2026 Volvo Penta D13 IPS D13 - D13-IPS1200

Volvo Penta D13-IPS was designed to deliver strong performance, improved maneuverability, enhanced onboard comfort, and a longer range – with reduced fuel consumption and emissions. The well-matched engine, transmission, and drive –characterized by twin counter-rotating propellers – create a smooth experience on the water. The durable engine was built with a rigid cast iron cylinder block and cylinder head, contributing to reliability and long-term durability. The entire package is integrated from helm to prop through the Electronic Vessel Control (EVC), with optional add-on features such as Glass Cockpit, cruise control, and more.

Features may include

To deliver 1000hp on demand, the D13 engine and IPS30 pod are designed and built to withstand significant forces. Upgraded pistons, camshafts, injectors, and cooling systems contribute to a compact, durable, and efficient package that is designed for easy installation and maintenance.

As the most powerful package in the IPS range, the D13-IPS1350 is ideal for yachts 60-120ft. The D13-IPS1350SD version is specifically designed to power larger, semi-displacement yachts. The torque curve has been modified to handle higher thrust loads at slower speeds. The D13-IPS1350SD also has a wider speed range down to 19 knots .

Despite its high output and swept volume, the compact engine and pod allow yacht designers to optimize internal architecture without compromising accessibility during maintenance. Available as a twin or triple installation, the D13-IPS1350 balances power, weight, and space.

Distinctive, forward-facing, twin counter-rotating propellers and individually steerable pods contribute to reduced fuel consumption and emissions. The engine and pod form a compact, durable, and efficient package that can increase efficiency by up to 30% compared to similarly powered competitors.

Together, the engine and pod are designed to optimize the yacht's internal architecture. This design contributes to high reliability and long-term durability. The cast-iron cylinder head and block form a compact, durable, and efficient package that is designed for easy installation.

The ‘around-the-clock’ support program is designed to help yacht owners maximize their time on the water. For yachts powered by Volvo Penta D13-IPS1350 twin, triple, or quadruple installations, we offer exclusive priority service and support at no additional charge.
