Volvo D11

The light option, around 400 pounds under the D13 and aimed squarely at regional work where payload is the constraint and the hills are not.

rough, and shop rates move it

In the exhaust

DPF and SCR

The first greenhouse gas phase targets the whole vehicle rather than the engine, so this era is as much about aerodynamics, tyres and axle ratios as combustion. Downspeeding becomes standard: tall gears, low cruise revs.

Known issues

The same EGR and aftertreatment family as the D13, worked slightly harder for the same load.

Verdict

Genuinely worth considering for regional and bulk work. Under-specified for over-the-road at 80,000 pounds.
