Adaptive Gearing Basic specs for the Volvo XE11 package:

The Adaptive Gearing system is both a direct and overdrive driveline - On-highway application
depending on rear axle load, which the system senses in real-time. - Maximum GCW
When loaded, the transmission locks out the 12th gear and provides the • Diversified loads, empty backhauls; up to 80k lbs
performance and fuel efficiency benefits of direct drive. During unloaded or • 70k lbs max constant GCW
lightly loaded trips, the driveline operates in overdrive, providing enhanced - Volvo D11 engine
fuel efficiency. • 425 hp/1550 lb-ft
- Volvo I-Shift transmission
Downspeeding: The key to saving fuel • Automated 12-speed
“Downspeeding” is Volvo’s term for lowering engine rpm at a given vehicle • 0.78:1 overdrive ratio
speed to save fuel. The Volvo XE11 lightweight powertrain package is - 6x4, 6x2 or 4x2
designed to cruise comfortably in the engine’s sweet spot reducing engine - 2.64-2.80:1 axle ratio
friction and increasing fuel efficiency. - 22.5 low-profile tires at approx. ~515
rev/mile
D11 drivetrain recommendations
It is critical to specify the truck properly to achieve maximum fuel economy
and performance.

Ask your salesman to help you choose a rear axle ratio appropriate for
your expected cruising speed and gross combination weight.
