I-shift – simple, dependable and very fuel efficient

I-Shift maximizes performance and efficiency by monitoring and responding to vehicle mass, road inclination, speed and acceleration. It reduces fuel consumption by up to 5% compared to a manual gearbox. And up to 7% when combined with I-Roll momentum technology. It’s also really easy to use.

I-See – watch your fuel bills drop

As you drive, I-See uses information about the road gradient to manage speed and gear changes in the most fuel efficient way. By taking advantage of the truck’s kinetic energy, the system can reduce your fuel consumption by up to 5%.

Align your wheels. Inflate your savings

Using the right tyres, at the correct pressure and on correctly aligned wheels and axles, can reduce fuel consumption by up to 14%. Our studies across Europe show that two out of three trucks have incorrectly aligned axles and wheels. So there’s a lot to be gained for very little effort.
