Volvo FE - Engine Torque and Response; Quick Response Engine; Common Rail Injection System; Exhaust After-Treatment

ENGINE IDLE SHUTDOWN
When the engine is left on idling for
a defi ned period of time, the engine
switches off to save fuel and reduce
emissions. Good for your bottom line
and the environment.
EXHAUST AFTER-TREATMENT
The D8K engine’s emissions are
fi ltered using a combination of
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
and Exhaust Gas Recirculation
(EGR) systems. An extra injector
is fi tted on the exhaust in order to
regulate the correct temperature of
the exhaust gas for further exhaust
treatment.
THE D8K – POWER
PERFECTLY MATCHED
The Volvo D8K engine is an all-new
6-cylinder, 8-litre engine with power
outputs 250, 280, 320 and 350 hp. It
is the perfect match with Volvo FE,
with optimal adaptability and top
performance.
ALTERNATIVE FUELS
Diesel is only one of the fuel alterna-
tives for the Volvo FE. The are many
options if you want to help the
environment, and enjoy the incentives
available in your market.
CNG
A 9-litre engine with 320 hp
1,356Nm of torque that runs on
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).
TheCO

emissions are reduced by up
to 70%, compared to a diesel truck.

HVO
All power levels for D8K engines
are certifi ed for synthetic diesel
(Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils –
HVOEN15940).
RME
There is a variant of our D8K320
engine that will run on pure bio-
diesel (Rapeseed Oil Methyl Esters –
RMEB100) – certifi ed for Euro 6.
POWER TAKE-OFF
The power take-offs on the Volvo
FE provide power for running an
auxiliary application or the vehicle’s
own load-handling equipment.
COMMON RAIL
INJECTION SYSTEM
The high-pressure electronic injec-
tion is provided by common rail, with a
maximum pressure of 2,000 bar.
QUICK RESPONSE
The D8K engine is a top performer in
any situation. Where tight man-
ouevring is required – in heavy urban
traffi c for example – you can rely on a
lightning-fast response everytime.
ADBLUE
AdBlue is added from a separate
tank, lowering exhaust emissions.
AdBlue accounts for 5–6% of the
Volvo FE engine’s diesel consump-
tion.
TORQUE
The D8K engine produces a wider,
fl atter torque and a better response
at low rpm – on curves for example.
Maximum torque is now 1,400 Nm,
which lessens the need for changing
gears.
