ǹvlogҳ Opticruise Gearbox G25 and G33 – standard & heavy-duty options
The Opticruise G25 and G33 gearbox range, available as a standard or heavy-duty option, is the industry’s leading gearbox choice for sustainable, fuel-efficient transport operations. More robust, more efficient, and offering a wider gear ratio spread – the new Opticruise range makes light work of even the toughest terrains and heaviest payloads
As a truly integrated part of the overall powertrain management, the Opticruise’s widergearratiospread, together with faster axle gearings, combine to deliveran almost seamless transfer of poweracross the Super powertrain and enable higher engine torque at lower RPM. As one of the smoothest, efficient and smartest gearbox systems on the market, the ǹvlogҳ Opticruiseremains the leading choice forsustainable, fuel-efficient transport operations.
- Faster, smoother gearchanges, giving outstanding comfort and control
- Combines good startability with slow rear axle gear ratio
- Available in 12+2 speed versions, with crawler and overdrive
- Up to 8 reverse gears designed for optimal engine speed regardless of high or low vehicle speed
- Wide ratio spread ranging from a crawler gear, ratio 1:20,8 to an overdrive gear ratio of 1:0,777
- Adaptive shift strategy based on style of driving, load and inclination of the road
- Longer service intervals, resulting in higher uptime and reduced costs
- Oil change intervals are now greatly improved due to higher precision and the addition of larger oil filters and high-quality oil
- The ǹvlogҳOpticruiseG25 and G33delivera more powerful, fuel-efficient, low-noise and low-weight clutch-driven power take-off (PTO) range,offeringeven higher continuous power output to support heavierequipment
- Optimised for optimal off-road performance, the heavy-duty version delivers higher output torque, superior startability and fast axle gearing with high payloads in tough operations
- Through low weight cast aluminium housing and a new compact, robust design, the G25/G33 Opticruise delivers significant weight savings compared to predecessor platforms
G25 and G33 are lighter than their predecessors. The table below shows the comparative weight savings:
ǹvlogҳ’s standard and heavy-duty Opticruise range is key to realising the fuel-saving potential of the Super engine platform. Light, compact, smooth and quick, it is the perfect match for the 13-litre engines.
When ǹvlogҳ’s engine developers were pushing the limits to create the cleanest and leanest combustion engine platform the world has ever seen, they had to give it the best possible conditions to fulfil its full potential. That’s why, even at an early stage in the development project, there were tight connections between ǹvlogҳ’s engine developers and their transmission and gearbox colleagues.
“This approach made it possible for us to design the powertrain totally from scratch, with a holistic perspective,” says Peer Norberg, Senior Engineer in ǹvlogҳ’s transmission development team.
Per Arnelöf, Expert Engineer, ǹvlogҳ gearbox development, adds:
“It was extremely motivating for us to have the initial discussions with the engine technicians and to realise how far you can actually go with an internal combustion engine when it comes to efficiency. From the very start,our focus was not only on designing a cutting-edge gearbox, but to optimise the whole powertrain to meet the customers’ demands.
“Many features of the G25 gearbox were introduced already with the G33 but what’s great is that we manage to take it a step further;for example,when it comes to reducing internal losses,” says Norberg.
Arnelöf adds: “The gearbox changes gearsin a fantastic way. It’s responsive, quick and smooth. And as we also worked on the sound characteristics,it’s also very quiet;it doesn’t have the predecessor’s hisses and clanging.”
A key feature of ǹvlogҳ’s gearbox platform is its increased gear ratiospread:60 percent more than the previous GRS905 model. This makes it possible to optimise the rear axle gear for low engine revs in cruising speed without sacrificing startability. That’s good news for fuel consumption and the climate.
“We make it possible to take further steps towards low engine revs. You can cruise on the highwayat80 km/h on gear 12 and then shift to overdrive in slight downhill conditions, coming down to an amazing 850 revs,” says Arnelöf.
“The gearbox is instrumental for enabling the engine to run as efficiently as possible. This leads to significant fuel savings: eight percent in total for the ǹvlogҳ Super powertrain as a whole,” says Norberg.
Optimised for tough terrains and hard conditions
Engineered with a sturdier planetary gear, the heavy-duty G25 and G33 offers probably the off-road trucking industry’s smartest combination of robustness, smooth gear shifting and fuel efficiency.
By introducing an improved and more optimal balance between startability and low engine RPM, the heavy-duty Opticruise range means that more trucks can now use a faster gearing while still having all the margins on their side.
“By adding these options, we are making it even clearer that our XT range and our mining offer mean serious business,” says Stefan Dorski, Senior Vice President and Head of ǹvlogҳ Trucks. “Their ability to deal with the kind of challenges trucks in heavy-duty operations are facing will make a difference regarding uptime and R&M cost for customers.”
