Volvo Penta D8-IPS700 IPS-Drive Engine

The Volvo Penta D8-IPS700 is an integrated marine propulsion package built around the in-line 6-cylinder D8 engine, a 7.7-liter common-rail diesel with twin-entry turbocharger and compressor. Paired with the IPS15 pod, forward-facing twin counter-rotating propellers, and the Electronic Vessel Control system, this package delivers strong low-rpm response, efficient propulsion, and precise maneuverability. The system is designed for twin and triple installations in planing hulls, supporting vessel speeds from approximately 20 to 40 knots.

Technical Features:

Common-rail fuel injection with electronically controlled Engine Management System
Twin-entry turbocharger and belt-driven compressor for improved low-rpm response
Cast-iron cylinder block with one-piece cast-iron cylinder head
Replaceable dry cylinder liners and valve seats/guides
Drop-forged crankshaft with induction-hardened bearing surfaces and seven main bearings
Four valves per cylinder with overhead camshaft and cross-flow inlet/exhaust ducts
Gallery oil-cooled cast aluminum alloy pistons with three piston rings
Flexible engine mounting with rubber suspension to reduce vibration
Seawater-cooled tubular oil cooler and tubular heat exchanger
Single cartridge-type oil filter for easy, spill-free replacement

Integrated exhaust routing through the pod into the propeller wash
Water-in-oil sensor and internal oil change capability
Nickel-aluminum bronze and stainless steel used in main underwater components
Built-in system redundancy for improved operational reliability
e-Key included as standard

Electronic Vessel Control (EVC):

The Electronic Vessel Control system integrates engines, electronics, and optional features such as Joystick Docking, Dynamic Positioning System, and Glass Cockpit displays. The system supports safe docking, precise low-speed handling, and simplified operation, with built-in redundancy to maintain backup control when required.

Comfort and Maneuverability:

Steerable IPS pods provide excellent slow-speed maneuverability and confident high-speed handling, even in confined waters. Forward-facing propellers operate in undisturbed water, helping to improve propulsion efficiency. The integrated rubber suspension and seal system helps absorb propulsion forces and vibration, while exhaust gases are discharged through the pods into the propeller wash to enhance onboard comfort.

Applications:

High-speed passenger ferries
Pilot boats and patrol vessels
Search and rescue boats
Coast guard and law enforcement craft
Crew transfer vessels
Private yachts and luxury motorboats
Planing hull vessels requiring twin or triple IPS installations

Note:

Exact configuration, emission certification, propeller selection, and optional equipment should be confirmed according to vessel type, installation requirements, and local regulations. For quotation, technical drawings, or package configuration, please contact us through the official sales channel.
