Model: D6-380 A
Product Overview:
The Volvo Penta Aquamatic Sterndrive D6-DPI is a fully integrated marine propulsion package, built around a 5.5-liter in-line six-cylinder common-rail diesel engine. Equipped with double overhead camshafts, a turbocharger, supercharger, and aftercooler, it delivers strong diesel performance with low emissions. When paired with the DPI DuoProp sterndrive, the system provides efficient thrust, responsive handling, and reliable operation for high-performance boats.
