PERFORMANCE SOFTWARE PACKAGE

Volvo VHDs offer Enhanced Performance mode, or P+, on I-Shift transmissions with Volvo

engines, adapted for construction and heavy haul applications. This mode includes various

functions that adapt gearshifts and gear selection to poor driving surfaces and hilly road

stretches. It also includes functions that aid starting from a standstill in less than ideal

driving conditions.

POWER LAUNCH

The P+ Power Launch feature is achieved as engine rpms are increased as necessary to

provide extra torque when starting from a standstill, when loaded to capacity, or on poor

terrain. The feature matches torque to the terrain minimizing wheel slip on soft surfaces.

Volvo’s I-Shift transmission offers the convenience of an automatic with

the performance of a manual. With the I-Shift transmission, you’re always in

the right gear no matter the payload or terrain. I-Shift also means quicker

shifting during critical load-pulling scenarios and a quick rocking response

in adverse conditions. The convenience of an automated transmission also

ensures less driver fatigue for optimal productivity.
