The system is entirely unique for series-produced heavy trucks)
-- Volvo Trucks has launched a new version of the I-Shift range, integrating an additional two crawler gears to the automated transmission to improve take-off for heavily-loaded vehicles... New forward and reverse crawler gear options have been added to the Volvo I-Shift line-up for startability improvements... Aimed at construction and maintenance roles, the new I-Shift with crawler gears offering allows trucks to travel at speeds as low as 0.5-2 km/h – an aid for drivers performing precise manoeuvres... Available with Volvo’s 13- and 16-litre engines found in FM, FMX, FH, and FH16 models, the new I-Shift with crawler gears offering is capable of helping a vehicle transport a gross combination weight (GCW) of up to 325 tonnes... According to the truck maker, the transmission comes in direct-drive and overdrive gearbox options, with the option of two reverse crawler gears... While Volvo says the gearboxes will suit poor-terrain locations, Volvo Trucks FM and FMX product manager Peter Hardin says, the crawler gears can also aid vehicles working across highway haulage roles too...
