The new, recently launched Volvo FH with I-Save could slash costs by up to 10% compared to a truck without I-Save equipped with Volvo’s conventional 13-litre engine. Volvo says its own figures have been confirmed by independent tests as well as customers’ experience.
The new Volvo FH with I-Save is part of Volvo Trucks’ new European product range introduced this spring. I-Save includes many fuel-saving solutions, of which the most important is the Volvo D13TC engine. Volvo’s 13-litre turbo compound engine, launched at the start of 2019, is the company’s most fuel-effective engine to date.
Jessica Sandström, Senior Vice President Product Management at Volvo Trucks said, “Cutting fuel consumption and, as a result, reducing CO2 emissions is crucial for all transport companies, especially those with long haul operations. With the new Volvo FH with I-Save, we give hauliers even greater opportunities to reduce their operating costs and environmental impact.”
In addition to I-Save, the new Volvo FH has a more aerodynamic design to save even more fuel. A further innovation, I-See, enables the truck to detect when it’s efficient for the engine to rev up slightly and then freewheel, even on roads that look flat to the human eye.
