Gearbox

I-Shift to match a long hauler
A durable long-haul truck like the Volvo FH16 requires a transmission to suit. One that is convenient for the driver and fuel efficient on fast long distance runs. The I-Shift automatic gearchanging system provides a previously unattainable level of driveability even at 80 tonne transportations and beyond.

Manual gearboxes
Volvo’s manual gearboxes are available in a range of variants to suit different uses and engine sizes with 14-speed range and splitter versions, with or without overdrive. As the gearboxes have cable linkage, gear changes are smooth,  easy and benefit from low levels of noise and vibration.
