Chronology
Engine
Predecessor FL7
The all new diesel engine built by Deutz and features a common rail
fuel injection concept. The engines are available in Euro III and Euro
D7E
IV requirements where latter is achieved by SCR for exhaust gases
treatment. The common rail is a fuel injection technology which uses
"common rail" as a reservoir to supply fuel injector with fuel operating
at injection pressure up 1600 bar. The system is popular on diesel
engines up to 8 litres capacity as used by e.g. MAN, DAF, Iveco and
Mercedes Benz.
Engine design follows the rest of the Volvo engines where timing gears
are located at the rear, which allows for better air flow around engine
area. The engine also comes with integrated engine brake available in
two versions, either a stand-alone butterfly type exhaust brake or with
a JAK integrated compression brake from Jacobs Vehicle System.[1] Overview

The vehicle is available with both manual and automatic material
transmissions. The manual gearboxes are made by ZF[1] (http://www.

Production
The Volvo Trucks Corp. has introduced a hybrid Volvo FE. This truck can drive 1,5 km on its electric engine.[2] The truck

The 2013 model

A new version of the Volvo FE was launched on May 14, 2013,[4] together with the new Volvo FL. One of the new features
is the ability to equip the truck with the I-Shift automatic transmission, and another feature is ESP (Electronic Stability
Program) which helps the driver to keep the truck on the road.
The engine of the 2013 Volvo FE is a 6-cylinder D8 engine with a displacement of 7.7 litres.
