“So far, more than one-third of all FL trucks have been delivered with I-Sync. Distribution operations involve a fast pace and repeated stops and starts, and many customers want an automated transmission that offers convenient progress combined with lower fuel consumption. Now we are strengthening our offer by also introducing I-Sync on some of the larger FE models,” says Anders Bellini, Business Area Manager for the Volvo FL and FE at Volvo Trucks.
In the Volvo FE, I-Sync is combined with Volvo’s 260 hp 7-litre engine and helps providing a good fuel economy and thus also low carbon dioxide emissions.
"This is an optimal combination for local distribution and shorter regional distribution duties. You get alert response from the engine along with smooth and convenient gearchanging even in frequent stop-start conditions such as close-quarter manoeuvring,” says Clara Werner Floberg, Product Manager for the Volvo FL and FE at Volvo Trucks.
