Volvo Penta Stage V engines are said to be 5% more fuel efficient than their Stage IV predecessors

Volvo Penta’s Stage V emissions-compliant engines are said to have proven extremely promising in field-tests, boasting fuel consumption reductions of up to 5%, compared to their Stage IV predecessors. This not only reduces CO² output but also the total cost of ownership.

With a power range from 105 to 585kW, Volvo Penta Stage V engines are said to be specifically engineered to give customers optimum productivity, uptime and total cost of ownership, and is developed to offer ease of installation, operation and maintenance.

“We are keen to demonstrate to our customers that Volvo Penta is continuing to lead the way when it comes to engine and power systems innovation, most recently with EU Stage V,” says Johan Inden, president of Region Europe at Volvo Penta. “We are already seeing evidence that our customers understand this. Over the last three years, the Volvo Penta Industrial segment has increased its annual sales by an average of 33%.”

Volvo Penta Stage V range provides improved productivity through an engine and exhaust aftertreatment system that has been designed to work together seamlessly. Among other claimed benefits, this maximises passive regeneration during normal operation and, therefore, removes the need for stand-still regeneration. Uptime has also been boosted by improved oil change service intervals, which have been doubled from 500 to 1,000 hours. In addition, Volvo Penta has championed ease-of-installation by ensuring commonality between different emission levels.

In addition to off-road, Volvo Penta recently launched its first Stage V engine for mobile gensets: the D16. The D16 is a neat and compact engine with lower maintenance requirements. It delivers around 3% better fuel economy (versus Stage IIIA), providing improved total cost of ownership.

In parallel to developing its diesel-powered solutions, Volvo Penta is leveraging the strength of the Volvo Group. At bauma, under the theme “Optimised for Tomorrow,” Volvo Penta displayed its full range of Stage V off-road engines (D5, D8, D11, D13 and D16), as well as its innovative aftertreatment system and electric driveline.
