performance
The Volvo D13A520 is a 520 hp, 12.8 litre in-line 6-cylinder engine with an overhead camshaft, 4 valves per
cylinder and unit injectors. The engine meets Euro 3 exhaust emission regulations. It is designed to ensure
excellent driving characteristics, high reliability and excellent fuel efficiency. The timing gear is located at the rear
of the engine, which reduces vibration. With a cylinder block and cylinder head made of cast iron, a strong base is
created for a dependable engine.
The Volvo D13A520 engine offers a steady flow of power uphill and massive braking power downhill and evens
out the gradients. The engine’s power is available virtually from idling speed, which ensures excellent starting
traction. This power stays with you throughout and maximum torque is available high upto the rev range (2500 Nm
at 1050-1450 rpm). A wide economic speed range of 1050-1600 rpm helps to get the maximum fuel efficiency.
The Volvo torque curve.
You’ll feel it in the pedal.
Excellent torque at low revs. An extremely
wide max torque range. Peak torque meets
peak power. Volvo’s leadership in diesel
engine technology is clearly visible once
you start comparing engine curves. You’ll
experience fast acceleration, excellent
pulling power, comfortable low-speed
handling and not least, a fuel efficient
and pleasurable ride at cruising speed.

Fuel efficiency built-in.
The optimised combustion chamber
geometry. The fast and precise EMS
controlled injection. The high gas-fill ratio.
We could go on listing what makes Volvo
engines hard to beat when it comes to fuel
economy. Your bottom-line will reap the
benefits. So will the environment.
VEB+
Volvo’s famous engine brakes.
Minimise wear on the brake pedal.
Volvo’s patented engine brakes produces
impressive braking forces. Integrated with
the cruise control, it makes a descent into
the gravel pit or mine comfortable without
compromising on safety or fuel economy.
Accurate engine
management through
Volvo EMS.
Volvo EMS provides precise and
efficient engine control. The
engine control module takes
in data from several sensors,
compares current readings with
stored parameters and adjusts
fuel quantity and injection timing
accordingly.
Gear driven camshaft.
Gear driven camshaft ensures
precise control over the unit
injectors and valve timing. The
unit injectors are positioned
vertically and centrally which
provides extremely fast,
well controlled injection and
symmetrical distribution of the
fuel in the combustion chamber.
Low exhaust and noise
emission.
The D13A520 more than meets
the demand for high performance
in conjunction with low exhaust
(Euro 3) and noise emissions. The
crankshaft and camshaft have
hydraulic vibration dampers which
minimise noise and vibration – a
particularly low noise is evident at
idling speed.
Dependable construction
and design.
A strong engine foundation is formed
by a cylinder block and a cylinder
head made of cast iron. The lower
part of the cylinder block has a
steel reinforced ladder frame – this
minimises vibration and increases
rigidity. The timing gear is located at
the rear of the engine which reduces
the number of components.

matched gearbox
Transmission for efficiency
Fully synchronised manual gearbox
You’ll have to look hard for a gearbox that is faster and easier to use. Servo synchromesh and cable linkage
mean a vibration-free gear lever and slick gear changes. The wide ratio span gives high starting traction while
simultaneously ensuring that there are ample resources for high average speeds.
The new Volvo FMX 26.1 Cu.m Dump Truck is fitted with fully synchronised 14-speed splitter-range gearbox
VT2514B, matched perfectly to the fitted D13A520 engine’s characteristics. Close and well balanced ratios make
it easy for the truck to climb steep gradients and facilitate smooth acceleration. Extreme low crawler ratio 16.41:1
ensures good startability when hauling heavy loads in difficult driving conditions.
8
Cable link gear-changing.
The VT2514B is equipped with a newly
developed shift by cable which results in
short, distinct gear lever movements. The
gear lever is completely free of vibration,
which contributes to comfortable operation
and a lower noise level in the cab. The
gearbox also has patented synchronisation
which, with the assistance of a mechanical
servo function, provides extra power at the
moment of synchronisation. The torque
that arises when the synchronisation starts
to slow down the rotation is converted to
an axial force which gives the driver servo
assistance. This design solution contributes
to low gear-shifting forces and increased
driver productivity.
