NEW VOLVO D13 VGT utilizes 24V architecture

Volvo Trucks North America launches the all-new VNR with standard D13 VGT engine and announces an upcoming CARB- 24 Omnibus compliant engine variant.

When Volvo Trucks revealed its all-new VNR regional haul truck in March 2025, it also marked the launch of something new under the hood: the Volvo D13 VGT (variable geometry turbo) engine. The new D13 VGT engine will be standard in the VNR and optional for the VNL day cab.

The D13 VGT engine builds on improvements launched with the D13 Turbo Compound engine, which is standard on the new VNL (www.sae.org/news/2024/02/volvo-vnl-launch) that commenced commercial production at the New River Valley assembly plant in Dublin, Virginia, in October 2024.
