Volvo Trucks Sets a New Standard in Eco-Friendly Transportation

In a game-changing move for the heavy truck industry, Volvo Trucks has rolled out a pioneering auto start/stop engine technology in Europe, claiming it's a world first for heavy-duty vehicles.

What’s Under the Hood?

This cutting-edge technology will debut in Volvo's renowned FH and FH Aero trucks equipped with robust 13-liter engines. But how does it work? Volvo leverages its innovative I-Roll and I-See technologies, which utilize advanced GPS to gather critical road data.

Fuel Savings and Reduced Emissions!

When the system detects an approaching downhill slope, the engine automatically shuts off, allowing the truck to glide smoothly without consuming fuel or emitting harmful gases. This not only results in significant cost savings but also contributes to a healthier environment.

A Commitment to Innovation and Sustainability

Jan Hjelmgren, head of product management at Volvo Trucks, proudly states, "Our engineers have done it again—innovating a new engine technology that makes truck transport more fuel-efficient. As part of our decarbonization strategy, we are dedicated to further enhancing our combustion engines to minimize our environmental impact."

The Potential Impact

Set to activate at speeds exceeding 60 km/h, this technology promises to deliver an additional 1% in fuel efficiency and emissions reduction atop Volvo's already impressive performance metrics. The future of transport is looking greener with Volvo leading the charge!
