Volvo Penta has embarked on the third stage of their IPS system, two new IPS drive packages, and can now offer IPS systems for vessels over 30m.
In 2005, Volvo Penta’s pioneering IPS system created a completely new marine segment, so-called pod installations.
With forward-facing and efficient propellers, the IPS system is the undisputed market leader in pod installations, which has largely replaced the boat industry’s traditional shaft installations.
The IPS1050 AND IPS1200 generate the equivalent of 1,050 and 1,200 horsepower, respectively, and are offered as a double, triple or quad engine installation.
The engine for the new power classes is Volvo Penta’s 13-litre engine equipped with dual-stage turbo technology, the D13, developing 800 and 900 horsepower, respectively.
As larger engines with higher power output and higher torque make large demands on the drive units Volvo Penta has also developed a larger and even more powerful IPS drive unit as well as a completely new series of propellers for the IPS1050 and IPS1200.
