailer during loading and unloading. While enhanced traction automatically provides unmatched startability and optimizes grip and safety in steep grades or hazardous conditions—keeping drivers safe and trucks on the road.

Volvo Enhanced Stability Technology (VEST). Loss of control, jackknives, and rollovers are three of the most dangerous incidents a driver can face. Standard on all VNL tractors, Volvo Enhanced Stability Technology, or VEST, continually monitors driver inputs and normal driving parameters. When VEST detects that the truck is dangerously close to an event such as a rollover, the system automatically reduces engine torque and sel ectively applies the necessar y braking to help get the truck back on course.

I-Shift. I-Shift takes away the physical and mental demands of changing gears, which reduces driver fatigue and provides more time for the driver to give full attention to surrounding traffic.

Lane departure warning. This safety system uses a windshield-mounted camera to track road markings. If the truck begins to drift, audio and visual alerts warn the driver to get back into the correct lane.
