In the realm of truck journalism, the remarkable Volvo I-Torque technology seamlessly blends a highly efficient powertrain with the remarkable D13TC (Turbo Compound) engine, a cutting-edge 13-speed automated manual transmission, and rear axle ratios as low as 2.15. This technological fusion is further enhanced by Volvo Truck’s awe-inspiring I-See terrain-aware and predictive cruise control technology.
Harnessing the power of I-See, the Volvo I-Torque technology exhibits its prowess by preemptively selecting the most suitable combination of engine RPM and gear selection based on the upcoming road conditions. This intelligent approach empowers the driver to expertly navigate speed and gear shifts, ultimately optimizing fuel consumption and reducing environmental impact.
To highlight the commendable performance of the D13TC engine, it has been successfully deployed for over a staggering 4.3 billion miles of freight transportation across North America since its introduction in 2017
