Key Features and Benefits of the Volvo Penta D3-110
Advanced Engineering for Long Life and Durability
The D3-110 is built with Volvo Penta’s legendary reliability in mind. Its solid aluminum cylinder block and head provide exceptional strength and thermal efficiency, reducing overall engine weight while increasing resistance to corrosion and wear.
Each engine is rigorously tested under marine operating conditions to ensure long service life, minimal downtime, and optimal power output in all sea environments.
Compact, Lightweight, and Easy to Install
Thanks to its symmetrical, space-saving design, the Volvo Penta D3-110 fits easily into a wide variety of engine compartments, perfect for both new builds and repower projects.
The lightweight aluminum construction enhances the power-to-weight ratio, ensuring smooth operation, reduced vibration, and easier handling during installation and maintenance.
Unique Marine Torque for Superior Performance
The Volvo Penta D3-110 offers high torque even at low RPMs, enabling fast acceleration, superior maneuverability, and steady cruising speeds under load.
This distinctive marine torque curve makes it ideal for displacement and planing hulls, providing reliable propulsion whether cruising calmly or navigating strong currents.
Exceptional Fuel Efficiency and Reduced Emissions
Equipped with common-rail fuel injection and VGT turbocharging, the D3-110 ensures precise fuel atomization and efficient air intake.
An integrated Electronic Control Unit (ECU) continuously optimizes performance parameters, improving fuel economy, lowering exhaust emissions, and maximizing overall efficiency — saving owners fuel and money over time.
Volvo Penta Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) System
The EVC system provides complete integration between engine, helm, and electronics, offering advanced control and customization features for the modern mariner.
Key functions include:
-
Single-Lever Control for smooth throttle and shift operations
-
Cruise Control for precise RPM management
-
Glass Cockpit Display Integration for real-time data and diagnostics
-
e-Key Access for easy security and start authorization
-
System redundancy and fault monitoring for reliable operation
This next-generation control system ensures safe, seamless navigation and reduces operator workload for both leisure and professional users.
Freshwater Cooling System for Longevity
The freshwater cooling system prevents internal corrosion and stabilizes engine temperature, ensuring consistent performance and long-term reliability even under demanding marine conditions.