Robustly dimensioned
components.
New high performance
transmission oil cooler.
All shafts, bearings and gears are robustly
dimensioned for high reliability and long
service life. All the gears are made of
special steel that has been case-hardened
to give high strength. The gears in the
basic unit are bevel gears, which mean that
several gears can be in mesh with each
other at the same time. This results in quiet
operation and high reliability.
The gears on the input, main and
reversing shafts are journalled with double
needle bearings, with bearing holders in
steel, which give low friction. All the shafts
and planetary gears in the range-change
gearbox are journalled in roller bearings,
with the exception of the low-loaded output
shaft which is journalled in a ball bearing.
New oil cooler is based on air cooling of
the agent that cools the transmission fluid.
The system consists of a separate radiator
at the front of the vehicle that is
series-connected to the engine’s cooling
system, and a heat exchanger attached to
the gearbox. The coolant is cooled in the
front-mounted radiator before it reaches
the heat exchanger where the transmission
oil is circulating. In this way, oil temperature
is lowered very effectively, giving the
gearbox considerable operating reliability.

more load carrying capacity
Sturdy axles and chassis
for heavy load
Volvo FMX 26.1 Cu.m Dump Truck can carry heavy loads, thanks to its high tonnage front twin axles, rear
tandem drive axle and a tag non-driven axle. Rear bogie and front suspension is reinforced to withstand
high loads under tough conditions. Tag axle is equipped with hydraulic suspension for efficient load
distribution over three rear axles, ensuring high stability and optimised traction.
10
Steerable front axles.
Rear tandem drive axle.
Non-driven steerable tag axle.
Twin front axles’ heavy duty I-beam design
provides both high load carrying capacity
and good approach angle, important for
mining application.
Tandem drive offers excellent traction
and superb pulling power. The result is
excellent get-you-there ability and low tyre
wear. The reduction at hubs takes places
at 4 planetary gears, giving more uniform
and steady load distribution, resulting in
higher truck vehicle availability.
Electronic-hydraulic steering mechanism
improves drivability with increased
manoeuvrability and reduces tyre wear.
The steering angle is based on wheelbase
and vehicle speed, while a potentiometer
reads the position of the front axle;
the ECU calculates the corresponding
theoretical steering angle of the tag axle.
Solenoid activated hydraulic valves steer
the tag axle to its calculated position.
Strong chassis.
Cross members.
Mining tyres.
The chassis frame is made from highstrength steel. Its front section is bent
outwards to accommodate the cab
and engine, and has the same material
thickness (8 mm) in the web and the
flanges. Frame is reinforced with 5 mm
thick inner liner, made from high strength
steel, which runs from the front of frame
to end of frame.
Front closing member with central heavy
duty towing device, certified for 25 tonnes
and passed internal Volvo tests with
forces upto 32 tonnes (lateral pull / push).
Reinforced cab, engine, transmission
and chassis cross member provide extra
ruggedness to the chassis suitable for
tough off-road applications.
12-24 cross-ply (20 ply rating) mining
tyres ensure better footprint of the vehicle
in rough mining roads, while carrying
heavy loads. It also helps in improving
the ground clearance of the vehicle, to
ensure unhindered operation in off-road
applications.
11
Large capacity dump body
Delivering high productivity
The new Volvo FMX 520 26.1 Cu.m Dump Truck offers a large dump body of 26.1 Cu.m struck volume
capacity. The body is made of thick wear resistant steel on floor, sides and head board, suitable for mineral
overburden application. 10 degree scow is provided at the end for better material flowability during
tipping. The high capacity body enables the customer to get higher productivity without compromising on
operational efficiency.
Rigid canopy with truss beam
structure allowing the cab to
tilt even without tipping – very
handy during maintenance
works under the cab.

Heavy duty 192 mm dia
Nitrided telescopic front
end tipping cylinder.
Flexible and strong sub-frame
to arrest torsional loads
compatible with chassis frame.
Double hyfix clamps to arrest
vibrations.
