Volvo Penta is providing the engines, drives and Dynamic Positioning Systems for a new class of support vessels for America’s Cup.

This summer the MTS Duandra was launched in Benelux as the world’s first semi-hybrid inland waterway tanker built by Shipyard Trico B.V. This ship uses Volvo Penta diesel engines for both propulsion and generator set that helps to reduce emissions significantly.

When the Italian leading boat magazine Vela e Motore appointed the prize Barca dell’anno (Boat of the Year) for 2012 – 11th edition, it was Volvo Penta power in four of five categories.

Volvo Penta’s recently launched new V8-380 sterndrive engine has been awarded a prestigious IBEX Innovation Award.

Più leggero, più pulito, più veloce, più resistente e con un rapporto peso/effetto superiore. Quest'anno lanciamo la nuova generazione di V8 di Volvo Penta, un motore marino a benzina all'avanguardia che dispone di una nuova tecnologia e prestazioni, che soddisfa con ampi margini i nuovi requisiti EPA Tier 3.

Ron Huibers has been appointed new president of Volvo Penta Americas. He succeeds Clint Moore who earlier announced he has decided to retire.

Car drivers start their engines, electrical systems and instruments with the single push of a button. In the boating world it’s not quite that simple – yet. Volvo Penta has started development work for integrated, modularized and more user-friendly helm stations for the boats of tomorrow.

I nuovi limiti agli standard sulle emissioni stabiliscono requisiti più severi per i produttori di motori marini. Adesso, la serie d'avanguardia D4/D6 di Volvo Penta è conforme ai Tier 3, i più severi requisiti a livello mondiale per i motori diesel destinati all'utilizzo marino. L'aggiornamento ha determinato una gamma di motori a minore impatto ambientale, senza nessuna conseguenza sull'efficienza tradizionale di Volvo Penta.

The first in a series of five very advanced Coast Guard vessels has reached its final port destination in Falkenberg at the West coast of Sweden.

Volvo Penta is to supply engines for a number of airport fire-fighting vehicles from the company Rosenbauer. This entails a strengthening of the Volvo Group’s cooperation with Rosenbauer, which already builds conventional fire trucks using chassis from Volvo Trucks.
