Volvo: Nomen omen

Share:

Volvo has always linked its name to comfort and safety. In all brands. And Volvo Penta was no exception with the new D13-1000 marine engine also available in the D13-IPS1350 version. An engine for high-performance that meets the requirements for limited space and noise and vibration reduction of builders of yachts from 60 to 120 feet.

In the collective imagination, the name Volvo calls to mind the two basic concepts of safety and comfort. From cars to industrial vehicles and earthmoving machines, the products of this Swedish brand continue these important values.

With continuous work over time that has helped maintain high levels in research and development in line with these objectives, greatly increasing the value of the brand.

A vocation for the true requirements of the end-user which, even with the “simple” supply of engines, always maintains a precise focus.
