Volvo Penta gears up with new engines

Volvo Penta will show two newly-redesigned 5litre and 8litre engines and a complete range of common-platform units spanning all emission levels. The company’s Stage IV/Tier 4 Final D11 engine will be seen with the new Stage IV/Tier 4 Final-compliant 5litre and 8litre engines. Developed in coordination with the Volvo Group, the D5 and D8 engines feature a newly-designed platform, and are also available to meet Stage II/Tier 2, Stage IIIA/Tier 3 equivalent and Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emissions standards.

Volvo Penta’s redesigned Tier 4 Final/Stage IV D8 engine
783 Volvo Penta will show two newly-redesigned 5litre and 8litre engines and a complete range of common-platform units spanning all emission levels.

The company’s Stage IV/Tier 4 Final D11 engine will be seen with the new Stage IV/Tier 4 Final-compliant 5litre and 8litre engines.

Developed in coordination with the Volvo Group, the D5 and D8 engines feature a newly-designed platform, and are also available to meet Stage II/Tier 2, Stage IIIA/Tier 3 equivalent and Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emissions standards. This means where a manufacturer exports its products, Volvo Penta has an engine to match the market’s emission regulations.

All Volvo Penta’s engines, regardless of emission stage, share a common footprint, with components such as the turbocharger located in the same place on all models.

The range also shares a common electronics platform that allows them to communicate using the same protocol, regardless of emissions level.

The company says that displacement has also been increased, compared to previous versions, offering improved engine block stiffness, as well as higher torque at low speed, but “despite a larger displacement, fuel consumption is reduced by as much as 2.5%.”

Volvo Penta will also show off its Tier 4 Final/Stage IV after-treatment system, selective catalytic reduction (SCR), for the D5 and D8. It says it is a simple and straightforward way of lowering nitrogen oxide (NOx) levels. With SCR technology, AdBlue is injected into the exhaust line and reacts with NOx in the catalytic converter to turn the harmful compound into nitrogen and water.

“The SCR-only solution requires fewer parts and less maintenance than other kinds of after-treatment systems,” says Volvo Penta.

    Innovation in earthmoving machines will help users reduce running costs while boosting productivity - Mike Woof writes. The earthmoving equipment market is hotly contested and is one in which manufacturers compete hard to introduce machines with working advantages over rival models. This has fuelled strong competition in terms of machine performance and quality over the years, resulting in the development of high-performance equipment that is also reliable and long lasting. This is particularly true of the

    CASE Construction Equipment is launching the CX490D and CX500D as part of the manufacturer’s new generation D-Series crawler excavator offering in the quarrying sector. Like their earthmoving cousins, the CX160D and CX180D and the utility sector CX130D, the larger models feature CASE’s fuel-efficient Tier 4 Final (Euro IV) maintenance-free technology with no DPF. The CX490D adds around 1.5tonnes to its predecessor in the C Series, bringing its weight very close to 50tonnes. At the top of the range
