Volvo Trucks Launches All-New Combustion Engine Platform Volvo Trucks announced 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. Volvo Trucks launches an all-new engine platform made for a range of alternative fuels. 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. 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. With a constant focus on improving fuel efficiency, Volvo Trucks has developed one of the most fuel-efficient engine generations available on the market. Launched in early 2024, the Volvo Aero range cuts fuel consumption by up to 5% compared with the previous model, while the all-new in-house developed engines will deliver further fuel savings of up to 4% across a wide range of applications and segments. The new platform comes with a refined engine brake functionality for increased drivability, new cylinder and turbo designs as well as an updated version of Volvo's appreciated I-Shift transmission. Both the diesel and gas versions will also offer significantly higher torque levels. Many variants of the diesel version of the new engine are compatible with Volvo Trucks' I-Roll with engine stop/start functionality, which means that more customers can benefit from saving fuel and emissions by being able to turn off the engine and roll downhill. Volvo Trucks drives the transition towards fossil-free transport to reach its net-zero emissions target by 2040 using a three-path technology strategy. The approach is built on battery electric, fuel cell electric and combustion engines that run on renewable fuels like green hydrogen, biogas (bio-LNG), biodiesel, and HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil). The new engine platform is ready for alternative fuels such as biodiesel/B100, HVO, biogas/bio-LNG and green hydrogen. The D13 engine will come with 380-560hp of power and 1,800-2,900Nm of torque. The G13 version has 420-500hp and 2,400-2,800Nm. The new Euro6 engines fulfil the new legal requirements NNR3 (New Noise Regulation Phase 3), and are built for legislation to come in the future. They will be offered in the Volvo FM, FMX, FH and FH Aero models. Sales will begin during the third quarter of 2026. The new engines will be launched step by step globally with the first markets being Europe, Morocco, Turkey and India, later followed by North and Latin America, Asia and Africa. The new engines will initially be produced in Skövde, Sweden and the trucks are assembled in Tuve, Sweden and Ghent, Belgium. Ankündigung • Apr 02
Volvo Trucks Begins On-Road Testing of Hydrogen Combustion Engine Trucks Volvo is taking another step towards net-zero CO2 emissions transport by starting on-road trials of heavy trucks with combustion engines powered by hydrogen. Volvo's hydrogen-powered trucks will have industry-leading performance with higher energy efficiency, lower fuel consumption and increased engine power compared to conventional hydrogen combustion engine technology. This is due to High Pressure Direct Injection (HPDI), a technology where a small amount of ignition fuel is injected with high pressure to enable compression ignition before hydrogen is added. Volvo is already using this technology in its gas-powered trucks, with more than 10,000 units sold globally. Hydrogen combustion engine trucks will be especially suitable over longer distances and in regions where there is limited charging infrastructure or time for recharging of battery-electric trucks. Volvo trucks with combustion engines powered by green hydrogen have the potential to deliver net zero CO2 well-to-wheel when using renewable HVO as ignition fuel. They are categorized as 'Zero Emission Vehicles' (ZEV) under the agreed EU CO2 emission standards. Volvo's advanced hydrogen engine technology is derived from its diesel powertrain, delivering diesel-like performance while substantially cutting CO2 emissions. The hydrogen-powered combustion engine trucks will complement the company's offering of other alternatives, such as battery electric trucks, fuel cell electric trucks and trucks that run on renewable fuels, like biogas and HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil). Volvo Trucks' hydrogen-powered trucks will use the fuel-efficient HPDI (High Pressure Direct Injection) technology from Cespira. Hydrogen-powered Volvo trucks will have an operational range exceeding many customers' daily driving distance. Due to the low CO2 emissions from hydrogen combustion, these trucks are categorized as 'Zero Emission Vehicles' under the agreed EU CO2 emission standards. Hydrogen can also be used to power fuel cell electric trucks, where electricity is produced on board the truck. Fuel cell electric trucks do not emit any tailpipe emissions, only water vapor. Volvo plans to launch fuel cell electric trucks in low volumes before 2030. Volvo Trucks' three-path strategy to reach net-zero emissions consists of battery-electric, fuel-cell electric, and combustion engines using renewable fuels. Ankündigung • Feb 23

Volvo Group Launches World's First Electric Truck Safety App with AR Technology for First Responders Volvo Group is the first truck manufacturer to launch an Augmented Reality (AR) safety app for electric trucks, designed specifically to support first responders in an emergency. The app is developed to deliver instant, valuable information from the electric truck to the emergency services team arriving on the scene to guide them in real-time and ensure safe rescue conditions. Electric trucks will change the world, not only in terms of making transportation more sustainable, but also in how drive and interact with the trucks themselves. The technology involved - specifically the high-voltage systems capable of powering a heavy electric truck - is also changing how regard emergency response, as it requires its own set of new safety parameters and routines. The Emergency Response Guide app, now available for download free of charge from the Android and the Apple stores, provides safety information for all Volvo Group heavy electric truck brands, including Volvo Trucks, Renault Trucks and Mack Trucks. For Mack electric trucks, the AR features will be added during June 2023. By using a combination of connectivity, camera, sensors, 3D modeling, and augmented reality overlays, the safety app can provide first responders with a detailed view of the vehicle. It offers information on the location of high-voltage cables, battery packs, and other key components as well as step-by-step instructions on how to safely shut down the electric vehicle's power supply in case of an emergency. The safety app has been developed by a team of experts at Volvo Group's Research & Development facilities in Sweden, France, and the United States. Apart from augmented reality information and 3D models, the app also contains all safety documentation relating to the electric truck, which will be accessible to the app user once the truck is identified. Volvo Group is committed to promoting the safe and responsible use of electric vehicles and the development of this app is just one example of the company's ongoing efforts in this area. The Volvo Group is investing heavily in the development of electric vehicle technology and offers a wide range of electric solutions for commercial use.
