Estimated Stage 1 gains are calculated from stock values using an approximate 20% increase. Actual performance improvements may vary depending on vehicle condition, fuel quality, hardware configuration and operating environment.
Chip tuning for the Volvo Truck FMx (2nd) 13 500 12.8L involves recalibrating the engine’s electronic control unit (ECU), a Continental ACM unit with a PC564A80 processor, to improve performance and longevity. We work with engines producing 368 kW, with a particular focus on the demands of commercial transport – reducing fuel consumption and ensuring reliable operation in challenging conditions.
Modern diesel engines, such as the 13 500 12.8L, are controlled by complex software that defines numerous operating parameters. Reprogramming the ECU allows these parameters to be adapted to your specific needs and operating conditions. We analyze existing settings, identify limitations, and optimize engine performance to achieve smoother and more efficient fuel combustion.
During chip tuning, we focus not only on increasing power but also on maintaining engine reliability and durability. Correct calibration reduces stress on key components, positively impacting service life. Deactivation of AdBlue, DPF, and EGR systems is also possible, if required to ensure uninterrupted truck operation in specific conditions.
For the Volvo Truck FMx (2nd), we offer customized solutions that take into account the year of manufacture (2009) and the specific engine characteristics. After ECU reprogramming, you will notice improved engine responsiveness, more economical fuel consumption, and stable operation even under sustained load.
