FH series –
fil-fueling Fleet Operators Dreams
Every drop counts says Volvo Trucks. So how about 11%?
Cutting fuel costs and emissions should be easy. That’s why Volvo has packaged its most efficient fuel-saving options
into two packages. One of them adds features to the truck itself. The other is a collection of several useful services.
If you sign up for both, you can count on reducing your fuel consumption by up to a full 11%. You can of course also
get the two separately, or just pick the features you like.
Services Package
Fuel advice
Gives you access to Volvo’s fuel management coaches – true experts in
reducing fuel consumption. Every month, you receive enhanced
fuel reports with personalised advice on how to
improve. You can get more advice via the
dedicated help desk, or log on to the
site to find hands-on tips and
inspiration.

Vehicle Package
Power-steering pump
with variable displacement
Can a power-steering pump really save fuel?
Sure it can. Because the displacement can
be controlled exactly, no energy is
consumed unnecessarily.
150A ALTERNATOR.
More power
for less fuel
A very energy-efficient alternator,
needing less fuel to charge the batteries.
Especially valuable if you consume a lot
of electrical power, for example when
you’re spending nights in the cab.
I-See.
The far-sighted CO -PILOT.
I-See memorises the roads you’ve
travelled. When driving a familiar route,
it controls gearshifts and speed to make
maximum use of the truck’s momentum,
leading to substantial fuelsavings.
Engine idle shutdown.
Save fuel while standing still.
A smart feature that lets you save fuel by automatically turning the engine
off after two and a half minutes of idling.
Clutchable air compressor.
No unnecessary pressure. The air compressor is automatically declutched
when not needed, leading to lower fuel consumption.
