Optishift

The document discusses new features of the Volvo G-series wheel loaders, including an optimized OptiShift transmission with lock-up capability and Volvo's patented Reverse By Braking system. The OptiShift features a torque converter with a lock-up clutch that engages during high load conditions for improved productivity and reduced fuel consumption. Reverse By Braking uses the service brakes instead of the torque converter for reversing, improving operator comfort and lowering operating costs. These new features provide benefits like faster cycles, stronger uphill climbing, and increased fuel efficiency compared to competitor loaders.
