Volvo Penta enhances training support
Volvo Penta opens new training hub in Nuremberg where technicians can gain hands-on experience with real engines and systems, guided by expert trainers
The growing technological complexity of our products requires an upgrade to training facilities, which Volvo Penta has completed in Nuremberg. Volvo Penta has officially opened a new training facility strategically positioned in Nuremberg, Germany, as a hub and important resource for key markets in Central Europe.
Located in a revitalized industrial site in the heart of the city, the center blends heritage with modern functionality. It is designed to educate and deliver immersive, hands-on training with real Volvo Penta engines and systems, ensuring participants gain practical expertise they can immediately apply in the field.

The center is being led by Volvo Penta technical trainer Michael Schubert, who joined the company in 2024 and has over fifteen years’ experience in the industry.
“I’m excited to welcome our partners and technicians to the new facility,” says Michael. “With this center, we are bringing training to life and getting enthusiastic people to work with real Volvo Penta engines and systems, share best practices, and ultimately bolster the Volvo Penta service network.”
Since July 2025 in the heart of Europe
“This center is about more than technical training,” Michael adds. “It’s about building the confidence, skills, and strong connections across our service community. It’s providing a dedicated space where professionals can learn and get to grips with Volvo Penta technology directly.”
Currently, competence center can involve getting hands-on with five-to-13-liter engines with near-future plans to accommodate Volvo Penta’s full engine range up to the D17. Future initiatives would include electromobility and commercial training. Nuremberg offers a strategic location offering accessibility not just within Germany, but for the neighbouring markets of Switzerland, Austria, Poland, and Czechia, and is easily accessible by public transport and major highways. This area is the very heart of engine technology and is a hub for unparalleled local expertise.
“The new Nuremberg training center represents Volvo Penta’s long-term commitment to service excellence in Central Europe,” says Michael. “By investing in hands-on training, we’re not only strengthening our dealer and partner network but also ensuring that customers can rely on the highest standards of support for their Volvo Penta engines.”
