BETTER FUEL EFFICIENCY

The D13A400 features Volvo EMS (Engine Management System),

a wholly electronically controlled system which provides precise

and efficient engine control.

The engine control module takes in data from several sensors

on the engine and the vehicle. The control unit compares current

readings with stored parameters and adjusts fuel quantity and

injection timing accordingly, throughout the engine’s operation.Volvo EMS is integrated with the truck’s electronic system and

permits advanced communication with the driver via the informa-

tion display.

The D13A400’s gear driven camshaft ensures precise control over

the unit injectors and valve timing. The unit injectors are posi-

tioned vertically and centrally which provides extremely fast, well

controlled injection and symmetrical distribution of the fuel in the

combustion chamber. EMS controls the fuel injection via electro-

magnetic valves in each injector. It is controlled entirely electroni-

cally. The injection pressure can be as high as 2000 bar, resulting

in a very fast injection sequence. The injectors are supplied with

fuel via a shared duct in the cylinder head. Pre-circulation ensuresthe correct fuel temperature.

LONGER SERVICE LIFE

Volvo engine management system ensures longer service life by

eliminating the risk for severe wear or major damage to the engine

namely

• Engine protection at cold starts - limits revolution until oil has

circulated through the engine

• Raised idling speed when the engine is cold - faster warm-up

to attain operating temperature

• Reduction in fuel supply if engine temperature rises too high

• Smoke limitation

• Over reviving protection

The EMS display helps in quick diagnostics and avoids time

delay compared to trial and error methods. It also provides clear

& structures indications about the truck status and other vehicle

information. Fuel consumption & trip data can be read out from the

driver information system display

FULLY SYNCHRONISED GEARBOX

Volvo FM400 tipper is fitted with fully synchronized 14-Speed

splitter - range gearbox matched perfectly to the engine charac-

teristics. Close & well balanced ratios make it easy for the truck to

climb steep gradients and facilitate smooth acceleration

• Volvo VT2214B, 14-Speed with fully synchronized 14-Speed

splitter - range gearbox with cable controlled shifting

• Extreme low 16.86:1 improves startability when hauling heavy

loads in difficult driving conditions• Pressure - feed lubrication with in-built oil pump & full flow oil

filter ensure high reliability and long life

• Gearbox oil cooler maintains oil temperature & hence oil quality

for longer service intervals

DRIVE AXLES

Volvo FM400 tipper is fitted with heavy duty hub reduction tandem

drive axles where the main reduction takes place in the hub and

hence reduces the forces and stresses on drive shafts and crown

wheel pinion. The rear axle is matched to tyre size & economic

engine speed

• Volvo RT3210HV Hub reduction axle

• Robust differential locks improve grip on slippery surfaces. Dif-

ferential locks is available between the wheels & also between

the axles

CHASSIS

• Completely factory built , ready to use vehicle, including body,

cabin etc ensures highest quality from bumper to bumper

• Robust engine sump and radiator - protection plate fitted below

front bumper , minimises the risk of an unplanned stop

• A 5mm thick inner chassis liner from engine to rear end of

the chassis provides additional reinforcement to the frame ,

reduces stress on the chassis

• Parabolic front springs allow high spring deflection and low

internal friction in the spring package hence reduced stress on

the chassis frame. It also enables better riding comfort at high

average speeds

• Rubber springs between the rear springs and rear axle also

add to better riding comfort under all type of road conditions

• Low turning circle due to larger wheel angles and a short wheel

base give excellent maneuverability on narrow roads and site

operations

BRAKES

• Volvo FM400 comes with Z cam self adjusting brakes. The brake

shoes being fully floating type, centre to the brake drum as they

wear out. The braking force being evenly distributed the braking

is efficient and effective. Brake lining wear is reduced tempera-

tures are lower and service life of the brakes is extended. Since

activation of the brakes are faster and less air supply is required

to apply the brakes, this gives a better feeling of control

HIGH GROUND CLEARANCE

• The Volvo FM400 tippers large size tyres along with a straight

I beam front axle provides increased ground clearance. In addi-

tion the engine is lifted higher and provided with a heavy-duty

sump guard covering the complete sump

TOUGHER TYRES

Volvo FM400 tippers have always been at home on the on road or

on the off road , in construction sites or in the mines - maintaining

a high performance level across gradients and through extreme

dust and heat conditions

• Volvo FM400 tipper is fitted with 12x24 off-highway pattern

tyres which are designed exclusive for tough off road

conditions in mines. Models with box-body are provided with11R20 tyre on-road tyres. The selection of tyres depends on

the usage conditions which means longer life and better drive

control

OPTIMISED BODY SPECIFICATIONS

• Front mounted single tipping cylinder reduces the tipping force

and minimses the stress on the chassis frame since the tipping

force is transferred directly to the front axle ( with under body

centre mounted tip cylinders, high tipping forces are transmit-

ted to the middle of the chassis frame)

• Front mounted tipping cylinder exerts less stress on the body

due to lower tipping force

• Tip cylinder fitted above the chassis frame is well protected

from dust and dirt showered by the tyres

• The front - mounted tip cylinder with trunion base and a strong

foundation gives better tip stability and withstand 9 Tonne

metre side loads while tipping on uneven ground

• Tip stabilizer fitted between the body & chassis frame further

improves stability

• All-welded body, sand blasted and sprayed with 4 layers of

primer / top coat

• C-Section subframe with flexible attachment in the front and

rigid attachment at the rear

TESTED FOR YOUR SAFETY

Since 1969, Volvo Trucks has had its own accident research com-

mission which, has documented and analysed more than 1,400

accidents involving Volvo Trucks. This has given us a unique bank

of experience, forming the basis of our dedication to designing

even safer vehicles. The new Volvo FM is an accumulated result

of our work over the years, which also makes it one of the safest

trucks in the world.

• Crash Tested Safety Cabin - The Volvo FM has a cab frame

made of high-tensile and is tested according to the world’s

toughest norms- the Swedish Impact Test and the barrier crash

test that Volvo Trucks has developed itself. No other truck car-

ries out more comprehensive safety tests than Volvo does.

• Seats with integrated head restraint for driver and co-driver

• 3 point inertia seat belts for driver and co-driver

• Energy absorbing safety steering wheel

• Integrated FUPS - Front Under-run Protection System installed

as standard enhances safety of other users especially small

cars

• Injury-preventive interior trim/ instrument panel.The instrument panel and all interior trim details at knee height

are made of energy absorbing materials to reduce the risk of

personal injury. The steering wheel deforms in a predetermined

way if the driver is thrown against it. All the fabrics are fire

resistant, and the pedals are designed to minimize the risk of

injury to feet and legs
