Minimizing total cost of ownership

Volvo Penta engines are designed and developed for long-term performance. We are part of The Volvo Group – world leader in diesel engine technology – which means that we benefit from the entire Group’s overall work with developing innovative technology, sustainable and fuel efficient solutions that add to your business credibility and bottom line. When you invest in a Volvo Penta powered product as a customer, we can help you maximize uptime, lower total cost of ownership and improve cost control — giving you more time to focus on your core business.

Fuel – The critical expense

By constantly enhancing our engines’ fuel efficiency, we give Volvo Penta engine operators a competitive edge. Over a five-year period, fuel costs represent as much as 90–95% of your total cost for operating a prime power installation. When you look at the fuel efficiency of Volvo Penta engines and add their recognized high quality and efficiency, you have all the basics for a sustainable operation.

START/STOP TECHNOLOGY SAVES ON FUEL

Volvo Penta’s optional, easy-to-install Start/Stop technology reduces fuel consumption, noise and exhaust emissions by enabling the engine to start or stop when the correct conditions are fulfilled. When the application needs to resume its operation, the engine starts immediately. Start/Stop is designed to maintain maximum engine life and can reduce fuel consumption by up to 15%, depending on idling time and engine operating conditions.

Designed for Productivity

The success of our customers’ business is at the center of everything we do – from design and engineering, through installation to service, support and parts distribution. Our engines are designed to fit any need or requirement, limiting the need for costly adjustments, and we pride ourselves on being able to supply tailor-made solutions that benefit our partners’ business operations.

THE BENEFITS OF A COMMON PLATFORM

All Volvo Penta engines share a common platform. Operations requiring the use of several engines of different sizes can considerably lower their costs by using only Volvo Penta engines. The shared service and accessory parts simplifies parts availability and results in shorter lead times, promoting overall productivity and – in the long run – an enhanced return on investment.

EXTENDED COVERAGE

For protection beyond the international or national limited warranty, Volvo Penta offers Extended Coverage. With Extended Coverage the whole engine or just major components are covered for up to five years or 10,000 operating hours, allowing tailored coverage to your own requirements – for better predictability and added peace of mind.

REDUCE VENTILATION COSTS

Improving conditions underground requires advanced engine technology and optimized ventilation rates. But proper ventilation of an underground mine is energy-consuming — and expensive. At the industry’s forefront for low emissions, Volvo Penta engines can help operators decrease ventilation rates and improve overall air quality in the mine — leading to cleaner air and lowered costs.
