Volvo Penta IPS – Inboard Performance System
Volvo Penta IPS overvieiw
Volvo Penta IPS is setting a new standard:
– Much improved efficiency, higher top speed, re-
duced fuel consumption/extended range and great
acceleration
– Low-speed maneuvering is easier than ever be-
fore, and high speed handling is a dream
– Onboard comfort is greatly enhanced thanks to
much lower levels of sound and vibrations
– Installation is greatly simplified
– More space available for accommodation
– Improved safety and quality
– Ease of service and a complete system supported
by one supplier
– Improved overall environmental care
All this is combined with the usual benefits of a tra-
ditional inboard such as a robust, high strength con-
struction, excellent corrosion resistance and the pro-
pellers under the hull.
Maneuvering and handling
The reasons for the amazing maneuverability are:
– The Volvo Penta IPS drive-units are steerable,
turning and pointing the entire thrust in the desired
direction. This results in much higher efficiency
and far greater response to driver commands.
– Two counter-rotating propellers on each propul
-
sion unit means that there are no lateral forces to
consider and that tracking is completely straight.
– Electronic controls give a distinct and precise
feeling, and shifting is immediate. Thanks to the
progressive electronic steering, the wheel spins
easier at low speed, further reducing driver effort.
