Volvo Penta D8 MH IMO III/EU Stage V Marine Auxiliary Variable Speed Engine 355 hp

Overview
  • Solid and robust engine design
  • Electronically controlled common-rail fuel system
  • Excellent monitoring with Volvo Penta Marine Commercial Control System (MCC) or Electronic Vessel Control (EVC)
  • Twin-entry turbo with pulse charging
  • EMS electronic control system for optimized fuel efficiency
Volvo Penta D8 MH IMOIII/EU Stage V Marine is a variable speed, in-line 6-cylinder, 7.7-liter diesel engine using common-rail fuel injection, overhead camshaft, a twin-entry turbo. This contributes to excellent operating economy and world-class diesel performance, combined with low emissions and noise. It's designed to cope with high back pressure and high-sulfur fuel (1,000ppm). The SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) exhaust after treatment system is tailored for a perfect fit. The SCR unit, also a silencer, reduces noise by 35-40 dBA. Volvo Penta has been able to fulfil IMOIII and Inland Waterway Stage V exhaust emission targets while maintaining the same low fuel consumption. And thanks to SCR, the engine power output remains unaffected.

features & benefits

Solid and robust

The engine is designed and built to be immensely strong, with a rigid cast-iron cylinder block and cylinder head. This gives high reliability and long-term durability. 

Unique Marine Torque

The unique marine torque of the Volvo Penta diesel engines stands out among the competition by offering increased load-carrying capability, rapid acceleration, and the ability to maintain a high cruising speed, irrespective of load or sea state.

High fuel efficiency

The high-tech fuel injection system helps make the engine highly fuel efficient. The control unit monitors several parameters which reduces the overall fuel consumption.

World-class performance

Together, the engine’s large swept volume and the electronic management system result in a very smooth-running engine with world-class diesel performance, low fuel consumption and low emission levels.

Electronic control systems

Volvo Penta offers two type-approved systems for on-board electronic control. Electronic Vessel Control fully integrates the engines, electronics and a range of optional features. Marine Commercial Control System is an open system that is easily integrated into the ship’s control system.

Long service life

A propulsion system from Volvo Penta is easy to maintain. Our comprehensive range of high-quality oil, lubrication and coolant ensures uptime and top performance in the long term. Accessories include a fuel pre-filter to keep the engine in good condition.
