Stoneleigh Park, UK, 24 June 2024: Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æ UK made its presence known at Road Transport Expo, with several stars vying for the limelight.

Ìý

Showcasing its full range of vehicles, applications and supplementary services, Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æ has something for everyone attending.

Ìý

Welcome to Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æ’s newest Super-star

Ìý

Stealing the limelight on Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æ’s internal stand is the new 11-litre Super engine, which made its first global appearance at the show.

Ìý

After a public unveiling on the first day by Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æ UK’s Managing Director Chris Newitt, visitors could get close and personal to the newest member of the Super family, which has been designed to be powerful, efficient and flexible. The perfect companion for those running weight-critical operations.

Ìý

Available in three power options – 350hp (1800Nm), 390hp (2,000Nm) and 430hp (2,200Nm) – the new Super engine has been designed to perform across a wide range of applications, from urban logistics to regional haulage.

Ìý

The Super 11-litre features some key improvements, with up to 85% of its components shared with the Super 13-litre engine. While maintenance intervals are up to 30% longer than its 9-litre counterpart, which will appeal to operators, as it increases uptime and reduces overall service costs.

The new engine is equipped with innovative solutions designed by Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æ. Including its proprietary cam phaser technology for variable valve timing, which allows for real-time engine thermal management and improved combustion performance. And its patented turbo dosing system which reduces AdBlue consumption and enhances engine efficiency.

Decarbonisation remains the key theme

Ìý

Decarbonisation was once again the core theme on Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æ’s stand, with the Swedish OEM showcasing its battery-electric and gas options to visitors at the show. Both on the stand and in the test and drive area.

Ìý

While Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æ’s BEV tractor unit was the headline act at last year’s RTX, this year, it was showcasing what it can do on the test and drive circuit. Powered by a trio of electric motors and a six-speed automatic gearbox, which produces either 400kW (536hp) or 450kW (603hp) of continuous power.

Ìý

While a total gross battery capacity of 624kWh – gives it a range of up to 350km at a gross vehicle weight of 40 tonnes, or 250km at 64 tonnes.

Ìý

On the internal stand was the first appearance of Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æ UK’s BEV skip loader, showcasing how the modular approach will apply to Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æ’s electric range. Fitted with Hyva TX12 skip loader, this 4x2 truck is powered by a 240kW electric motor and fitted with a total gross battery capacity of 468kWh batteries.

Ìý

Alongside it and in the demonstration area was Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æ’s 6x2*4 CNG tractor unit. Powered by the latest generation 13-litre biogas engine, this 460hp unit paired with the G25 gearbox and R756 rear axle used on the latest generation diesel Super powertrain, showed the capability and efficiency the latest generation gas vehicles can offer for anybody beginning their decarbonisation journey.

Ìý

It also features a new compressed gas tank option. With two large tanks installed behind the cab – it allows a total of 1,224 litres of compressed gas to be stored, culminating in the longest range ever offered by Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æ in the UK.

Whether that’s completing thorough operational analysis. Or choosing the right vehicles, picking the correct servicing package, finance options or Connected Services, through to helping make sure the right infrastructure is in place for today and into the future.

Dominating the indoor stand was Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æ’s Service 360 and ProDriver programmes. The former has seen Ìǹûvlog¹ÙÍøÍøÒ³°æ redefine its traditional services and maintenance offering, with operators able to choose from four packages – Core, Plus, Full and Pro.
