THE FUEL-EFFICIENT VOLVO FM
The Volvo FM is a genuinely flexible vehicle for regional, long haul and distribution. It’s adaptable to suit almost any transport assignment. But one thing that all of the trucks we deliver have in common is premium profitability.
Fuel is everything. And because every drop counts, we’ve pioneered world-leading technologies, developed innovative services and devised fuel saving strategies that make a big difference to your bottom line.
OUR MOST FUEL EFFICIENT ENGINES
Our engine range has been meticulously engineered to save fuel without compromising performance. We optimized the combustion chamber geometry. Designed vertical, centrally positioned unit injectors. Increased the gas-fill ratio and more.
I-SHIFT – SIMPLE, DEPENDABLE AND VERY FUEL EFFICIENT
I-Shift maximizes performance and efficiency by monitoring and responding to vehicle mass, road inclination, speed and acceleration. It reduces fuel consumption by up to 5% compared to a manual gearbox. And up to 7% when combined with I-Roll momentum technology. It’s also really easy to use.
ALIGN YOUR WHEELS. INFLATE YOUR SAVINGS
Using the right tyres, at the correct pressure and on correctly aligned wheels and axles, can reduce fuel consumption by up to 14%. Our studies across Europe show that two out of three trucks have incorrectly aligned axles and wheels. So there’s a lot to be gained for very little effort.
