I-Shift
The I-Shift is no conventional gearbox. It is a 12-speed automated gearbox applicable to distribution, logn haul or heavy duty operations. Dimensioned to handle gross combination weights above 80 tonnes. It is quiet and more compact than ever, weighing approximately 70 kg less than a manual gearbox.
New I-Shift with further developed software
TA refinement of our highly appreciated gearbox, I-shift has now been upgraded to match the increased performance of the new engine range... The gearchanging programs are tailored to the specific conditions of each operation. Enhanced I-Roll offers further fuel savings.
Manual
To suit a variety of needs the Volvo FM can be fitted with several 9 or 14-speed manual gearboxes. All feature servo synchromesh and cable operation, which results in low gearchanging force and reduced 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, the fully automatic 6-speed planetary transmission is intended for construction and distribution duties. With good starting and driving properties it has two operating modes – Ecomony and Performance, as well as manual gearchanging. The gearchange is smooth and without any disruption in power delivery. The built-in torque converter boosts torque and guarantees smooth and secure starts even in difficult conditions.
In the new Powertronic, the control system and gearchange programs have been further refined, at the same time as the transmission benefits from longer oil-change intervals.
