Why Volvo d13 Heavy Duty Truck Engine is Good

 

The new d13 tc Volvo heavy duty truck engine provides greater fuel savings across more applications. The air flows through into the heavy-duty truck engine and into the cylinder where it is compressed. Injectors spray a fine mist of fuel into the compressed air causing it to ignite. The improved weight piston design guides the flame back to the cylinder center for a more concentrated efficient burn, as hot exhaust flows out excess heat and pressure are recovered in the turbo compound unit capturing additional power. This turbine directs the recaptured energy to a gear link which then pushes the crankshaft harnessing energy that would have been lost and allowing the heavy-duty truck engine to run much more efficiently the result is a Volvo v heavy-duty truck engine with our next generation d13 tc, that’s six percent more fuel efficient than our current d13 heavy-duty truck engine and up to 11 percent more efficient compared with 2015 model trucks heavy-duty truck engines.
