Volvo’s 13-litre engine is one of the most trusted power sources in the world of heavy-duty vehicles. It is now part of our coach range in its Euro 6 version, with a set of outstanding capabilities: a new level of fuel efficiency, solid power and torque resources and extended service intervals. In addition, it is certified for HVO and Biodiesel in any mix, which further contributes to reduced emissions.
The Volvo 13-litre engine features a new unique cooling system which contributes to the reduced fuel consumption. There are dual radiators on opposite sides of the engine installation, served by energy efficient electrical fans. This allows us to control and regulate a low and uniform temperature in the engine compartment in all climates. From Arctic cold to Mediterranean heat.
The outstanding fuel efficiency of the Volvo 9700 DD comes from two sources: a highly efficient basic engine concept in combination with multiple refinements. And for Volvo Connect subscribers, the optional I-Coaching service gives direct driver feedback – and lasting reductions in fuel consumption.
A powerful engine does not necessarily use more fuel. In fact, it can be the other way around. An engine with sufficient power reserves can run at optimally fuel-efficient revs for a larger share of the operating time. Simply getting more power from every drop of fuel. In addition, several fuel-saving Volvo technologies help the driver to maintain the average speed without increased consumption. The savings can be monitored in detail in Volvo Connect.
Fuel efficiency is dependent on keeping the engine at the most economical revs for each situation. The Volvo 9700 DD provides massive power at low engine revs when cruising, and thus stays within the economical range. And if you specify the I-Shift with overdrive you will reduce consumption even further.
The Volvo 9700DD comes with the new G-version of Volvo’s legendary I-Shift transmission, with the option of overdrive. Faster gear changes, low internal friction and software optimised for tour and charter as well as line-haul operation contribute to the fuel savings.
Fuel consumption and emissions follow each other linearly, so if we can save fuel, we also reduce emissions. Furthermore, we can use alternative fuels to reduce the carbon footprint. And regardless of fuel, Volvo’s Euro 6 technology ensures that emissions are kept below the set limits.
The quickest way to reduce emissions from a vehicle is to use less fuel. The Volvo 9700 DD offers fuel savings of up to 9% in combination with exhaust aftertreatment that reduces local pollutants below Euro 6 requirements.
The Volvo D13K engine is HVO and Biodiesel certified to further reduce CO2 impact by up to 85% with HVO and 45% with Biodiesel.
