What if a trucker designed a truck?
“You used to have to choose between power and efficiency. We set out to fix that.” - Joel Morrow
Watch as driver Joel Morrow sees his new Volvo VNL with I-Torque for the first time and chats with Volvo’s Rob Simpson about what makes it the perfect balance of power and efficiency
Joel gets Radio Nemo host Tim Ridley out of the studio and behind the wheel to talk about life on the road, all while testing the VNL I-Torque’s fuel efficiency (even at 80 MPH on the Salt Flats)
Joel meets up with Al & Kym Hemmerson - a married couple with 6 million miles on the road - to talk about Al’s 47 years of driving and the comfort of the I-Shift before taking in the red rocks at one of Joel’s favorite stops
It’s time to toss the keys to Sharae Moore, a driver and founder of SHE Trucking; she and Joel discuss her efforts to help women and minorities in trucking before uphill testing the power and performance of the new Volvo VNL with I-Torque
What’s included
D13 Turbo Compound engine
A truly unique engine for a truly unique truck. Available only for Volvo VNL, the D13TC brings even better fuel economy savings and more power
I-Shift transmission
The 13-speed I-Shift combines the fuel efficiency advantages of direct drive with the performance and flexibility of overdrive, optimizing the truck’s speed and gear shifting in the most fuel efficient way for any type of route or terrain
Volvo I-See predictive cruise control
I-See employs real-time map-based data and GPS position to map road topography. Together with the dynamic performance and variable gearing of the I-Shift transmission, I-See becomes an intelligent cruise control that uses its knowledge of the road to save time and fuel.
Adaptive gear shift
When steep-grade startability and low-speed maneuverability are critical, the I-Shift with Crawler Gears is the answer for maximum GCW loads, enabling controlled travel at extremely slow speeds
