The Power of Volvo in Construction Equipment Volvo is a major manufacturer of diesel engines and is the world’s largest producer of heavy-duty diesel engines in the 9 to 18 liter …size bracket. As one of the leading diesel engine manufacturers in the world, Volvo possesses extensive, advanced engine research & development and manufacturing resources. Volvo diesel engines are powering the trucks, buses and construction equipment produced by the company and is a major power source in marine and industrial applications.

Volvo D16E diesel engine in Volvo construction equipment
The Volvo D16E is Volvo’s most powerful diesel engine with a power-range that in its various on- and off-road applications spans from 346 kW (471 hp) to 604 kW (821 hp). •The design of the Volvo D16E is based on a solid evolution of the world-leading diesel engine technology introduced in the Volvo D12, the world´s most manufactured diesel engine in the 12-liter size class, and represents a new generation of high performance- low emission Volvo diesel engines. •The Volvo D16E has many design features in common also with the 9 liter Volvo D9B, such as the configuration and location of the timing mechanism. •Featuring Volvo’s advanced electronic engine management system – another shared element and a major V-ACT feature used with all six-cylinder medium and large size Volvo diesel engines for off- road applications – that instantaneously adapts performance to suit each new operating situation. •Configured for the demanding heavy-duty applications in construction, earthmoving and mining equipment. •Providing outstanding performance, reliability and durability. •Manufactured with world-leading engine production and assembly technology. •Complies with US (EPA) Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA exhaust emission standards.

Engine performance matching the application – optimized performance of each Volvo diesel engine model for operation in each individual model of Volvo construction equipment. Volvo – as one of just a few manufacturers of both engines and construction equipment – enjoy the benefits of an entirely integrated equipment/engine system, creating an optimized match between engine, machine systems and operator controls.

The resulting main benefits are: •Power when and where needed •Torque as needed, with peak torque at low to modest engine speeds •Ample torque rise as required by application •Smooth, direct throttle response for maximum operability and maximum operator satisfaction and efficienty •Low fuel consumption •Low exhaust emission levels •Low noise levels
