1000 HORSEPOWER. FOR 1000 REASONS.
Our most powerful engine yet
Where dreams are fulfilled, adventures are experienced and paradise is found. Our most powerful engine yet, Volvo Penta D13-IPS1350, unlocks all sorts of possibilities. When perfectly matched with the IPS pod, it increases your boat’s cruising range by up to 40% compared to inboard shafts – great news for yacht owners, skippers, boat designers and builders. And that’s just one of a thousand reasons to install a twin, triple or quadruple installation on your yacht.
Twin, triple or quad. up to 5400 hp.
The new Volvo Penta D13 is our most powerful engine yet. Packing 1000hp, it has a unique power-to-weight ratio. Compact size, high performance and versatility make the D13 a natural choice for yachts 60-120 feet.
The reasons
There are 1000 reasons why you should choose the Volvo Penta D13 engine. Whether you’re an owner, a boat designer or a builder/dealer, there are more than enough reasons to justify your choice.
For Owners(4)
40% longer cruising range
With the D13 in a twin IPS installation, you increase your yachts cruising range by up to 40%, compared to a yacht with inboard shaft propulsion.
Cannes to Palma non-stop
Another day. Another adventure. Cruise from the French Riviera to the Balearic Islands without refueling. Or from Miami all the way to Nassau and back. Fuel stops become a distant memory.
Quiet cruising comfort
Low vibrations mean low noise. Volvo Penta IPS reduces perceived noise levels by 50%. Noise levels and vibrations are reduced using clever rubber suspension and seals that absorb thrust and propulsion forces.
Low on fuel, low on emissions
Low fuel consumption means a decrease of emissions into the atmosphere. Emissions are led away with the prop wash without disturbing passengers on the rear/aft deck. The new D13 complies with the EPA Tier 3 & RCD Stage II emission standards.
World-class support around the clock
Wherever you go and no matter what time it is, our Yacht Series Support is there to back you up. In fact, there is only one number to call to secure priority service for your Volvo Penta D13.
For Designers(3)
Room for anything
Compact package means smaller engine room and more space onboard. Together, the engine and pod is designed to optimize your yachts internal architecture.
Freedom for the designer
The high power-to-weight ratio of the propulsion package opens up for new cabin layout possibilities. Space for all the watersport gear. An extra sleeping cabin. A larger lounge. A workout area. A bar. The list goes on and on …
New, but familiar
If you know the current D13-900, you know the new 1000hp engine. The same compact design, the same principles apply. A smaller engine propels a bigger boat.
Built-in comfort
Low noise and less vibration allows for a smarter use of space in sensitive areas – such as comfortable crew cabins – next to the engine room.
Compact, robust and lightweight package
Together, the engine and pod is designed to optimize your yachts internal architecture. This frees up space onboard that ordinarily would have been used for a larger installation. An immensely strong, cast-iron cylinder head and block forms a compact, robust and highly efficient package that is easy to install.
For Dealers & Boatbuilders(5)
Wide scope of business
Type approval for yachts >24m. This allows for installations in larger yachts with type approval requirements.
Any yacht, any type, any size
The Volvo Penta D13 is a natural choice for demanding builders of yachts in the 60-120 feet span. In Twin, Triple or Quad IPS installations the power outputs are well beyond the rated figures. Check out the new math:
2 x 1000 = 2700hp
3 x 1000 = 4000hp
4 x 1000 = 5400hp
Great versatility
The high efficiency of IPS lets you use a smaller engine and still get the same top speed. A twin installation does the job of a triple. A compact 13-liter engine does the job of a much larger lnboard engine.
Easy installation
The engine design and compact size (same footprint as the D13-900) makes for easy installation. It is a lightweight package that is easier to handle than a larger installation.
Built to last
The engine is specially designed for a long operational life. Volvo Penta engineers have made several engine updates to ensure increased durability, reliability and high performance – including new oil cooler, new oil filter, larger pinion bearing, cast iron pump cover, and toner wheel functionality integrated in upper cylinder.
Meets environmental standards
We care about the environment just as much as you do. We continue our commitment by ensuring the Volvo Penta D13 complies with EPA Tier 3 & RCD Stage II emission standards.
Single supplier
Developed from helm to prop, the Volvo Penta D13 is part of a perfectly matched package consisting of the engine, transmission and electronics. Aside from the obvious reliability and performance benefits, it means you only need one point of contact.
IPS PROPULSION FOR YACHTS
When Volvo Penta introduced IPS, it meant a revolution in boating. Now, with the new powerful engines, IPS will revolutionize yachting as well. Check out how IPS brings you higher top speeds, lower fuel consumption, lower emission levels, and unique maneuverability.
