The design of the engine provides good driving characteristics, low fuel consumption and a high level of operability. The location of the timing mechanism at the rear of the engine helps to reduce vibration and to install a power take-off at the rear of the engine. The Volvo D13C460 engine has a low emission level, complying with the EC Euro 5 standard, thanks to exhaust gas treatment using Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology.
