Volvo Electronic Injection System – “Electrically Controlled” Technology

The TADT20-G engine utilizes Volvo’s sophisticated electronic fuel injection system, referred to as “electrically controlled” injection . This provides precise control over fuel delivery for optimal combustion. Benefits include:

• Lower fuel consumption compared to mechanical injection systems

• Reduced emissions – meets stringent environmental standards

• Better load acceptance – recovers quickly from transient loads

• Smoother operation across all power ranges

• Enhanced cold starting reliability with intake air pre-heating

• High reliability – proven Volvo engineering with long service intervals
