Volvo's new The Iron Knight truck breaks two world speed records

An Iron Knight unit specially conditioned for the occasion, with spare parts, accessories and special parts (such as cooling, double clutch or tires) has managed to pulverize two stratospheric records approved by the FIA: taking only 13.71 seconds to cover 500 meters starting from scratch and cover a thousand meters in the same conditions in 21.29 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 276 km/h. Undoubtedly the fastest truck in the world, equipped with 2,400 horsepower and 6,000 Nm of torque. The record-breaking truck was driven by the driver Boije Ovebrink, who was the European Truck Champion in 1994.

One of the secrets of the triumph is that The Iron Knight is a ton lighter and 600 hp more powerful than the previous heavyweight speed 'champion', the hybrid Mean Green also powered by Volvo. Another key is that the engine is not placed in the front of the vehicle but in a more central position, just behind the cabin. These changes and some modifications to the bodywork and chassis have made it possible to reduce aerodynamic drag to a minimum. 

And if we talk about champions in the field of truck maintenance, we have to talk about the "Iron Knight" of additives for diesel trucks: Auxol Maintenance. The product is recommended by all manufacturers for diesel truck maintenance treatments: cleaning of sludge and sediment from the tank and also from the combustion and injection system.
