Trucks is introducing new software functions and upgraded engines to help logistics companies and their drivers save fuel, even when cruise control is not activated, thus reducing operational costs.
“This is important because we understand that fuel costs can make up one of the biggest chunks of a company’s overall operational cost. Volvo Torque Assist is designed to give more fuel-efficient driving by automatically adapting the lorry’s torque and acceleration to the road topography, the load and speed changes. The function is only active when driving without using cruise control.
Volvo Truck direct product management director Peter Hardin says: “The new software gives a more significant result with heavy loads, many slope changes or large speed variations, while drivers transporting lighter loads with constant speed on flat roads will save less fuel. In all, these hardware upgrades save around 1% fuel, while the fuel saving potential for the new software depends on driver experience and the operating conditions.
