Volvo Penta diesel inboard

With a Volvo Penta diesel inboard, you get all the features for an excellent cruising life. Powerful acceleration, comfortable cruising speed and a great range get you quickly where you want to go in splendid comfort.

Worry-free ownership with high levels of safety, excellent service and good second-hand value are also included with every Volvo Pent.

Volvo Penta IPS

One of the greatest innovations ever in boating with car-like handling and maneuvering, joystick for easy docking plus dramatically increased efficiency compared to inboard shafts. How can that be? Through radical innovations and forward thinking.

The single biggest secret behind Volvo Penta IPS’s superior efficiency lies in the unique pods:

• Forward-facing, twin counter-rotating propellers that work in undisturbed water.
• A propeller thrust parallel with the boat’s hull.
• Efficient flat surface hull.

The result is around 35% better efficiency at cruising than inboard shafts, which leads to the same reduction in exhaust emissions and fuel consumption.

Volvo Penta gasoline sterndrive

Gasoline-powered engines are delivered mainly in sterndrive versions, but in certain markets inboard gasoline engines are also available.

Volvo Penta’s gasoline-powered engines are perfectly matched to their SX single-prop or DPS Duoprop drives for better overall performance.
