Volvo IPS- Drine Unit Overview
The IPS drive unit is hydraulic which means that forward
and reverse gears are achieved by using hydraulic fl luid and
a series of solenoid valves along with an oil cooler and oil
fi lter located on the drive unit.
The drive unit is protected against galvanic corrosion by
sacrifi cial anodes and ground straps. These ground straps
maintain a ground connection between the different
components of the drive unit.
