D7C is a further development of D7 generation of engines, however major difference between the latter is the increase of engine capacity from 6.7 litres to 7.3 litres due to an increase in stroke and cylinder diameter. Engine management EDC also received the upgrade to bring it inline with the rest of the "family" and be TEA 98 compliant. Introduction of D12C engine had created all new beast in its class thanks to its extra power and powerful engine brake which were only available previously in the FH class saw operators with an option of smaller cab but still capable long haul unit particularly with globetrotter cab and indeed FM12 did steal some sales from its bigger brother the FH12.^[source]Volvo FM · First generation (1998–2001) / Engines; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

In 2001 FM series underwent major revision in conjunction with FH series. Among changes resulted were 7- and 10-litre engines being dropped and replaced by an all-new 9-litre D9A engine and introduction of a new automated gear-change transmission I-Shift and new passive safety feature FUPS F ront U nderrun P rotection S ystem, designed to prevent smaller vehicles from being "under run" or wedged under front of the truck in an event of frontal collision.^[source]Volvo FM · Second generation (2001–2020); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage

The new D9A engine developed on the basis of D12 with single overhead camshaft and four valves per cylinder and electronic unit injectors followed with a new design feature for Volvo, timing gears at the flywheel side (rear) of the engine, design which will later become standard across entire Volvo truck engine range. D9A power output varies from 300–380 PS (221–279 kW) and torque of 1400-1700 Nm respectively. Introduction of I-Shift was the end for the Geartronic (AGS) and its shortcomings, however the I-Shift was designed to be what it was, whereas the Geartronic was a modification to an existing manual transmission. In 2003, the FM12 with 460 PS (338 kW) D12D was launched as a new version of the Powertronic automatic transmission.^[source]Volvo FM · Second generation (2001–2020) / Engine and transmission; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage
