Chip tuning for Volvo FH13 D13A/B/C 400 400hp (294kW) 2000Nm ECU
Volvo FH13 (I) D13A/B/C 400 400hp (294kW) 2000Nm — premium diesel engine of the commercial segment of the Geely Holding (с 2010) group (Швеция, 1927). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 400 to 460 hp (+60 hp, +15%) and torque from 2000 to 2300 Nm (+300 Nm).
Volvo has been owned by China's Geely Holding since 2010. Volvo is historically known for its engineering-led approach to safety and the environment. Polestar is Volvo's performance division, and a standalone brand since 2017. The Volvo D5 (legacy V6) was an iconic premium-segment engine of the 2000s. The factory calibration on Volvo diesels is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1. DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on Euro-6 Volvo diesels.
The Volvo community in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe has a large pool of ready-made Stage files. Within Geely Holding, ECUs are partly shared with Polestar and some Geely models. On pre-2017 Volvos, Stage 1 goes in over OBD without Bench. Top Volvo Polestar Engineered engines sit at the power ceiling of the Swedish premium segment.
