Volvo Penta is introducing a new series of electronic controls with an integrated push-button panel for easy control of different functions. Ergonomic styling with a comfortable palm rest, indicator lamps and robust design are other features.

Volvo Penta introduced the function tow mode for their gasoline Aquamatic range last year and it became an instant hit. Now it is also available for the diesel Aquamatics.

Last year, Volvo Penta introduced its most powerful engine ever – the 900 hp D13 – an immediate success that is now being followed by an 800 hp version. The engine is in fact a direct successor to the legendary D12-800, only more powerful, more fuel-efficient and cleaner.

Together with the new series of controls, Volvo Penta is now introducing single-lever mode for all twin engine installations (IPS also triple and quadruple).

Volvo Penta IPS for offshore sportfishing is a brilliant example of the company’s ability to adapt to customer requirements. Developed together with leading sportfishers, IPS now offers three specific sportfishing functions, making it perfect for big game fishing.

Together with the new series of controls, Volvo Penta is now introducing cruise control for all engines with EVC.

The Swedish Coast Guard is to install Volvo Penta’s Inboard Performance System (IPS) in an entirely new type of vessel for sea rescue and border control.