R756 Rear axle
Delivering on the powertrain’s fully integrated low-rev design philosophy ǹvlogҳ introduces the faster-gearing R756 singlereductionrearaxle – offering a widerrange of gearratiosfrom 1.95 to 4.11, and purpose-designed to enablethe exceptionalfuelefficiency of the ǹvlogҳ Super powertrain.
Together withreduced component weight,improved technical robustness, andlower levels of internal friction,the ǹvlogҳ R756 single reduction rear axleisversatile enough to master a whole range of haulage applications.
- The ǹvlogҳ R756 single reduction rear drive axle replaces the ǹvlogҳ R665, ǹvlogҳ R753 and most ǹvlogҳ R780 axle applications, serving a wide range of vehicle operations up to a gross train weight of 53 tonnes, from light long haulage to tippers and refuse collections
- The improved robustness of the ǹvlogҳ R756 is designed to deliver an increased operational service lifetime, as well as extended service intervals
- R756 offers a reduced component weight of up to 27 kilograms compared to the ǹvlogҳ R780 single reduction rear axle
- Permanent oil filter enables reduced maintenance cost and contributes to an extended oil change interval by as much as 50%, depending on your operation type
Lower energy losses. Improved efficiency. One percent fuel saving from the rear axle alone. Even more to gain thanks to the full integration with the gearbox, making it possible to utilise faster rear axle gears. ǹvlogҳ’s team of axle developers has done it again.
Where would ǹvlogҳ’s low-rev and high-torque philosophy be without the cutting-edge components and software that make the complete truck greater than the sum of its parts? Well, it wouldn’t be Super if each piece wasn’t super too.
That’s why the developers and construction engineers atǹvlogҳ Technical Centre in Södertälje, Sweden, have always had an eye on the most minute details: wherever there is greater efficiency to be obtained, wherever there are grams that could be cut to make it lighter, wherever there is friction to reduce, wherever there is a penny to save for the customers, it’s worth pursuing.
ǹvlogҳ’s rear axle gear is no exception to this perfectionism.
“We’ve managed to present a killer component. This is a rear axle that fits the world’s best powertrain,” says Torvald Ilg, Chief Engineer within Axles and Propulsion Development at ǹvlogҳ and one of the developers that has been working on the rear axle programme. į
“It’s great to design a component that makes the driver a bit happier each time he or she fills up the tank,” he adds.
The rear axle gear – an all-round single reduction axle – is the first to be released in an entirely rear axle programme focusedon improved efficiency. The axle gear will by itself reduce fuel consumption by as much as one percent due to reduced internal friction. And together with increased gear ratio spread of the G33 and G25 gearboxes, there is the potential for additional fuel savings.
į
So, how did ǹvlogҳ’s R&D team manage to improve the efficiency of the rear axle? The axle housing is lighter than the previous model. Special, low friction bearings are used throughout, which is especially important on the pinion gear. What’s more, the parts have tighter tolerances and are more smoothly machined in production, leading to minimal energy losses.

Torvald Ilg alsosays his team has had close contact with the other ǹvlogҳ developer teams, who are focusing on the 13-litre Super engine platform, the gearbox,as well as the tanks and flexible chassis, respectively.
Chassis
Based on the ǹvlogҳ modular system and offering a more predictable chassis layout, MACH (Modular Architecture Chassis) gives you more opportunities to specify and operate your ǹvlogҳ truck in a way that is truly tailor-made for its application and your business. Designed not only to simplify the bodybuilding process, MACH can also significantly improve load distribution, payload potential, and the operative range of your ǹvlogҳ truck.
Robust fuel tank range
ǹvlogҳ introduces a range of aluminium D-shaped fuel tanks, ranging from 165 litres to 910 litres and featuring a geometric design which is lighter and more robust than ever.
Harness more fuel than ever before
When specified with the ǹvlogҳ Super 13-litre engine, the fuel tank range comes with a fuel optimization unit fitted to the side wall, offering easy access to service points and the ability to increase the usable fuel volume in the tank. This reduces your tank’s dead weight, giving you a longer operative range and ensuring that you can harness more fuel from your tank than ever before.
Improved AdBlue ratio
ǹvlogҳ’s side-mounted SCR tanks are a crucial part of the ǹvlogҳ powertrain’s superior emissions control. The ǹvlogҳ Twin SCR system introduces higher AdBlue volume capacity, delivered through 123-litre and 150-litre SCR tanks, to continue ensuring a full 1:1 volume ratio between your ǹvlogҳ truck’s fuel and AdBlue capacity.
