Volvo’s Euro 6 engine range is even more fuel-efficient than its predecessors
reducing fuel consumption while maintaining power output and torque. However,
fuel economy is not only a matter of engine specifications – it’s also about how the
vehicle is driven and maintained. That’s why we continuously develop services that
reduce fuel consumption. Fleet Management reports provide operational data
which will allow you to reduce your fuel costs even further. With the legendary
Volvo I-Shift 12-speed gearbox you can obtain increased efficiency offering
bottom line profit from day one.
A responsibility in society
For us, safety is so much more than just developing
innovative safety solutions in our products. We also have
a responsibility in society and an important role to play
when it comes to making road traffic safer. This goes
far beyond just ensuring superior safety for drivers and
passengers, it also encompasses the safety of other
road users. And we know we can make a difference.
Volvo Group is one of the world’s largest companies in
terms of safety research for commercial vehicles.
