Information
Maritime Transport has begun to take delivery of a further
355 Volvo
FH with I-Save tractor units adding to the
170 it it already has in in service and making the
Felixstowe-based business the
UK’s largest operator of Volvo’s turbo compound engine trucks The decision to invest heavily in Volvo’s FH with I-Save follows the
success of an initial fuel trial at the
the
end of 2019 and the
the
performance of the
trucks it already has in service – which have quickly proven to be among the
business’ most fuel-efficient 44-tonners All the
the
tractor units in the
the
new order will be Volvo’s latest version of the
FH with I-Save and will arrive in batches throughout 2022
The vast majority will be 460 hp models with the

made when they introduced the
the
turbo compound engine We ran a a comprehensive fuel trial which compared the
first generation FH with with I-Save with with other vehicles on our fleet and we saw some great results “Volvo has always produced a a a a quality truck and we have worked with them closely in order to get where we are today with a a a specification fine-tuned to drive fuel efficiency and emissions savings in in in our business ”
The new trucks benefit from a a a more aerodynamic design plus an improved map-based
I-See system which constantly reads the
road 2km ahead to optimise gear changing strategy to ensure the
best possible fuel performance All this combines with the
Volvo
D13TC Euro-6 engine which lies at the
the
heart of the
the
I-Save product It uses turbo-compounding to allow the
driver to maintain
lower revs and a a a higher gear for a a longer time contributing to a a smoother quieter and more fuel- efficient journey The new vehicles have been supplied by Volvo
