Volvo FM13 (I) D13C 460 460hp (338kW) 2300Nm — premium diesel engine of the commercial segment of the Geely Holding (с 2010) group (Швеция, 1927). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 460 to 542 hp (+82 hp, +18%) and torque from 2300 to 2680 Nm (+380 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). The factory calibration on Volvo diesels is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1. DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on Euro-6 Volvo diesels. Volvo uses its own VEA (Volvo Engine Architecture) diesels.

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.
