Boost Your Operation’s Efficiency with Volvo Penta’s IPS Professional Platform
After more than 10,000 hours of virtual and on-water tests at Volvo Penta’s Krossholmen Test Center in Sweden, the new Volvo Penta (IPS) professional platform will start series production in 2025. This new platform promises a powerful and flexible solution for professional vessels from (55 feet to 180 feet) with top speed from 12-40 knots. The new, larger, and versatile Volvo Penta IPS propulsion package is a true piece of state-of-the-art engineering prepared for a range of energy sources, while also featuring a new level of premium support and innovative features.
Features:
- 30% Expanded Range: Go farther on less fuel, maximizing your operational capabilities.
- 40% Enhanced Acceleration: Experience faster response times, ensuring you can tackle any challenge efficiently.
Benefits:
The Volvo Penta IPS 40 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. However, the platform is already prepared for a mix of power sources, from combustion engines running on renewable fuels to fully electric or hybrid solutions. The dual power input design offers flexibility and modularity on the journey toward increased sustainability. The Volvo Penta IPS professional platform is installed as twin, triple, or quad, meaning each vessel will have from four to eight power sources and includes matched software, services, and support, all integrated via Volvo Penta’s proprietary EVC technology. The complete package, from helm to propeller, is designed, verified, and serviced by one integrator — Volvo Penta.
The ultimate in uptime
Backed by its worldwide authorized service network, Volvo Penta will offer global parts availability and 24/7 customer support. Advanced connectivity will enable predictive maintenance, remote diagnostics, and remote software download, all contributing to premium-level support and increased uptime.
The next game-changer
“Our passion, experience, and history of proven results with IPS are an integral part of our ongoing technology development — with the aim to reach new heights with this new professional platform,” says Johan Inden, president of Volvo Penta's marine business. “The new Volvo Penta IPS is a powerful platform that will provide the ultimate helm-to-propeller experience. It builds on a rich tradition of forward-thinking Volvo Penta design that puts people at the heart,” Johan says. “We are eager to expand this platform to a whole new class of professional marine segments while enabling the move toward increased sustainability at sea. It is an exciting time for the marine industry, and we believe our new IPS professional platform will be the next game-changer.”
