Emphasizes large commitment by Boat Builders with more than 130 models now in production.

There are a growing number of leisure boats in Thailand with Volvo Penta state-of-the-art power systems. The Volvo Penta dealer network is getting ready to service these boats.

The new TAD1650VE diesel engine is Volvo Penta’s latest and most powerful engine for off-road and stationary applications. The engine combines impressive power and torque with exhaust emissions that comply with the world’s most stringent regulations: EPA/CARB Tier 3 and EU Stage 3.

Volvo Penta’s new 250-350 kWe power generation engine is a completely new, high-tech design. It satisfies the toughest existing emissions requirements – EPA/CARB Tier 3. The Volvo Penta TAD1350 series is very reliable and durable, and is manufactured in one of the world’s most advanced and quality-assured plants.

At the Europort trade show, Volvo Penta is presenting a 5 to 16-litre range for inland waterways duty, covering both propulsion engines and complete marine gensets.

The D16 was introduced as a marine genset one and a half years ago and quickly became a success. Now it is also available with radiator cooling. The new model has been developed for emergency and in-harbour duties aboard merchant ships as well as offshore applications.

Rodman was one of the first boat builders in the world to adopt Volvo Penta’s IPS system. As early as in January, 2005, the company launched its 41-foot flybridge yacht with IPS. This pioneering spirit has paid off. Sales have grown considerably and today, the company has five models with IPS and has delivered more than 150 boats with the system to customers.

Volvo Penta in Turkey has received an order for 20 marine gensets with 16-liter engines and five emergency power units with 7-liter engines. The engines will be installed in new, more environmentally friendly ferry boats that will be placed in service in the Bosporus and the Sea of Marmara.

Volvo Penta has started an entirely new distribution system for spare parts in Russia. The system is strategically important on a growing market in which Volvo Penta’s engine sales are rising sharply.

Volvo Penta erweitert die Volvo Penta IPS Palette: Neue, größere Volvo Penta IPS Antriebe und weitere interessante Funktionen Das Volvo Penta IPS Konzept hat den Yachtbau revolutioniert und sich als Alternative zu herkömmlichen Wellenanlagen fest etabliert. Nur zwei Jahre nach der Einführung werden heute von führenden Herstellern weltweit bereits über 100 Yachtmodelle von 30 bis 75 Fuß mit Volvo Penta IPS angeboten. Immer mehr Yachtfreunde erkennen die Vorteile des IPS Konzepts, deshalb gibt es auf der ganzen Welt auch immer mehr Yachtprojekte mit Volvo Penta IPS. Durch diesen Erfolg inspiriert, hat sich Volvo Penta jetzt entschlossen, neue Volvo Penta IPS Modelle auf den Markt zu bringen, mit stärkeren Motoren und stärkeren Antrieben. Dazu kommen weitere Neuheiten, die Volvo Penta IPS betreffen: Volvo Penta IPS500G, der IPS Antrieb mit Benzinmotor, der elektronische Anker, die lediglich aus einem Joystick bestehende Anlegestation, der Sportfischermodus und die Schleichfahrtfunktion.
