Varberg Energi and Volvo Penta are exploring how Boat-to-Grid technology could enable hybrid and electric vessel batteries to contribute to the electricity grid and create new business models. Through a stepwise approach, the aim is to explore, learn and test how this innovation could contribute to accelerating marine electrification in the long term.

Volvo Penta continues to push the boundaries of sustainable innovation with the launch of its new fully electric marine propulsion range, built on the proven Volvo Penta IPS platform. This is another milestone in the company’s path to deliver zero emission vehicles and vessels on land and at sea.

Junttan, the Finnish foundation equipment specialist, has partnered with Volvo Penta to power its next-generation machines—starting with the new DR5 drilling rig—uniting shared values, technical strength, and a long-term vision for reliable, future-ready solutions.

Volvo Penta has joined forces with power solutions manufacturer e-power® to deliver a cutting-edge Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) tailored for the rental sector, for one of Europe’s largest construction rental companies, Boels Rental. At the core of the collaboration is Volvo Penta’s BESS subsystem: a scalable, adaptable solution with an integration-ready architecture that enables faster time to market and application-specific flexibility.

As industrial sectors evolve, Volvo Penta is taking steps to redefine service excellence through a strengthened dealer and OEM partner network. The company will highlight how its strategic dealer consolidation, digital connectivity, and service-driven business model can help realize future-ready support for its customers worldwide.
