Volvo’s Iron Knight Truck Sets New Speed Record Volvo is again using high-profile stunts and viral video to highlight its engineering skills, and the latest is The Iron Knight, the world’s fastest truck, breaking the record set by a previous special Volvo truck. The record-breaker, which has the DNA of Volvo’s FH on steroids, is custom-built in every respect – except for a modified Volvo D13 engine and the series-manufactured I-Shift Dual Clutch transmission. The engine has 2,400 hp and the truck can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. Nigel Atterbury, Volvo Trucks Senior Designer, explains in the video, “We’ve pretty much taken a standard gearbox and packaged it into this fantastic beast behind us.” On a closed-off airfield in Falifors, Sweden, the Iron Knight set two FIA world land speed records. Its two one-kilometer runs averaged 21.290 seconds or 169.083 km/hour (or about 105 mph), and the half-kilometer average was 13.710 seconds and 131.291 km/hour (about 82 mph). The truck was piloted by Boije Ovebrink, who has more than 30 years’ experience of both car and truck racing. He has previously beaten five speed records and in 1994 was European Truck Racing Champion. “Volvo Trucks’ The Iron Knight can be summarized in one single word: perfection,” said Ovebrink. “It’s beautiful to look at and is an unparalleled powerhouse when you floor the accelerator. This is the third record-breaking truck I’ve driven, and I can’t think of a better follow-up to Wild Viking and Mean Green,” says Ovebrink. The last time we reported on Ovebrink, back in 2012, he was driving Mean Green, said to be the world’s fastest hybrid truck. Nigel Atterbury, Volvo Trucks Senior Designer, explains that compared to Mean Green, the Iron Knight is 1,000 kilos lighter and puts out 600 horsepower more. Of course, the point was to demonstrate the I-Shift Dual Clutch, which allowed the truck to shift without power losses, so there’s a second video looking at the technology behind the truck. “This shows that our I-Shift Dual Clutch transmission has enormous potential and that it does not let you down under extreme conditions,” says Claes Nilsson, President and CEO of Volvo Trucks. “The fact that the world record-breaker uses the very same gearbox that is found in our series-built FH trucks is something that we’re really proud of.” See the original story here: http://www.truckinginfo.com/blog/all-thats-trucking/story/2016/08/volvo-s-iron-knight-truck-sets-new-speed-record.aspx More Stories November 10, 2016 READ MORE September 1, 2016 READ MORE READ MORE

Kamion Iron Knight kompanije Volvo Trucks dvostruki je brzinski rekorder – srušio je svjetske rekorde u kretanju iz mjesta u kategorijama na 500 i 1000 metara. Volvo Iron Knight, kojega vozi Boije Ovebrink, službeni je svjetski brzinski rekorder na 500 i 1000 metara. Tijekom rada na kamionu, stručni tim kompanije Volvo Trucks pronašao je inovativne načine s objedini tehnološka rješenja i dizajn. Kamion koji ruši rekorde prilagođen je u svakom aspektu, osim motora i serijski proizvedenog mjenjača I-Shift s dvostrukom spojkom. „To pokazuje da naš mjenjač I-Shift s dvostrukom spojkom ima ogroman potencijal i da vas u ekstremnim uvjetima neće ostaviti na cjedilu. Činjenica da se u kamionu koji ruše svjetske rekorde koristi jednak mjenjač kao u serijski proizvedenom modelu FH nešto je na što smo vrlo ponosni”, kaže Claes Nilsson, predsjednik i izvršni direktor kompanije Volvo Trucks. Vrijeme novog brzinskog rekorda na 1000 m pri kretanju iz mjesta je 21,29 sekundi, ostvarena je prosječna brzina od 169 km/h. Iron Knight je također srušio i rekord na 500 m uz brzinu od 131,29 km/h i vrijeme od 13,71 sekundi. Rekordi su ostvareni na zatvorenoj stazi u sjevernoj Švedskoj. Vozač Boije Ovebrink ima više od 30 godina iskustva u natjecanju automobila i kamiona. Prethodno je srušio pet brzinskih rekorda, a 1994. godine bio je europski šampion u kamionskim utrkama. O ovom je kamionu rekao: „Iron Knight kompanije Volvo Trucks može se sažeti jednom riječju: savršenstvo. Prekrasan je i nenadmašan u pogledu snage kada pritisnete gas do daske. To je moj treći kamion koji ruši svjetske rekorde i ne mogu zamisliti boljeg nasljednika za kamione Wild Viking i Mean Green”. Video zapis s rušenja rekorda pogledajte ovdje: Iron Knight – kamion koji ruši rekorde – Sa snagiom od 2400 KS, okretnim momentom od 6000 Nm i težinom od 4,5 tone, Iron Knight ima omjer snaga/težina veći od 0,5 KS/kg. – Motor D13 postavljen je u sredini i značajno je modificiran, a ima četiri turbopunjača s intercoolerom. – U kamion je ugrađen I-Shift mjenjač s dvostrukom spojkom. Osim što je spojka ojačana (diskovi i pritisne ploče proizvedeni su od sinter materijala), mjenjač je isti kao na serijski proizvedenim kamionima Volvo FH. – Elektronika je svedena na minimum. – Softver je reprogramiran kako bi se omogućile visoke performanse. – Kabina je aerodinamički optimizirana i izrađena od stakloplastike. U bočnim oblogama nalaze se veliki otvori kojima se u motor doprema zrak za hlađenje. – Tijekom pokušaja obaranja rekorda Iron Knight je postigao najveću brzinu od 276 km/h.
