Virtually no fumes
Clean engines and low fuel consumption plus exhaust fumes emitted through the pods, into the propwash and carried well behind the boat, practically eliminates fumes.
Minimal vibrations
The pods handle the propulsion forces and soft-suspended engines practically eliminate vibrations and noise.
Reducing environmental impact is a challenge for the boating world.
Volvo Penta IPS offers up to:
- Reduced fuel consumption by 30–50%
- 35% better efficiency
- 30% reduced exhaust emissions
The secret behind the Volvo Penta IPS's superior efficiency lies in the unique pods:
Forward-facing, twin counter-rotating propellers that work in undisturbed water. The thrust is parallel with the hull. All the power drives the boat forward.
