Better handling and quiet operation coupled with fuel efficiency and better performance leaves nothing to doubt about their superiority to the traditional marine inboard engine. The options for boats and vessels of all sizes is met with a twin, triple and even quadruples. 100 foot yachts have never been easier to dock with forward facing Volvo Penta IPS quad setup.

Fuel efficiency was addressed at every turn when the Volvo Penta IPS was designed. Better high end speed with lower fuel consumption is a concept that is hard to grasp. Smaller engines and a aerodynamic driveline result in lower fuel usage for easily reaching further ports of call. Marine industry studies have shown a thirty percent decrease in fuel consumption. Volvo Penta IPS has much less drag than a traditional inboard marine diesel engine. These marine diesel engines use forward facing technology and the twin counter rotating propellers operate in undisturbed water. Boat thrust is parallel to the hull resulting in a more efficient manner where zero propulsion power is washed away.

Compact design and minimal noise and vibration disturbance make the Volvo Penta IPS the goto choice for boat manufacturers. These marine diesel engines were developed to have low CO2 emissions. Not only do you get a greener engine with a much lower carbon footprint but you engine stays much cleaner inside and out. No greasy smudges or smells associated with tradition inboards. Clean and quiet make for a safer boating experience all around. Counter rotating props and forward facing efficiency make docking this boat easy for novice sailors and youth alike. No loud engines will disturb you when docking and communication is made much smoother. Accidents are inevitable around the dock. Falling off the stern area of any boat is a dangerous situation. Forward facing props under the hull eliminate any chances of getting tangled up with the props.
