VOLVO D11 AND D13

Never compromise.

For rough roads and tough loads that are everyday occurrences in vocational applications, we’ve created two outstanding options that deliver all the power and efficiency you need.

Volvo D11

325-425 hp, 1,250-1,550 lb-ft.

Volvo’s family of engines builds on a foundation of proven, mature architecture that leverages innovative hardware to maximize efficiency. The VHD comes standard with the Volvo D11 which is designed with the highest power density ratio we offer. It provides comparable hp and torque to bigger block engines, while weighing 345 pounds less than the Volvo D13. The D11’s ratings begin at 325 hp and end at an impressive 425 hp, complete with 1,550 lb-ft. of torque.

Volvo D13

405-500 hp, 1,450-1,850 lb-ft.

When greater horsepower and torque are required for the application, the Volvo D13 is ready to answer the call. Several power ratings are available, topping out at 500 hp and 1,850 lb-ft. of torque. The D13 delivers everything you need to move on or off-road with ease, even on steep grades. Straight torque and multi-torque offerings are available when selecting the D13.

Dynamic duo

The D11 and D13 are designed to pair with our innovative I-Shift for Severe Duty or I-Shift with Crawler Gears (13 or 14 speed). These rugged automated manual transmissions feature upgraded engaging sleeves, clutch durability, and torsional dampening to withstand the rigors of heavy payloads. Volvo engines paired with an I-Shift keep fuel costs down, slow driveline wear, reduce noise, extend powertrain life, and lower maintenance costs.

Power take-off

The VHD has you covered when it comes to PTO configurations. Drive connections are available in three positions (front engine PTO, rear engine PTO, and transmission-mounted PTO) for gear pumps, piston pumps, or direct drive shaft connections. PTO’s on the Volvo powertrain provide superior reliability because the pumps are direct coupled during factory installation.

Powerful and precise engine braking

Service brakes can take a beating on jobsites. The intelligent Volvo Engine Brake (VEB) is an enhanced system that gives drivers precise control over engine braking and saves the truck’s service brakes for when they’re needed most. It can provide phenomenal retarding horsepower even at low engine rpm and vehicle speeds, allowing drivers to walk the vehicle downhill without a foot on the brake pedal. The VEB will extend brake life and reduce maintenance costs for your VHD.
