The Volvo D13 Turbo Compound engine now offers fuel savings for a wider variety of applications than ever before. Fleets that run variable load applications, including tanker, bulk haul and flat-bed deliveries, can benefit from Volvo’s next-generation Turbo Compound system.
Next generation D13TC
More savings for more applications
The Volvo D13 Turbo Compound engine now offers fuel savings for a wider variety of applications than ever before. Fleets that run variable load applications, including tanker, bulk haul and flat-bed deliveries, can benefit from Volvo’s next-generation Turbo Compound system.
Introducing our next generation turbo compound engine. Improvements that come with the Volvo D13TC engine include up to 11% fuel savings compared to model-year 2015 trucks, enhanced efficiency over a wider range of applications and a new EE Extra Efficiency drive mode.
The fuel efficiency of a direct-drive, and the performance of over drive. Allowing the truck to operate at a wide speed range efficiently, achieving up to 8.5 mpg at 85 mph.
FUEL EFFICIENCY IS OUR PRIMARY CONCERN
Introducing I-Torque
How much can you save?
Turbo Compound Calculator
Compare the cost of fuel and DEF consumption between some of our previous engines and the new Variable Geometry Turbocharger or the Turbo Compounding engines.
The simplest turbocharger design is one whose turbine geometry are fixed. With fewer moving parts there is less chance for mechanical failure. Which is why the D13TC simple design makes it the most reliable engine we've ever built.
Last Longer
The D13TC delivers extra horsepower while operating at lower RPM, so there’s less strain on the engine. The fixed geometry turbo is designed to meet the 1.2 million mile B50 life of the engine, with no extra maintenance required.
Shifting Forward
By combining the next generation of I-Shift with the D13TC, you get application-specific solutions that exceed expectations for fuel efficiency, performance and driver productivity.

COMPATIBLE WITH THE D13TC
A truly unique engine for a truly unique truck. Available only for VNL, the D13TC brings even better fuel economy savings and more power.
"One-box" aftertreatment system offers smaller packaging and reduces weight by 17 pounds from previous systems. Provides better thermal encasing of exhaust energy, improves muffler efficiency.
The Volvo I-Shift makes drivers more productive, always monitoring grade, speed, weight, and engine load, shifting when necessary or holding a gear - whichever saves more fuel.
Our world-class dealer network with more than 430 locations means your trucks are never far from the quality care and maintenance you expect when you buy a Volvo truck.
