Volvo Penta

Volvo Penta offers complete drive systems and service for leisure boats, workboats and industrial applications such as diesel-powered generating equipment.

Volvo Penta operates in three areas of activity: Marine Leisure, Marine Commercial and Industrial.

The total European market for marine as well as industrial engines was strong in 2006. The total market for marine engines weakened in North America, while demand for industrial engines was more stable. The total market in Asia remained weak, due primarily to the low demand for diesel gensets in China. In contrast, the development on markets in other parts of the world was positive, for example, Turkey and South Africa.

Volvo Penta IPS
The award-winning new drive system for boats – the Volvo Penta IPS (Inboard Performance System) –  is a clear example of how product development contributes to creating competitive advantages for Volvo Penta's customers, for example, such world-leading boat builders as Bavaria, Beneteau/Jeanneau, Cranchi, Sessa Marine, Azimut, Tiara, Four Winns, Mustang and Intermarine.
