The Volvo D12 engine undergoes rigorous in-process inspections to ensure quality. The engine is completely disassembled and cleaned and each component is checked against original equipment specifications. When possible, critical components are replaced with new ones. The engine components are then machined using precision CNC machining centers.
Remanufactured Volvo D12 engines undergo rigorous in-process inspection
To ensure the quality of remanufactured Volvo D12 engines, they undergo an in-process inspection process to ensure that they meet the exact specifications of the original equipment. These engines are fully disassembled and cleaned, and every component is then measured against the manufacturer’s specifications. Critical components are replaced, and the machining process is conducted using precision CNC machining centers.
Super Direct engines are designed to stay in the engine’s “sweet-spot”
These engines are tuned to produce optimal torque and horsepower at lower rpms and improve fuel economy. This feature allows trucks to use lower fuel prices at highway speeds without sacrificing performance. The new Super Direct engine provides sufficient torque at ultra-low rpms, and the technology has been proven to increase fuel efficiency. This type of engine typically delivers fuel savings of 1% to 1.5% for every 100 rpm reduction.
A high-quality lubricant is important for engine performance. It reduces engine friction at high rpm. The difference in viscosity between SAE 10W-40 and SAE 0W-16 is minimal. The difference is greatest at high engine speeds and low loads, and the effect diminishes near the engine’s “sweet-spot” at 3000 rpm and 60% load.
Lightweight
When the Volvo D12 engine first appeared, it was a revolution. Some said it was ten years ahead of its time. According to Goran Nyholm, a retired Volvo engineer, the D12 engine was a breakthrough in truck technology. He was involved in the development of the engine at the R & D department in Goteborg and the production site in Skovde.
The D12 engine features a single overhead cam design. This design helps in achieving excellent fuel efficiency. The engine also features a brake system that helps in maintaining low engine temperatures. The engine is lightweight and offers high performance. It can generate up to 800 ft-lbs of torque and 465 horsepower.
Fuel-efficient
The Fuel-efficient Volvo D12 engine is one of the most popular engines in the industry and has been delivering promising results for many years. The D12’s single overhead cam engine activates electronic fuel injectors as well as four valves per cylinder with every camshaft rotation, providing excellent fuel mileage.
The D12 engine combines performance with fuel efficiency, minimal vibrations, and low exhaust emissions. The D12 is popular with marine operators in Northern Norway. Its low operating cost and fuel efficiency are perfect for small and mid-size boats that operate year-round. In addition, the D12’s relatively small size and low fuel consumption mean it is a great option for commercial operations.
Reliable
The Volvo D12 engine is one of the most reliable marine engines available. The D series of Volvo engines is highly reliable, and is commonly used in commercial boats. Although they tend to cost more than other brands, Volvo parts will rarely need replacement, as long as the engine is maintained properly. If you take good care of your D12, it will last for many years.
Its long life can be attributed to Volvo’s conservative approach to engineering. The company has always preferred to use tried-and-true solutions, and adhered to the founding principles of the company. As a result, Volvo has a long and prestigious reputation.
Cummins ISX15 is an alternative
If you are looking for an engine that is more efficient than the Volvo d12, a Cummins ISX15 engine may be a great choice. These engines are designed for heavy-duty use and are very reliable. In addition to this, Cummins also plans to introduce a fully electric powertrain by 2019.
Besides its power and torque, the Volvo D13 engine is known for its high fuel efficiency and lightweight design. It is one of the most energy-efficient engines available in its class, which makes it extremely cost-effective to operate. Moreover, it is reliable and long-lasting. It boasts of 400 to 600 horsepower, depending on the configuration.
