Volvo Penta's sailboat engines
Volvo Penta is introducing five new engines for sailing and displacement boats: the D1-13, 20 and 30, the D2-40, and the D4-180All of the new engines feature low rpms, powerful torque, freshwater cooling, and powerful alternators, and comply with emission requirements introduced in the EU and USA as from 2006.
Volvo Penta's saildrive, which creates low resistance under sail and high efficiency during power, is available for engines up to 75hp. A wide range of reverse gears with straight or down angle shafts make it easy to find the best transmission.
With eight engines from 12–180hp, Volvo Penta now has a complete engine range for displacement boats and semi-planing boats.
When the worldwide Volvo Ocean Race begins in November of this year, all racing yachts entered in the competition will be equipped with standard models of Volvo Penta diesel engines.
