Manual

To suit a variety of needs the Volvo FM can be fitted with a choice of several 9- or 14-speed manual gearboxes. All feature servo synchromesh and wire operation, which results in low gearchanging force and less lever vibration. The range-change and splitter gearboxes are available in versions intended for different engine torque levels and optionally with overdrive as well.

Powertronic
Powertronic is a 5- or 6-speed automatic planetary transmission intended for construction and distribution duties. It can now be combined with all engine outputs. With good starting and driving properties it has two operating modes as well as manual gearchanging. The gearchange takes place without any interruption in power delivery. Powertronic also reduces internal losses when climbing gradients.
