Volvo Penta is adding a Professional Platform version of its inboard propulsion system for professional vessels and superyachts from about 80 to more than 180 feet long.
This new version of IPS is scheduled to be released in 2025, promising top speeds of 12 to 40 knots. The propulsion package is being designed for a range of energy sources.
“We are looking forward to delivering our trademark helm-to-propeller experience to a whole new class of vessels,” Johan Inden, president of Volvo Penta’s marine business, stated in a press release. “It is designed to improve on our own high standards—with world-class performance, efficiency, flexibility—and a people-first approach in mind.”
The Volvo Penta IPS Professional Platform will be the largest, most powerful platform in the Volvo Penta IPS range with a new, larger marine drive called the Volvo Penta IPS 40. This drive will be powered by two Volvo Penta D13 engines, paired with a compact after-treatment system to comply with the latest IMO Tier III standards.
The platform can be installed as twins, triples or quads.
New service standard: Professional Volvo Penta IPS will come with premium service and support, including global parts availability, 24/7 customer support, predictive maintenance, remote diagnostics and remote software download.
