Volvo Trucks has won a top European quality prize for its I-Shift Dual Clutch.
The Quality Innovation of the Year award – backed by several European quality institutes – was presented to Volvo on 19 January and it is the second year running that the Swedish manufacturer has won.
I-Shift Dual Clutch is an automated manual gearbox with dual clutches, so the truck does not lose speed or power during gear changes.
Originally developed for sports cars, Volvo was the first company to use this transmission technology in heavy vehicles.
