The latest 1006 units are fitted with Volvo’s state-of-the-art TWD 1683VE diesel engines, which meet the European Union (EU) Stage V regulations. The engine offers a power output of 585kW (796hp) and a torque rated at a maximum of 3,650Nm, delivering more power and torque in the speed range used during chipping. Especially favorable for chipping is the high, straight torque curve down to lower engine speeds where, at 1,000 rpm, the torque is at just over 3,500Nm. These precise power and torque curves are also extremely helpful when it comes to attaining the lowest possible fuel consumption during chipping.
