What is behind the Volvo Penta Service?
As mentioned earlier, Volvo Penta is a part of the Volvo Group that has built a special reputation over the years for innovative technologies and high quality standards in the maritime market. Developments, such as the IPS system, have had a significant impact on the industry, setting new standards for performance and efficiency.
Volvo Pentas marine diesel engines, used from small recreational boats to large yachts, are a guarantee of reliability, efficiency and high performance. Marine gasoline engines, mainly used for recreational boats, are known for their easy handling and fast acceleration. In addition, Volvo Penta offers a range of industrial engines for industrial applications, including construction and agriculture.
The IPS (Inboard Performance System) is a revolutionary propulsion system from Volvo Penta in which the drive units are mounted under the boat and oriented forward.
This provides more efficient maneuverability and less vibration and noise compared to traditional shaft drives.
The combined inboard and outboard propulsion system, the Aquamatic Sterndrive, comes with a compact design. It is joined by a range of accessories, control and monitoring systems, joystick units and automatic trim tabs.
What sets Volvo Penta apart from the market is not only the number of authorized dealers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, but above all the possibility for customers to use the service in the respective cruising area. The goal is to offer maximum comfort to its customers, just as you can experience with us, one of the Volvo Penta partners.
