Volvo Trucks launches two engines ready for renewable diesel and gas fuel types
In Sweden, Volvo Trucks launched its most fuel-efficient engines ever– two all-new 13-liter engines ready for renewable diesel and gas fuel types, including future hydrogen applications. Both are based on Volvo’s latest in-house developed engine platform.
The combustion engine continues to play an important role in Volvo Truck’s driveline strategy and its new engines offer an attractive combination of more power, lower fuel consumption, lower emissions, lower noise and improved drivability. The new engine can deliver up to 4% lower fuel consumption versus the engine it is replacing, when using the benefits of the new engine in combination with Volvo Trucks’ latest fuel-saving innovations that will now become available to more customers.
Volvo Trucks drives the transition towards fossil-free transport to reach its net-zero emissions target by 2040 using a three-path technology strategy. The approach is built on battery electric, fuel cell electric and combustion engines that run on renewable fuels like green hydrogen, biogas (bio-LNG), biodiesel, and HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil).
