| The new Volvo Penta TAMD 165 is a versatile marine diesel engine designed to meet the most stringent emission requirements. The TAMD 165 is a 16-liter, in-line six-cylinder engine for all types of commercial marine applications: as a power source for planing and displacement craft, marine auxiliary systems and generator sets. The TAMD 165 is a modified version of Volvo Penta’s existing 16-liter engine. The comprehensive improvement program has resulted in reduced exhaust emissions, lower engine oil consumption, greater reliability and a longer service life.

| Last year's agreement with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has resulted in a considerable expansion of Volvo Penta's product programme. With a range of diesel engines of up to 1,700 kW, Volvo Penta can now target entirely new customer groups, thereby building the foundation for a considerable expansion of its Marine Commercial business segment. During the first year, sales of the new engines have substantially exceeded expectations. |
| Volvo Penta is now offering complete marine genset systems up to 1700 kW, 65-liter total displacement. The new product program covers the range from 90 to 1700 kW, 7 to 65 liters displacement. All of the gensets are based on Volvo Penta’s proven marine diesel engines that are matched with generators from leading manufacturers. There is a selection of generators for each engine to meet varying power requirements. |
| Volvo Penta has long been one of the leading suppliers of diesel engines for powering various types of irrigation systems. Engines that facilitate agriculture in areas where it would otherwise be impossible. At the Saudi Agricultural Show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the company is unveiling a number of new engines: a 12-liter electronically controlled engine of not less then 500 hp, as well as a 5-liter and a 7-liter diesel. The new engines are instrumental in the company’s strategic emphasis on industrial drive systems in which irrigation and other stationary applications play a key role.

| Each boat competing in the Volvo Ocean Race is equipped with two engines from Volvo Penta. One engine should, if possible, never be used during the race, the other is decisive for the boats completing the race at all. This is how Volvo Penta's engines contribute to completion of the Volvo Ocean Race as fast as possible – and as safely as possible. |
| Volvo Penta has signed an agreement to supply boat engines to the French boat-builder Beneteau Group. The agreement is valued at approximately SEK 200 M for Volvo Penta. |
| Volvo Penta is developing the power output of its marine gasoline engines with up to an additional 20 horsepower. With power ratings of up to 320 horsepower, the upgraded gasoline engines become faster and more reliable – while at the same time beginning this year they are being delivered in the classic Volvo Penta red color. |
| KAD 300/DP and KAMD300 are the designations of Volvo Penta's powerful new marine diesel engines in the 300-horsepower performance range. The new engine range and the new Duoprop drive further strengthen Volvo Penta's product program for planing boats. |
| Volvo Penta is launching new diesel engines for sailboats and non-planing motorboats, known as displacement boats. Both the D2-55 and the TAMD31S have higher torque and lower rpm and noise levels, thereby providing an extremely high level of onboard comfort for customers. |
| Volvo Penta has received an order for an additional 1,700 industrial engines from Saudi Arabia. The order is valued at slightly more than SEK 250 M. |
