In 2014 Volvo Penta will release its full line of Tier 4 Final-compliant industrial engines. But what exactly is Tier 4 Final, and what does it mean for customers?

World-leading OEMs have signed supply agreements for Volvo Penta Tier 4/Final off-road diesel engines, with deliveries starting next year. With the strength of the Volvo Group's overall service and product offering, Volvo Penta conquers more and more global customers in the off-road segment.

The majority of engine manufacturers only introduce stage IV on latest engine platforms making it problematic having to mix different litre displacements, base engines and configurations. Volvo Penta offers complete commonality across the range. All models are developed around the same base engine design and available in stage II to stage IV emission levels. This puts the Volvo Penta offer in a unique position.

A heavy-duty cooling package and a heavy-duty cabling harness concept are two novelties from Volvo Penta that will substantially improve the performance of Volvo Penta engines working in extremely harsh and dusty working environments. The cabling harness is already standard on all Volvo Penta industrial engines, while the cooling package will be launched by Volvo Penta as optional equipment in 2013.

Sandvik Construction has developed a new generation UH450E track-mounted tertiary crusher. The choice of engine power fell on a Volvo Penta TAD1651GE.

Volvo Penta is pleased to announce an agreement with Sullair to supply Tier 4 interim diesel engines to power their line of portable air compressors. The compressors are produced in Sullair’s factory in Michigan City, Indiana, USA and are already in use by customers across North America.

Environmental issues are becoming increasingly important in China and, at the 18th China International Boat Show, Volvo Penta is demonstrating the environmental benefit that can be achieved with innovative, high-tech products.

Standard engines from Volvo Penta deliver diesel power to the world’s toughest and most extreme round-the-world races - the Volvo Ocean Race.

When the doors to Bauma 2013 will open on 15 April, Volvo Penta is ready for an exciting follow-up of the new Tier 4 Final engine range and for displaying engine features like the Start/Stop function – the latest Volvo Penta innovation that will help operators to significantly reduce their fuel costs.

For all industrial off-road and genset applications, optimal uptime has become increasingly important. Avoiding unplanned, costly stops has become a prioritised area. Volvo Penta too has focused on uptime for a long time. Now, Volvo Penta takes another step towards making it even easier to manage and control engine – and machine – uptime. The new extended coverage programme, the IXC, is aimed at owners and users of installations with Volvo Penta engines.
