if you are interested to buy Volvo xc90 for sale, you should know that Volvo is very dedicated in innovation and in its updated version Volvo Trucks will market, as an option, the I-Shift Dual Clutch automated transmission on the specific variant. It has a dual-clutch system that avoids the interruption of torque delivery during gear changes, preventing the truck from losing thrust and speed and giving the driver a more comfortable ride. Here's how it works.
For Active And Responsive Controls
The prospective buyer of used Volvo xc90 should know that the dual-clutch I-Shift gearbox is especially useful in situations where frequent gear changes are required, such as driving on gradients or with numerous bends. In these cases, in fact, it is important not to lose the connection between the engine and the transmission even in the very short time of the clutch disconnection. It's like having two changes: when a relationship is an operative, the next one is already engaged and the double clutch passes from one to another without interrupting the power supply, keeping the engine torque. The elements that distinguish it are the two input shafts and the double clutch. In practice, the I-Shift Dual Clutch can be described as a system composed of two connected gears. When a gearbox is active, the next gear is already preselected in the other. During gear shifting, the first gearbox is disengaged at the same instant when the second gear is engaged, so everything happens without interruptions in torque delivery (except in the case of the change of range, which takes place.
In Very Difficult Operating Situations
According to Volvo Trucks, this change brings great advantages in driving, especially in the heaviest transports and in the very difficult operating situations. In addition to routes with gradients and curves, the I-Shift Dual Clutch proves useful in the city and in the transport of liquid products or those that act easily, such as live objects. In fact, gear changes with traditional systems cause small displacements of the load, which do not occur with the double clutch. In addition, the smoother ride reduces the risk of getting bogged down on slippery or irregular roads, such as quarries or woods (for timber transport). The revised Volvo Trucks gearbox is based on the already known automated I-Shift, but the front has been completely redesigned and features.Â
Reduced Operational Cost
To be precise, before pay the Volvo xc90 price, the discussed info here should be useful for a prospect buyers and their final decision. Besides, the engine is an excellent example of how the combination of numerous minor refinements can lead to significant overall improvement. The fuel economy allowed by these recent improvements depends on the characteristics of the vehicle and the area of application. Other factors contributing significantly to the reduction in fuel consumption are the improvements to the aerodynamics of the cab. To make the airflow more uniform, Volvo Trucks has optimized the front bumper spoiler, deflector panels, mudguards and splash guards. and the vain wheels. These are small details, but combined they provide customers with significant benefits. Please note that its I-Shift Dual Clutch, with features never seen before in the heavy vehicle sector. The double clutch ensures optimized gearboxes, with no interruptions in torque and superior power. And all this without compromising consumption. When transport tasks demand high performance and frequent gear changes, the I-Shift Dual Clutch ensures unprecedented driving comfort.
