Volvo Penta is booming in North America

Since CONEXPO 2023, Volvo Penta has doubled its industrial engine sales in North America, reflecting robust market demand for reliable, high-performance power solutions and underscoring Volvo Penta’s expanding role in supporting both off-highway equipment and critical digital infrastructure such as data centers.

From internal combustion engines and battery-electric drivelines to battery systems for energy storage and engines running on alternative fuels such as natural gas and renewable diesel, the company continues to address the industry’s evolving needs with versatile solutions designed to maximize uptime, performance, productivity and long-term value.

On display will be the recently introduced G17 natural gas engine, operating on both pipeline-quality, conventional natural gas and renewable natural gas, and designed to deliver dependable performance that scales with the demands of high-growth sectors such as data centers.

With global data center construction projected to increase sixfold by 2027, demand is rising both for robust construction-site power and for dependable backup power once facilities are operational. Volvo Penta plays a key role across this lifecycle, supporting the data center construction boom by powering equipment such as excavators and mobile power units used in rental fleets, while also strengthening its position as a trusted provider of data center backup power.

“Reliable power is critical in every aspect for a data center, from building the facility to keeping it online,” says Anna Müller, President of Volvo Penta and member of Volvo Group management. “Volvo Penta systems deliver the heavy-duty performance, fuel efficiency and reliability required for high-demand construction environments, while also reinforcing our role as a trusted provider of data center backup power.”

“By working closely with OEMs, we deliver power-dense, low-emissions, fully certified solutions that maximize uptime and productivity. In just 15 years, this focus has earned us approximately 30% of the available global market share.”

A connectivity display will demonstrate how Volvo Penta Connect gives customers and fleet owners data-driven performance monitoring and maintenance planning access, guiding users to smarter decisions for optimal performance and care.
