Chip tuning for Volvo FM12 D12C/D/E 420 420hp (309kW) 2000Nm ECU
Volvo FM12 (I) D12C/D/E 420 420hp (309kW) 2000Nm — premium diesel engine of the commercial segment of the Geely Holding (с 2010) group (Швеция, 1927). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 420 to 484 hp (+64 hp, +15%) and torque from 2000 to 2300 Nm (+300 Nm).
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 shares platforms and engines with Geely and Polestar. 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.
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. Within Geely Holding, ECUs are partly shared with Polestar and some Geely models. Top Volvo Polestar Engineered engines sit at the power ceiling of the Swedish premium segment.
