Volvo FH13 (I) D13B 500 500hp (368kW) 2400Nm — premium diesel engine of the commercial segment of the Geely Holding (с 2010) group (Швеция, 1927). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 500 to 595 hp (+95 hp, +19%) and torque from 2400 to 2868 Nm (+468 Nm).
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 range comprises premium saloons, estates and crossovers (SPA and CMA platforms). Volvo uses its own VEA (Volvo Engine Architecture) diesels. 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.
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. The Volvo community in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe has a large pool of ready-made Stage files. Top Volvo Polestar Engineered engines sit at the power ceiling of the Swedish premium segment.
