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.
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 isnt sacrificed for greater efficiency. All Volvo D11 and D13 engines
carry a B50 life of 1.2 million miles.
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.
*Beginning early 2017, seven power ratings will be available including new 325 and 425 hp
offerings.
**Higher limits available with approval.
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 400550 hp rating 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 drivability.

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. Thats why were
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,
its a combination of customized solutions
working together in perfect harmony. The
result is fuel efficiency custom built to cut
your operating costs.
Solid savings.
wheels and tractor-trailer gap. of our mirror assembly reduces turbulence by
attaching air more quickly to the tractor.
Heres how it works: high-NOx/particulate exhaust flows from the engine to Volvos diesel particulate filter (DPF),
where much of the exhausts 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 trucks 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.
Adaptive gearing
and loading.
A lift axle solution for 6x2 tractor configurations, Volvos 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.
Volvos 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.
Turbo compounding.
For applications operating primarily at cruise
speed, Volvos 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.
XE isnt a single fuel-saving feature, its 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 well 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

When the day is done, drivers need a place to relax and recharge.
Thats why we designed the VNL series sleepers with those little
touches that make a VNL truck feel like a home away from home.
The flat-roof VNL 430 sleeper maximizes its 118 cubic feet of
space. The sleeper area holds a surprisingly large 36-inch wide
bed in an efficient 42-inch sleeper, providing a cozy spot to
rest up after a long day.
With room for two bunks, the 61-inch sleeper in the VNL 630
and VNL 670 have ample room to rest. And with a lower bunk that
opens up to a large workstation, its a perfect place to work, eat,
or kick back. Prepare to be entertained. Dont get up. Snacks and refreshments.

Volvo is safety.
Since 1927, our brand has used safety as the
guiding principle for everything we build. We were
the first company to introduce 3-point safety belts
as a standard feature, and to this day are the only
company to provide driver-side airbags standard in
every truck we make.
Keeping you out of danger. 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 trucks 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 conditionskeeping drivers safe and
trucks on the road.
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.
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 selectively applies the necessary braking to
help get the truck back on course.
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.
Industry-leading.
Just in case.
To make sure that our trucks are the safest on the road, we combine advanced engineering
with active and passive safety systems.
Built to exceed the demanding Volvo Swedish Cab Safety Test, our high-strength steel
(HSS) cabs have the industrys highest strength-to-weight ratio, and are designed to absorb
as much of a crashs energy as possible to protect the driver. To further protect occupants,
the steering column collapses and the engine and transmission drop down and away
from the driver.
Volvo is the only Class 8 manufacturer to make a drivers side airbag standard equipment
in every truck. Its exactly what youd expect from the inventors of the 3-point safety belt.
