This new Volvo is powerful and uncompromising in the forest!

Rig Riders Ltd of Tauranga have aptly named their new Volvo FH16 750 8x4R Globetrotter logging truck 'Bow Down No Chance' and according to the owners - to match its loud, rugged and uncompromising presence in the Central Plateau bush.

With stand-out logging gear and a Patchell 5-axle trailer refurbished by Mills-Tui, this truck is powered for the heavy logging loads with its 750hp D17 engine and the smooth and efficient I-Shift gearbox. Driver Ranjit is enjoying the comfort of the Globetrotter XL cab, rear air suspension, aero kit, fridge and microwave. Comforts that make a job on the road all the more easier.

Every gear change made perfect with I-Shift.

I-Shift is a Volvo innovation that helps operators to be more productive, more energy-efficient and enhances the driver experience.

It’s based on an unsynchronised manual transmission with an electronic control unit which manages the clutch and shifts. It adapts to road conditions and vehicle load, communicating with the engine, allowing it to adjust the revs and brakes for best performance.

⚙️ Smooth, perfectly timed gear changes for efficiency and comfort
⚙️ Works with electric and diesel trucks
⚙️ Seamless power delivery with Dual Clutch for confident shifting
⚙️ Crawler gears make heavy loads and tough starts easier
⚙️ Smart functions like Change Direction, Terrain Brake, and Active Grip Control for maximum control in any condition
