Volvo Penta D3 diesel - great performance with low emissions

The new D3, in four power classes from 140 to 220 horsepower, is It has a common rail fuel injection system with a pressure of 1,800 bar and piezoelectric injectors, which make possible multiple injections per working cycle and thus even more precise fuel quantities. Advanced and highly efficient cross-flow cooling maintains an even engine temperature.

Precise electronic control
A variable geometry turbocharger gives the engine effective supercharging from even very low rpm up to maximum rpm. This results in a powerful torque for rapid acceleration up to planing speed and a higher top speed. Everything is monitored and controlled electronically, now with even greater precision.

Eye on the future
In comparison to its predecessor, the D3's output has been increased from 190 to 220 hp at the same time as fuel consumption, sound and emissions are lower. The new D3's emissions are in line with the very stringent US EPA Tier 3 regulations, which come into force in 2012.
