KingOfAutomotiveNews - Volvo Trucks in its official page saying that the speed
record-breaking event will be conducted by a truck Volvo FM type is
nicknamed 'Iron Knight' which hold the engine D13.
In addition to D13 engine and transmission factory standard I-Shift Dual Clutch, Iron Knight truck was built using a custom component. According to Volvo Trucks, it takes a slick collaboration between engineers, designers, engineers to produce trucks that have ferocious performance.
Volvo Trucks is no stranger to the terms of his ability to mix high-performance truck engines. Even the Swedish automotive giant is ever show ability to exhibit the ability Dynamic Steering System on FM truck in a movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. But this time Volvo Trucks wanted to show off the ability in the real world through the efforts of the record-breaking speed.
"Iron Knight is the perfect way to demonstrate competence and innovative strength of Volvo Trucks," says Claes Nilsson, President and CEO of Volvo Trucks.
At the same time, the development of high-performance truck is also used as a way to explore new ground for poured into the solution in terms of technical and design. The ultimate goal is to transfer this approach to the process of making the production version of the truck.
With a powerful engine of 2400 HP and a torque of 6,000 Nm (4,425 lb-ft), Iron Knight should be able to overcome the resistance of gravity perspective.
"In efforts to solve the world speed record, you must have an unusual performance. And I-Shift Dual Clutch transmission is best to overcome the challenges it is because the gearbox is able to maintain the torque at the wheels during gear changes, just like in a race car. Thanks to this transmission, Iron Knight can accelerate without losing a lot of time during tooth movement, "said Volvo's engineers testers, Niklas Oberg.
Besides having an impressive power and torque, the Iron Knight benefited by weight weighing 4.5 tonnes and power to weight ratio of about 0.5 hp / kg. Some modifications were made, namely in software, cabin which uses glass fiber material and large-sized air intakes on the side-skirts.
