VOLVO PENTA INBOARD DIESEL

D12-800
570 kW (775 hp) crankshaft power acc. to ISO 8665

Excellent Performance
and Pleasant Cruising
The D12-800 is a further development of the success-
ful and well-proven high pressure unit-injected and 4
valves per cylinder D12 marine engine. Electronically
governed wastegate turbo, a new-designed heat ex-
changer for reduced charge-air-cooling temperature
in combination with a new injection system, and a
new Engine Management System (EMS-2) further
improve performance and driveability, meeting fu-
ture stringent emission requirements.
A rigid in-line six cylinder block with ladder frame
and vibration dampers on the camshaft results in
a smooth-running engine for high onboard com-
fort.
