Auto. 

For applications where the assignments 
demand frequent starts and stops without 
interruption in power delivery, there is an 
automatic transmission. It offers maximum 
comfort for the driver.

I-Sync. 

Combine excellent driver comfort and fuel 
efficiency with I-Sync. It offers 6 gears 
with automated gearshifting for easy 
operation. 

PTO. 

All transmissions offer several power take-
off possibilities to provide power to extra 
attachments or machinery. 

Manual. 

When opting for a manual shift transmission 
you have the option of six or nine speeds. 
The six-speed transmission is suited for 
inner-city driving while the nine-speed is 
adapted for applications with high demands 
on startability and performance.

Disc brakes. 

The Volvo FL has pneumatic brakes with 
lightweight discs both front and rear. The 
Electronically controlled Brake System 
(EBS) features anti-locking function and 
provides faster braking response and less 
brake wear.

Focused driving with I-Sync. 

I-Sync – Volvo’s smooth, intelligent transmission featuring automatic gearshifting – makes 
distribution operations even more comfortable. You can devote your attention to driving 
safely, concentrating fully on the intensive pace of the city’s traffic. The gearbox has 6 gears 
and the top gear has an overdrive ratio. All gears are synchronised and gear changing is 
made with a stalk behind the steering wheel with the aid of electrohydraulics. There is no 
clutch pedal. The I-Sync also helps lower fuel consumption.

EBS. 

The Electronically controlled Brake System 
incorporates an anti-locking system and 
delivers fast braking response and reduced 
brake wear.
