One Volvo FH truck. A pro paraglider. A dramatic Croatian pass. All three come together for one of Volvo Trucks’ most bonkers stunts yet - The Flying Passenger - demonstrating the smoothness of the I-Shift Dual Clutch gearbox.

Throughout the stunt - which involved the paraglider daringly passing under a bridge - utterly smooth and consistent driving was needed, something which would be hugely difficult without I-Shift’s seamless shifts.

In the real world away from death-defying stunts, I-Shift offers a marked decrease in fuel consumption, while eradicating torque drop even when driving in the toughest of conditions.
