Volvo will launch new performance- and efficiency-boosting technologies later this year, revealing its modular Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) engines and a new eight-speed automatic.
First previewed at Frankfurt in 2011, the VEA project's major drawcard is the world-first i-ART technology, used in its upcoming diesel engines.
i-ART sees a pressure sensor fitted to each fuel injector, rather than the sole unit used by existing common-rail diesel systems, thus enabling more accurate metering of fuel delivery to each cylinder.
