Volvo sells 100,000th I-Shift-equipped truck in North America

Apr 8, 2016

Volvo Trucks North America announced it its 100,000th I-Shift automated manual transmission-equipped truck, a Volvo VNL 670, has been deployed.

Volvo introduced the I-Shift in North America in 2007, becoming the first truck manufacturer to bring an integrated AMT to the market. The I-Shift became standard on all Volvo-powered models in 2013.

“When we first introduced the I-Shift, many said that it would not be successful in this market,” says Göran Nyberg, president, Volvo Trucks North America. “Yet thanks to the significant efficiency, performance and productivity benefits the I-Shift delivers to our customers, we’re celebrating the delivery of the 100,000th I-Shift-equipped truck.”

Unlike the House version, the Senate's infrastructure bill does not include earmarked funding for parking, but it also leaves out the liability insurance hike. The Senate bill, if passed, faces an uphill battle in the lower chamber.
