Volvo Penta D6-IPS is an integrated package, powered by the in-line 6-cylinder D6, a 5.5-liter, common-rail diesel with a turbo, working together with an optimized pod. The D6-IPS is available in 400, 450, 500, 600, and 650 power variations. This highly efficient propulsion system provides enhanced maneuverability, onboard comfort, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions.
Features & Benefits
Maneuverability
Steerable pods provide convenient slow-speed maneuverability and enhanced high-speed handling. The joystick simplifies docking, even in confined spaces, and the enhanced maneuverability supports an efficient driver response – which can improve safety on board.
Features & Benefits
Optimized performance
This optimized package provides enhanced performance and improved maneuverability. By working in undisturbed water, the forward-facing propellers further improve performance.
Features & Benefits
Comfort
This package is designed to deliver reduced noise and enhanced onboard comfort. A combined rubber suspension and seal help absorb propulsion forces and vibrations, and all exhaust fumes are emitted through the pods and into the prop wash to enhance comfort on board.
Features & Benefits
Electronic Vessel Control
Volvo Penta Electronic Vessel Control easily integrates into the propulsion system, offering you a range of optional features such as Joystick Docking, Dynamic Positioning System, and the Glass Cockpit.
Features & Benefits
Compact and durable package
The engine is designed and built for strength, utilizing advanced technology and materials. Together, the engine and pod form a compact, durable, and efficient package designed for ease of installation. This provides you with reliable performance and long-term durability.
Features & Benefits
Extended service life
Volvo Penta propulsion systems are designed for ease of maintenance. Our range of high-quality oil, lubrication, and coolant is designed to support reliable performance and extended time at sea. Standard features include replaceable separate full-flow and bypass oil filters, oil level and temperature sensors, and a crankcase oil separator to help maintain engine condition. The standard display includes a maintenance assistant indicating time to service.
