16ℓ 6-cylinder diesel engine (turbocharger + intercooler) 최대 출력 700hp 최대 토크 320.7kg.m
January 7 is a historic day for all truck enthusiasts. Today is the
day Volvo Trucks is launching the world’s most powerful
series-manufactured truck. The Volvo FH16 with 700 hp and 3150 Nm of
torque.
Volvo Trucks is the first manufacturer in the world to be able to
put a 700 hp badge on its vehicles. The truck model in question is the
company’s flagship, the Volvo FH16, which to date has had a maximum
power output of 660 hp.
Prestigious powerplant
“The Volvo FH16 is intended for the very heaviest and most demanding of
transport operations. It is also a highly prestigious truck for the
customer who is looking for something truly out of the ordinary. And
with 700 hp, the Volvo FH16 sets itself apart from everything else in
the industry,” says Staffan Jufors, President and CEO of Volvo Trucks.
Competitive fuel consumption
With higher power, one might well expect that fuel consumption would head in the same direction, but that is not the case.
“Our aim is to have both the best performance and the best fuel economy
in the segment. We have succeeded in keeping fuel consumption the same
as before despite the power increase. In a comparison with the
competition, we are doing very well indeed,” reveals Staffan Jufors.
Lower environmental impact
The Volvo FH16 is certified for the new Euro 5 European emission
requirements that come into force in autumn 2009, which means that
emissions of nitrogen oxide have been cut by more than 40 percent. In
other words, the Volvo FH16 has become even more powerful but without
compromising on the environment. In addition to the 700 hp version the
Volvo FH16 is also available in variants producing 540 and 600 hp
respectively.
It was already powerful, now it is the most powerful in the world. Enter the Volvo D16G – the beating heart of the Volvo FH16.
With 700 horsepower and 3150 Nm of torque, Volvo’s most recent
16-litre engine sets a new benchmark for the truck industry. This is
the first time ever that a commercially produced truck is being
launched with such a powerful engine, designed for the very heaviest
and most demanding of haulage assignments. The Volvo D16G is also
available with 600 and 540 hp.
40 extra horsepower, 40 percent lower emissions
The new engine is a further development of Volvo’s previous D16 engine
that produced 660 hp. In addition to an extra 40 horsepower and
somewhat higher torque, the new engine produces cleaner exhaust gases.
Emissions of nitrogen oxide are 40 percent lower than in the previous
engine. The new 16-litre engine is certified for the new Euro 5
European emission requirements that come into force on October 1, 2009.
Optimised combustion promotes higher efficiency rating
Despite the higher power, fuel consumption remains the same as in the
previous engine generation. Through a number of measures including
redesigned pistons, Volvo’s engineers have optimised the combustion
process and met demands for high performance combined with efficient
fuel utilisation, low emissions and long lifetime. Both maximum power
and maximum torque span a wider rev range than before, contributing to
excellent driveability. The engine now also features a new oil
thermostat that has a favourable effect on fuel consumption.
Quieter idling
The noise level during idling has been lowered by 2dB(A). With the help
of pre-injection, where a small amount of fuel is sprayed into the
cylinder, the result is a gentler combustion sequence and a far lower
noise level.
Effective exhaust cleaning
Another important change in the two most powerful engine variants is a
new and larger system for exhaust after-treatment. Since the system can
handle a larger flow of exhaust gases, counter-pressure is reduced and
power losses are minimised. A larger-capacity system also results in
better cleaning capacity. Just as before, the SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction) system is used, taking effective care of harmful emissions.
EPG or VEB+
The Volvo D16G is equipped as standard with a new, electronically
controlled exhaust brake (EPG) with an output of 230 kW. Electronic
control makes it possible to reduce the number of moving parts,
promoting simpler operation, higher reliability and lower weight. There
is also the option of the Volvo Engine Brake, VEB+, with 425 kW braking
effect.
