New engines and rugged frames

The new G900B-Series generation of motor graders from Volvo Construction Equipment features new engines, rugged frames, sophisticated transmissions and a package of innovations. The range consists of the 34,520-pound G930B, the 35,843-pound G940B, the 37,827-pound G946B and the 38,709-pound G960B. All models feature new, larger displacement engines with increased power and torque than the models they replace. Meeting the low emission requirements of Tier 4i legislation, these new units feature cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) technology.

The increased and reshaped power and torque curves of the engines have been carefully matched to meet the needs of the transmission. The Volvo eight forward gear/four reverse gear HTE840 or (optional) 11 forward/six reverse gear HTE1160 transmissions feature ‘shuttle shift,’ a system that enables easy shifting between forward and reverse without the need to stop or use the inching pedal. The engines fitted to the G900B-Series feature three power curves with the 8X4 transmission and eight power curves with the 11X6 transmission to vary the power to match the level of traction available, and also optimize the hydraulics and drivetrain.
