Chip tuning for Volvo FMX D13C 540 540hp (397kW) 2600Nm ECU

Volvo FMX (I) D13C 540 540hp (397kW) 2600Nm — premium diesel engine of the commercial segment of the Geely Holding (с 2010) group (Швеция, 1927). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 540 to 640 hp (+100 hp, +19%) and torque from 2600 to 3135 Nm (+535 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.
