Making Of Volvo Trucks The Flying Passenger – Video

 

Adding to its series of viral promotional videos, Volvo Trucks is back with yet another Live Test. During the “breath-taking” ride, a Volvo FH tows a paraglider up a steep mountain road and under the narrow opening of an overhanging bridge.

 

 

The tight space calls for high precision driving at a constant cruising speed without any room for error, according to Volvo. The test was set up to demonstrate Volvo Trucks’ unique powertrain, fitted with I-Shift Dual Clutch, enabling excellent performance whilst at the same time considerably lowering fuel consumption.

“Driving on high gears and securing seamless gear shifting is an important factor for fuel efficiency. The I-Shift Dual Clutch enables smooth driving whilst staying in high gears and low revs,” says Staffan Wendeberg, Product Manager FH and Long Haul at Volvo Trucks.
