Volvo Penta is now launching an Internet sales channel through www.volvopentashop.com. This web shop offers new opportunities for end customers to purchase spare parts and accessories, quickly, easily and securely.

The shipyard Baltic Workboats has signed a contract of designing and building of a 16 meter fast pilot boat equipped with twin IPS1050 units.

With the IPS system, Volvo Penta has revolutionised the market for traditional inboard installations. Five years after its launch, there are already more than 10,000 IPS units on the market. The IPS program is now being expanded still further. With new and larger drive units coupled to the 13 liter engine, Volvo Penta will launch a further two power classes, IPS1050 and IPS1200, this year.

With Volvo Penta’s IPS system, the customer has access to several smart accessories that makes boating simpler and more environmentally friendly.

Le nouveau moteur sterndrive super diesel Volvo Penta D3 est arrivé, alliant la compacité et la technologie d’un moteur de pointe. Disponible en quatre niveaux de puissance compris entre 140 et 220 ch, le nouveau D3 est plus rapide, plus puissant, plus propre et plus silencieux que son prédécesseur. En outre, il est maintenant disponible avec un joystick.

Le nouveau Volvo Penta D3 intègre la technologie moteur la plus avancée actuellement disponible sur le marché. Ce moteur diesel ultra-moderne existe désormais en deux versions de 110 et 150 ch, offrant toutes deux un fonctionnement plus propre, plus silencieux et plus confortable pour les propriétaires de voiliers.

La nouvelle génération de moteurs inboard D3 Volvo Penta ne manque pas de souplesse. Elle compte en effet pas moins de cinq versions développant de 110 à 220 ch, ses deux plus petits modèles étant des moteurs à bas régime destinés aux bateaux non planants. La gamme intègre des nouveautés comme le levier de vitesses et la commande de gaz électroniques, ainsi qu'une réduction des émissions, du bruit et des vibrations.

Watching whales is a unique natural experience in sensitive marine environments. When a new whale-watching boat was recently launched in New Zealand, it was preceded by meticulous tests to identify the most environmentally sound engine alternative.

When the Formula 1 race in Abu Dhabi took place this weekend, 44 Volvo Penta diesel engines provided the electrical power for the lighting around the track.

As a result of the best environmental features, Volvo Penta has been appointed official supplier of diesel engines to 22 passenger ferries being built for the World Expo in Shanghai, China next year.
