Volvo introduces 2011 range


 
Volvo Trucks has revealed its ADR 80/03 (Euro 5) compliant line-up – employing selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology across the board – in readiness for the local introduction of the stringent new emissions standards on 1 January next year. The company claims SCR offers the benefits of better fuel efficiency, cooler running, longer service intervals and increased horsepower and torque when compared to engines using exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for emissions compliance.
 
Spearheading the attack will be the flagship FH16 700 that produces a mountain-mauling 522 kW (700 hp) and 3150 Nm (2323 lb ft) of torque to comfortably maintain the mantle of Australia’s most powerful on-highway prime mover. In addition, the FH16 will be now available with a 447 kW/ 2800 Nm (600 hp/ 2065 lb ft) rating Volvo says is ideal for interstate B-double applications. All FH16 models offer increased AdBlue capacity that’s said to enable up to 6500 km between refills.
 
Like all Volvo Euro 5 automated models, the new FH16 features an upgraded ‘D version’ of the company’s I-shift 12-speed automated transmission for optimum performance, fuel efficiency and driving convenience.
 
Also popular in B-double circles is the six-cylinder FH540 which for 2011 offers the space saving advantage of a raised muffler. This enables increased fuel and AdBlue capacities with Volvo claiming the FH540 can comfortably travel up to 3000 km without refuelling and up to 7000 km between AdBlue tank replenishments.
 
The raised muffler concept has been also incorporated into the FM range, once again providing increased capacities for fuel and AdBlue with the latter contained in a 180 litre belly tank suspended between the chassis rails. Available in sleeper or day cab variants with either the D13 six rated at 460 or 500 hp, or the D11 with ratings between 330 and 450 hp, new features for the FM include more effective headlights and the option of adaptive cruise control (ACC) which uses radar to maintain a set distance from the vehicle in front.
