 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, Volvos 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.

Volvos 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 isnt sacrificed for greater efficiency. All Volvo D11 and D13 engines
carry a B50 life of 1.2 million miles.

 ENGINES 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

 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.

Volvos Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system is a superior solution to the EPAs emissions standards, not
to mention a fuel- and cost-saving innovation for your fleet.

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.

 FUEL EFFICIENCY INNOVATIONS

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.

Common-rail fuel injection.

The unique design of Volvos 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.
Combine I-Shift with an intelligent cruise control and you get I-See. Its 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
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, 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.
Powerful and precise engine braking.
The intelligent Volvo Engine Brake (VEB) is
an enhanced engine braking system that gives
drivers precise control over engine braking,
and saves the trucks brakes for when theyre
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 Volvos commitment
to fuel-efficiency and reliability even further.

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
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 Volvos 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, youll 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

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.

Volvos commitment to safety protects your business

by putting the well-being of driversyour most valuable
assetfirst. Intelligent design that maximizes comfort
and visibility combined with advanced safety
technology helps drivers avoid or minimize accidents,
keeping them safe while reducing cargo loss,
downtime, and accident-related insurance costs.

 SAFETY ACTIVE TECHNOLOGY

Volvo Enhanced Cruise (VEC).

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.

 SAFETY PASSIVE TECHNOLOGY

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.
