Volvo Penta IPS1200 with Twin D13 Engines – 1200HP

High-Performance Integrated Marine Propulsion with Unmatched Control and Efficiency

The Volvo Penta IPS1200 is a cutting-edge integrated propulsion system powered by twin D13 in-line 6-cylinder diesel engines, delivering a combined 1200 horsepower. This system is designed for operators demanding exceptional maneuverability, high torque at low RPMs, and industry-leading fuel efficiency. Built on Volvo Penta’s IPS3 platform, it features forward-facing, counter-rotating propellers that operate in undisturbed water, significantly reducing drag and improving handling, acceleration, and overall performance.

Each 12.8-liter engine is equipped with common-rail fuel injection, twin-entry turbocharging, and aftercooling for instant response and consistent power delivery. Seamless control is provided by Electronic Vessel Control (EVC), including Joystick Docking, Dynamic Positioning, and integrated helm systems for effortless navigation and real-time monitoring.
