Volvo Penta D8

The newest Volvo Penta marine diesel power plant is making waves within the marine industry. Their latest addition to their powerfully efficient marine diesel engine lineup is the Volvo Penta D8. This model is available in both IPS (Inboard Performance System) & Shaft Configuration. The pod systems are known for superior power and torque all while reducing noise. The forward facing efficiency gives the Volvo Penta D8 the best handling for any marine diesel engine on the market. Achieve the next level of marine diesel power with a Volvo Penta D8 power plant with 550-600 hp (horsepower). Meeting the expanding demand for more power while using less fuel is only accomplished by the Volvo Penta IPS line.

Volvo Penta D8 Diesel Inboard incorporates a ZF transmission, top grade materials are used for all peripheral parts including the exhaust elbow and engine mounts. Common marine diesel parts that take the brunt of the work load are engineered to withstand thousands of hours in the most demanding conditions. Reducing vibration results in a much more pleasurable onboard ambience that is astoundingly quiet. The lower decibel output for all of the Volvo Penta IPS line has been achieved through highly tested and engineered patented design principles. The Volvo Penta D8 is in a class of its own for power, reliability and overall performance. This is all done while reducing noise pollution along with lower carbon footprint. A large factor in this is utilizing the latest technological advances in common rail technology. Having a vast rpm (revolutions per minute) range allows the Volvo Penta D8 to have the smoothest acceleration and planing time is unsurpassed. Cruising speeds use less fuel coupled with less noise,vibration and cavitation will make for the most comfortable ride on the water.

Higher marine diesel engine performance and much lower fuel usage is a trademark of the Volvo Penta IPS line. Volvo Penta sets the standard worldwide for marine diesel engine reliability. Getting the most horsepower and torque while reaching the pinnacle for power to weight ratio. A much higher torque at lower rpm makes for a quicker hole shot when accelerating and maneuverability at high speeds is heightened. At higher rpm, the full throttle torque allows cruise speeds to be at their most efficient for fuel consumption. Lower emissions with better fuel economy make the Volvo Penta D8 Diesel IPS the absolute best choice for a marine diesel engine.

Maneuvering for the Volvo Penta D8 IPS is made easier with the with the Volvo Penta joystick technology. This responsive and user friendly joystick makes docking, driving, cruising, working, fishing, diving and traversing long distances much more enjoyable. Volvo Penta D8 inboard has the option for using the joystick technology while the IPS comes equipped with a joystick control. No matter which drive you choose precision steering for complicated and more difficult docking scenarios is accomplished with the touch of a finger via the joystick technology.

Volvo Penta was the true pioneer of joystick maneuverability and they have only strengthened their place in the marine industry with the Volvo Penta IPS D8 and Volvo Penta D8 Inboard. Both units have many options which make leisure boats easier and more efficient to operate. Volvo Penta’s Interceptor System allows you to control all trim functions with the push of a button. Volvo Penta’s Glass Cockpit system is a scalable platform which give control and monitoring of vital system components.

Easy boating is the mantra for all Volvo Penta products. Diesel Services of America is proud to offer certified Volvo Penta IPS Drive services. Give us a call 954-781-1464
