Sweden's Volvo Penta has introduced a new engine range that significantly expands its power output up to 1,380 kW (1,850 hp) and opens vast new markets for the company's products. The new range will include in-line six cylinder units, and, for the first time for the company, V12 and V16 configuration engines. The new range comprises five basic engine sizes, from 24.5 - 65.4 liter displacement. The new engines are designed to be reliable, fuel efficient with low emissions, a suitable power choice for a wide range of vessels from coastal freighters and fishing vessels to harbor tugs operating on inland waters. In addition, the engines are reportedly suitable for auxiliary duties. On the table below are the power specifications for the new line.
