Options
Combine your engine with a state-of-the-art control system and choose from Volvo Penta's range of smart features and equipment. The type-approved Volvo Penta Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) provides full monitoring, protection and diagnostics for both engine and transmission, whereas the Marine Commercial Control (MCC) provides monitoring and functions in compliance with all international standards.
The unique marine torque of the Volvo Penta diesel inboards stands out among the competition by offering increased load-carrying capability, rapid acceleration and the ability to maintain a high cruising speed, regardless of load or environment.
Their fuel efficiency is one of the main benefits you will experience because Volvo Penta engines are based on the Volvo Group’s engine platform. This is vitally important for your daily fuel expenses and long-term cost of ownership.
All Volvo Penta engines are designed to withstand high exhaust back pressure, which makes them perfect for applications that require additional, third-part exhaust after-treatment systems.
The Inboard Shaft Diesel engine range is appreciated by operators, yards and designers – all over the world. The compact engine package, the easy installation and the possibilities for a wide range of applications make them the yard’s best choice, whereas the full application and naval architectural support from Volvo Penta engineers combined with the range’s versatility make them ideal for designers.
Monitoring and control systems can be Volvo Penta’s proprietary, easily integrated systems (EVC or MCC) or the system of your own choice. Whatever your choice, this versatility enables integration with any ship automation system and any user interface. The benefits are an easier installation process for the yard, whereas customers will appreciate the ability to customise the control system – a feature previously unavailable.
The excellent load-carrying capability of Volvo Penta engines makes them a perfect match for fixed-pitch propeller applications. A range of transmissions is available for different speeds and duty profiles.
Volvo Penta engines are a perfect match for any type of waterjet, in terms of power/rpm range and engine response time.
With our high-performance engines, controllable pitch can easily be optimised for different conditions such as transit mode and cruise. Volvo Penta solutions are easily integrated with different transmissions and control systems.
Thanks to their unique marine torque, Volvo Penta engines are an ideal power source for demanding surface drive applications.
Using high-speed engines as prime movers is the most cost-efficient answer to a broad range of marine power needs. Compared with an installation based on fewer and larger engines, an installation of multiple Volvo Penta engines gives several benefits such as increased load-sharing capacity and better redundancy. As the marine industry moves toward flexible and fuel-efficient drive systems, multiple installations, diesel-electric or hybrid propulsion systems enable higher efficiency and reduced fuel consumption.