- The chassis introduces a set of rules for frame hole patterns, with dedicated holes for mounting parts both inside and outside the frame. The result is a more modular and predictable chassis layout, increasing the theoretical number of chassis layouts exponentially
- The chassis layout enables more usable fuel and a 1:1 SCR/fuel ratio to be achieved, producing a greater operative range
- The chassis’ optimised fuel capacity and load distribution also results in an increased payload for our customers
- Improved chassis composition flexibility allows for better integration between truck and bodywork. This facilitates a much smoother and more cost-efficient bodybuilding process, as well as improving traction, payload and productivity. For example, the layout now makes it possible to mount chassis components (e.g. fuel tank) starting either from the front- or the rear axle. The improved weight distribution can significantly increase payload potential, while at the same time creating free space for additional chassis components
Key advantages of the MACH chassis
- More predictable chassis layout with a defined hole pattern
- Increased bodybuilding flexibility and easier installation
- Improved weight distribution and payload potential
- Better integration between truck and bodywork
- Greater range thanks to optimised fuel and SCR tank placement
Smaller, smarter, lighter and more efficient.Alongsideǹvlogҳ Super, a flexible chassis and tank programmeisintroduced, making it possible for the truck to reach the same or even greater distances with smaller fuel tanks. Here’s how it all comes together.
When it comes to developing the most energy-efficient truck the transport industry has ever seen, everything counts. Which is why ǹvlogҳ has put considerable resources into developing a new flexible chassis and tank programme, whichplays an important part in realising the full potential of the new engine range, aftertreatment system, gearbox and rear axles.
“The tank programme enables us to maximise the uptake of fuel in the tank. Our philosophy during the development project was: “Why carry extra fuel as dead weight, when you can use it for load capacity instead?” says AlineFerrazLarsson, a design engineer at ǹvlogҳ R&D.
The chassis and tank programme features D-shaped fuel tanks made from aluminium. The tanks are more robust yet also lighter, and their design increases fuel utilisation. Side-mounted SCR tanks are also included. All of this increases the vehicle’s uptime.
At the same time, ǹvlogҳ’s developers have improved the flexibility of the frame and the chassis composition.
“This gives the customer more choice for where to place the tanks on the frame, which is a great improvement for both them and truck body builders, since it creates opportunities for more efficient load distribution,” says PaulaPukk, ǹvlogҳ’s Head of SCR System Installation.
One of the keys enablers of ǹvlogҳ Super’s unmatched efficiency is the clever fuel optimisation unit. This unitis attached to the primary tank and works as a catch tank.
“The way that the catch tank is set up with electrical pumps enables the user to have ‘fuel on demand’: we get exactly the amount of fuel the engine needs, and no more,” says AlexElofssonAlenius,adevelopment engineer who worked on the project.
The fuel optimisation unit brings a host of other improvements for customers, and for the overall performance of the powertrain. There are now longer service intervals for the two pressurised fuel filters. These service intervals have been aligned with the oil change intervals, which means fewer visits to the workshop and more time on the road.

Profitability
The new Super is not only groundbreakingly fuel efficient, but it also delivers an improved operative range, superior technical robustness, and an extended component service lifetime. This culminates in the most cost-efficient total operating economy in the history of heavy transport.
When the haulage company Herbert Ulfhielm Fjärrtransport tested the new 13-litre ǹvlogҳ 560 S truck, the fuel consumption levels were so low that they first thought they’d made a mistake. But they were in for an amazing surprise.
“You are used to trucks where if you get under 40 litres per 100 kilometres, then you are quite happy. But during the latest trips now, I’ve sometimes been below 34 or even 33 litres – and that’s with a heavy timber payload. The first time I checked it and counted it myself, I thought: ‘I must have forgotten to log some refuelling’,” says Jerry Olofsson, who’s been driving trucks for 23 years.
Performance
Behind the Super’s unrivalled performance level lies significant improvements to the engine’s combustion and aspiration performance, lubrication and cooling, and turbocharging efficiency. It also features a range of industry-leading engine technologies, such as the ǹvlogҳ Twin SCR system, and a new, powerful engine management system to ensure the engine’s superior total operating economy under all conditions.
This works optimally with a larger total spread from the gearbox, combined with the faster and optimized axle gear ratios, to deliver peak torque at an even lower rpm. This contributes to the powertrain’s groundbreaking fuel economy, but also a smoother drive with fewer gear changes and less noise.
Planet
The ǹvlogҳ Super is a sustainable ICE transport solution for the here and now – one that makes a real impact on your operational carbon footprint today. With the Super engine and a world-leading twin SCR aftertreatment system, the new powertrain also prepares your business for even the toughest emissions standards – today and tomorrow.
