13 May Volvo Truck’s all-new combustion engine platform
(Oilandgaspress) -–Volvo Trucks’ most fuel-efficient engines ever are here – two all-new 13-liter engines ready for renewable diesel and gas fuel types, including future hydrogen applications. Both are based on Volvo’s latest in-house developed engine platform.
The combustion engine continues to play an important role in Volvo Truck’s driveline strategy and its new engines offer an attractive combination of more power, lower fuel consumption, lower emissions, lower noise and improved drivability.
The new engine can deliver up to 4%* lower fuel consumption versus the engine it is replacing, when using the benefits of the new engine in combination with Volvo Trucks’ latest fuel-saving innovations that will now become available to more customers.
An all-new global combustion engine platform
Volvo Trucks has developed new engines that will cater for a wide variety of needs and conditions and the new engines will also meet or exceed the requirements of new legislation such as emission and noise levels.
”These all-new engines are not only our most fuel-efficient powertrains ever, but they will also take our combustion engine into the future”, says Jan Hjelmgren, Head of Product Management at Volvo Trucks. “The flexibility and readiness for all existing diesel and gas fuels but also future hydrogen applications means that we can offer efficient trucks with the possibility of net zero emissions to all our customers globally.”