Heavy duty stabiliser bar and
rear hinge making the body
robust.
7 nos. solid rock breakers, which
run across the floor and halfway
through the headboard.
13
built-in robustness
Rugged design for high
durability
The Volvo FMX has been designed as a highly robust and durable piece of equipment. The front towing member, is one
piece of cast iron and is strong enough to hold up to 32 tonnes with its tow hook. The corner bumpers are made out
of three-millimetre thick high grade steel. With its new box-like construction, the front becomes incredibly sturdy. So it
absorbs the energy of a low speed impact like a giant spring.
There is nothing hanging down underneath the truck except wheels. The new headlights are positioned higher
up where they are less likely to get damaged and best kept. Body panels are split rather than overlapping so that
any cosmetic damage is isolated.
And if you do manage to do any serious damage to the front, you’ll probably be able to replace the part yourself as
the screws are all visible and easily accessible. We’re pretty sure this is going to be popular with customers as it
offers savings and increases uptime.
14
The sturdy bumper.
Push and pull 32 tonnes.
It’s made of 3 mm thick high grade steel, it’s
in three parts and the attachments are visible
and easy to undo. The corner bumpers
now have the same exposed fasteners for
easier replacement. The steel bumper is also
covered by a thick polypropylene coat that
largely regains its form if damaged.
The towing member is one piece of cast iron.
It’s strong enough to hold upto
32 tonnes with its tow hook. And the fact
that the towing member is exposed means,
you can use it like a ladder to climb up
the front. Wherever you step you’ll find it’s
solid, nothing is going to break or crack. A
handle opens so that the towing pin can be
accessed when needed.
Strong headlamp with
protective mesh.
Sturdy mirror and brackets.
Improved engine mounting.
Cab mounting.
Robust rear-view mirrors with sturdy
mountings withstand rough treatment, thus
also giving a steady image in the mirror.
Four point engine mounting optimised to
reduce road induced vibrations and improve
road handling. Rear engine mounting with
more rubber increases insulation, improves
ride comfort and durability. Front engine
anchorages made of aluminium instead of
cast iron in order to save weight.
Four point coil suspension with shock
absorbers with vertical stroke of + / - 50 mm
to reduce the risk of bottoming out even in
the worst road conditions.
The attachments of the lights are sturdy
enough to safeguard the lamp bulbs from
vibrations and keep the lamp bodies in
place, even if you happen to bump into
something. A new headlight protection mesh
protects the headlight from stone chipping,
while keeping the illumination unaffected.
Unique front suspension
geometry.
New front parabolic leaf suspension’s
unique design ensures that the leaves lie
flush with each other only in the middle
and at the ends. This ensures that friction
between leaves is very low, thus giving a
smooth and comfortable ride without any
bumps.
The spring leaves are made from special
steel and are dimensioned so that the
load is evenly distributed over each crosssection of the leaf. Front shock absorbers
contribute to the less vibration of chassis.
Front stabiliser ensures better torsional
rigidity during turning of the vehicle at
speed.
Reinforced bogie structure.
Inverted bogie suspension design provides
equal load distribution between both rearforward and rear-rearward axles. Rubberjournalled V-stays and reaction rods provide
better distribution of torsional load to the
chassis.
Rubber springs between the spring leaves
and axle, and two shock absorbers for the
front driven axle contribute to less vibration
of chassis and good comfort under all axle
loads. Rear stabiliser provides torsional
rigidity to the chassis under rough terrain.
Rear bogie suspension is reinforced to
better withstand high loads under tough
conditions.
Electronically controlled
hydraulic-pneumatic suspension.
The system is designed for mining
operation and combines efficient load
distribution over three rear axles, high
stability and optimised traction. Hydraulicpneumatic suspension optimises
compensation between the left hand and
the right hand side of the chassis. The
suspension cylinders can be locked by
means of a switch controlled by the driver,
to achieve maximum tipping-stability. To
improve traction on slippery soil, a traction
improvement function is available to
transfer load from the tag axle to the leafsuspended driven rear axles, for a limited
time.
15
driver comfort
Spacious room for
stress free work
