Chip tuning for Volvo FM12 D12C 340 340hp (250kW) 1700Nm ECU
Volvo FM12 (I) D12C 340 340hp (250kW) 1700Nm — premium diesel engine of the commercial segment of the Geely Holding (с 2010) group (Швеция, 1927). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 340 to 390 hp (+50 hp, +15%) and torque from 1700 to 1955 Nm (+255 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. Volvo uses its own VEA (Volvo Engine Architecture) diesels. The factory calibration on Volvo diesels is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1.
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. High-output Volvo models are premium crossovers with solid headroom for Stage 1.
