SUPPLYLINES 37 AGGREGATES MANAGER / April 2017 The Volvo I-Shift with Crawler Gears is an extension of Volvo's I-Shift automat- ed manual transmission. This I-Shift with Crawler Gears is said to be weight- conscious, cost efficient, capable, and simple to operate in the field. The truck comes in two configurations. The Volvo 13-speed I-Shift with Crawler Gears brings fuel efficiency to vocational applications without surrendering startability. Through the installation of a faster rear axle ratio, coupled to the 13-speed I- Shift with Crawler Gears, the truck will have lower rpms at cruise speed. The typical reduction at highway speed is 300 rpm, resulting in a fuel efficiency improvement of more than 3 percent. The Volvo 14-speed overdrive I-Shift with Crawler Gears allows extremely low-speed maneuvers with great startability performance. It's said to be ideal for heavy-haul, mixer, and extremely slow speed applications.
