EXTRA POWER FOR BIG LOADS AND STEEP GRADES.

With our D16 engine, Volvo takes power and performance to the next level. This ultra-reliable engine delivers the increased horsepower and torque needed to move large payloads with ease, even on steep grades. The Volvo D16 features advanced technology that requires less oil, fuel and maintenance. It’s one more way we’re protecting the environment while we help you rev up your bottom line.

Eight power ratings are available in the range from 450 to 600 hp. The engine delivers impressive power in any situation with up to 2,050 lbs.-ft. of torque for excellent drivability. The variable geometry turbo also makes the engine very responsive while maximizing fuel economy.

The Volvo D16 is sold in VN and VT Daycabs and Sleepers, making it the perfect choice for line haul and heavy haul operations.

At 1500 rpm the standard I-VEB puts out an impressive 420 braking hp and a whopping 600 hp at 2200 rpm, an improvement by more than 20% over its predecessor. The I-VEB is controlled by a new brake stalk switch, allowing three engine-brake increments.

An oil drain interval of up to 50,000 miles with the low maintenance oil pan, which is standard in the VT and optional in the VNL, helps to reduce operating costs. The D16 engine offers a dependable, fuel-efficient solution for heavy haul applications that require maximum muscle under the hood.
