New Engines from Volvo Penta
These off-road engines share the same common electronics platform as their D11, D13, and D16 counterparts, which allows them to communicate using the same protocol, regardless of emissions level +? simplifying design work for OEMs. The engines-? inline 4- and 6-cylinder design and common design footprint also make the design process easier for several emissions stages.
OEMs can replace their 6- or 7-litre 6-cylinder engines with the 4-cylinder D5, due to its higher power density. Downsizing to a 4-cylinder engine, with its lower weight and compact size, makes installation easier.
The D5 and D8 reduce fuel consumption by as much as 2.5 per cent, compared with previous generation engines; they also offer excellent power density and higher torque at low speed.
