..."Ford designed a six-speed automatic transmission to handle the torque and power of its turbocharged 6.7 liter V8 diesel engine. Engineers developed the gearbox to be lighter, but with more capability than competitive transmissions. Features include a single piece housing, early-lockup closed-piston torque converter, range-select and manual modes, and mobile and stationary power takeoff functions. PickupTruck.com breaks down the top seven features of this heavy-duty transmission."...

..."The turbine housing is integrated into the manifold, an efficient design with which Volvo already had experience. But the new manifold and turbine housing are made of sheet steel instead of a casting.
A sheet steel manifold is nothing new but previously has only been used in combination with cast turbine housing. The integrated turbo package made entirely of sheet steel is an innovation patented by Volvo.
The technology makes it possible to shape the exhaust ducts for optimal gas flow and generate the maximum "tuned" pulse effect for the greatest turbine efficiency. The pulse dynamics permit generating a high power output across a wider range of engine revs, minimizing turbo lag for good acceleration at both low and high speeds."...
