New Volvo Penta Compact Engine Series
December 2 2008
Production has started on the new series of compact engines to replace today's current series of compact engines. The new series will comply with the EPA Tier 3 emission regulations which become effective 1 January 2009. Almost all changes are internal and provide better control over fuel injection and combustion. External changes to the engines will be minimal, and in most cases will not impact installation requirements.
The new engine series will be designated "F" and will carry new specification numbers as follows:
D1-13F 869643
D1-20F 869644
D1-30F 869645
D2-40F 869646
D2-55F 869647
D2-75F 869648
Inventory management at Volvo Penta will phase in orders for the new series engines as we exhaust prior series and all old series of any model wil be shipped from inventory before any new series ship. Hopefully, all older series will be exhausted by the 1st of January 2009.
