Gas-powered Volvo FH and FM arrive in Chile

Revista del Camionero covered the Chilean launch of Volvo FH and FM Gas Powered trucks, available in tractor and rigid configurations. Their 13-liter engine uses LNG or bio-LNG in a diesel-cycle design, retaining up to 500 horsepower and high torque while reducing CO₂ emissions. Depending on conditions, range can reach roughly 950 kilometers per fill.

I-Shift, I-See, driver comfort and Volvo Connect are part of the package. This is a multi-energy strategy: gas power complements diesel and electric trucks for fleets seeking efficiency and a smaller footprint without relying on electrification alone. I invited readers to consider which Chilean routes and applications would benefit most. The full media article is linked from the original post.
