A well-thought staging
It takes place in Italy, at the San Remo casino. Hidden cameras film the casino's valet for his first day at work. After the arrival of several sports cars, a Volvo FH parks in front of the valet. He is surprised when the truck driver hands him the keys.
Volvo Trucks' goal is to show the public that you drive their truck like a sports car thanks to the new I-Shift transmission.

This transmission offers an incredible driving suppleness. « The I-Shift double-clutch transmission is like two gearboxes working in parallel. When a gear is active, the next one is selected by the other gearbox. » explains Astrid Drewsen, Product Manager Driveline at Volvo Trucks.
The I-Shift double-clutch is available since September 2014 on the Volvo FH equipped with a D13 Euro 6 engine with power ratings of 460, 500 and 540 hp.
