New thinking makes the difference

Moving towards, flexible and fuel-efficient drive systems is a trend within the maritime industry. Multiple installations, diesel-electric or hybrid propulsion systems enables higher efficiency and reduced fuel consumption. The updated Volvo Penta D16 forms a perfect base for these types of installations.

Versatility

The D16 is Volvo Penta’s most powerful engine, with a range from 368 to 551 kW. Applications span from complete gensets and auxiliary installations to propulsion systems, multiple installations, diesel-electric or hybrid propulsion systems. You have a choice of control and cooling systems. The Volvo Penta D16 is designed for easy fitting of an after-treatment system. The compact design of the engine makes it space efficient, which simplifies installation.

Intelligent and open

Monitoring and control systems can be Volvo Penta’s proprietary, easily integrated systems (EVC or MCC) or the system of your choice, in which case the engine is delivered with an open CAN solution. Whatever your choice, this versatility enables integration with any ship automation system and any user interface. The benefit of the open CAN is an easier installation process for the OEM or yard , and customers will appreciate the ability to customize the control system — a feature previously unavailable.

Environmental performance

All Volvo Penta engines are designed to withstand high exhaust back pressure, which makes them perfect for applications that require additional, third-party exhaust after-treatment systems.
