Powerful and Clean

The D16 in-line 6 diesel is specially designed and
developed for installations in heavy duty commercial displacement craft, featuring the latest design
in modern diesel technology. The engine features a
robust block with ladder frame, high pressure unit injector system, 4 valves per cylinder, twin entry turbo
and charge air cooler. The heat exchanger is designed for reduced charge-air-cooling temperature,
which in combination with the injection system, and
the Engine Management System (EMS-2) further
improve performance and drivability, meeting future
stringent emission requirements. This results in a very
smooth running engine with world-class performance,
combined with low fuel consumption and low emissions.
World-class performance

State-of-the-art engine technology featuring the worlds most efficient charge air
cooler, high pressure unit injector system,
in combination with twin entry turbo charger, all of which ensure high power, low
fuel consumption, and outstanding torque
during load acceptance, with virtually no
sign of smoke. All controlled by the Volvo
developed electronic management system.

Durability and high quality

The D16MH is a further development of

the well-proven Volvo Penta D12 in-line six
concept with robust block design, rear-end
transmission, ladder frame and a one-piece
cylinder head with overhead camshaft and
4-valve technology. This contributes to excellent operating economy, high reliability and
long-term durability.
The D16MH is built in the worlds most
highly automated diesel engine factory line
with robotic machining and computer controlled audit checks, which ensures the highest quality level.

EVC/EC Plug and go

EVC Electronic Vessel Control is the latest

development in engine control and instrumentation for Volvo Penta marine engines.
It offers a higher level of integration in
your boat: electronic shift and throttle for
smooth and safe control, a complete range
of easy to read data link gauges, an EVC
system display (option) and much more,
everything in just one CAN cable.

EVC makes boating easier and

safer, offering twin engine synchronization and the new software function
trip computer. EVC is scalable from
one station up to four, from a classic
dashboard up to an advanced driver
information system. EVC works closely
together with the engine management
system, offering you constant power
output regardless of fuel temperature
(5 55C/41131F) and quality. The
system is built on the latest automotive
technology with waterproof connectors,
so its just plug and go.
As an option the EVC system is fully
classifiable with a safety shutdown unit
(SDU) with exclusive shutdown senders
with full broken wire detection and a
power module for automatic switch-over
to backup power supply (PM).

Ease of service and

maintenance

The EVC system features a self-diagnostic facility, which indicates on the instrument panel if a failure should occur.
The engine has a compact and clean
design, easy to service and maintain.

Meeting new emission

standards

The high-pressure unit injector system

in combination with electronics and an
advanced combustion system are setting new standards in minimizing noxious emissions and particulates.
