Presentation
Volvo Penta’s D4 and D6 is developed from the latest design in modern diesel technology. The engine has com-
mon rail fuel injection system, double overhead camshafts, 4 valves per cylinder, turbocharger, compressor, and
aftercooler. The interaction of these, the large swept volume, and the EVC system results in exceptional diesel
performance combined with low emissions.
