Packaged power
Auxiliary Engines
We offer variable and constant speed engines – from 77 to 625 kW – that pack high power and unique marine torque.
Technology
Powerful technology for tough work. Our auxiliary solutions feature robust engine blocks manufactured from high-strength castings, with components optimized to withstand tough marine conditions. As with all Volvo Penta engines, you access the full power output immediately, regardless of load.
Choose from a selection of interface options to suit your vessel. The MCC electronic platform is a powerful interface for managing multiple installations and efficient load sharing. Alternatively, an open CAN Interface delivers the engine without a control system. Further options – with or without shutdown senders and switches – are available.
Our auxiliary solutions are available with a wide range of cooling options – heat exchanger, keel, radiator or central cooling.
Thanks to our Volvo Penta common engine platform – tested and well proven in a wide range of Volvo Group and marine applications world-wide – our auxiliary engine range benefits from shared parts and service points, cutting lead times.
Meet your match. We offer fully-classified auxiliary engines for use in applications including gensets, pumps, cranes, hydraulic power packs, bow thrusters, air compressors, high-pressure water systems, fire-fighting equipment, nitrogen pumps and dry bulk handling.
Multiple installations
Even more hands on deck
Make your system more sustainable by installing auxiliary engines as part of a diesel-electric operation. Compact and perfectly matched, these multi-engine combinations allow you to easily optimize engine load in upstream and downstream operations while keeping fuel consumption and engine running hours low. Overall, you benefit from increased uptime, lower cost of ownership, and a greener, more responsible solution.
Round-the-clock support
Our extensive global dealer network means you’re never far from the parts you need and a qualified engineer to safely install them. The platform commonality between all our Volvo Penta engines simplifies parts availability even further, resulting in shorter lead times.
