Volvo Penta D6 480 DPI marine made one step further
The Volvo Penta D6 480 DPI offers more horsepower, more installation options and a more integrated boating experience
Volvo Penta’s D6 480 DPI is packed with electronics and comes in a version rich in ‘horsepower’. The Volvo Penta’s package features the company’s fully integrated helm-to-propeller system. This system harmonizes signature Volvo Penta features, such as Joystick Driving, Assisted Docking and Autopilot, all of which are accessible via the Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit System.
D6 480 DPI and the Aquamatic family
This latest development expands the Volvo Penta Aquamatic DPI range, delivering even greater performance and versatility in both the marine commercial and leisure boating markets. Designed for single, twin, triple or quadruple installations, the new D6 480 DPI provides a powerful and scalable propulsion package, making it ideal for a broad range of boats and applications. For both repowering and new boats, the package unlocks new possibilities for builders, dealers and boaters alike.
“With the D6 480 DPI, we’re further strengthening our Aquamatic DPI range by offering a complete, integrated package that delivers outstanding comfort, performance and onboard flexibility – perfect for modern boat owners and commercial marine operators looking for an upgrade, in every sense of the word,” says Ludvig Börjesson, Product Planner at Volvo Penta.
In addition, Volvo Penta Duoprop technology provides outstanding grip, enabling the ability to make tight turns at speed, a crucial feature in many high-speed applications. For marine commercial professionals, these high levels of precision, control and maneuverability contribute to easier operation.
Sterndrive configuration
The new Aquamatic package features a sterndrive configuration, providing an open transom with extra space at the aft. This enables closer proximity to the water, unobstructed views, more opportunities to enhance onboard comfort and more versatility in terms of how deck space can be used. All these benefits have a positive impact for both leisure boaters and marine commercial users.
Volvo Penta highlights the hydraulic clutch as a way to provide a quieter and more relaxing experience on board.
