Or the problems Volvo's have with the DEF/Ad-Blue system. -
Sorry, you are wrong this time, I-save uses 1l/100 km just like Dafs. Older engines yes, 2l/100 or above.
And I had more problems with adblue on dafs (nox sensors) than Volvos. -
I have a friend with a mixed fleet(Daf,Volvo,Renault and MAN).
Basicly all run around the same cost per mile.
Some use less diesel but use more DEF,some have higher diesel consumption but less DEF.
Biggest factor is the driver.
Those with lead in their foot cost the most per mile.
But if you are so happy with Volvo's....................keep buying them. -
We should mention that nox sensors were problem on earlier generation of all trucks, they come from same suppliers.
Other thing is that price of adblue in places like Poland cost about 0.25eur/L.daf105paccar Thanks this. -
They need a tax increase……..

Dafs like I said I replaced nox sensors few times, and it was the same story on XF105.
The greatest thing about I-save Volvos is they really limit driver factor. Doesn't really matter that much who is driving (as long as he uses CC), terrain, weight, they are really good on fuel on monthly, yearly average. -
Boo…….
Sweden’s first hydrogen-powered refuse truck has recently started work on the streets of the country’s second city, Gothenburg. The business of garbage collection has just become cleaner.
The truck, which will pick up recycled materials from city businesses, is better for city air and noise quality and driver comfort because it’s completely silent and only emits clean water, the sole by-product of hydrogen fuel cell technology. In fact, the propulsion, loading and compaction of the waste all take place with the electricity which is produced in the fuel cells. The heat generated is then used to heat the cab.
The innovative new vehicle is the result of 18 months of development by a consortium consisting of Scania, truck bodybuilder JOAB, fuel cell developer Powercell Sweden and the waste and recycling company Renova, which is owned by ten municipalities in western Sweden.
The initiative is supported financially by a grant from the Swedish Energy Agency. The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) is also engaged in the project working with data collection and analysis for comparison with other alternative drivelines and vehicle fuels.
