The demanding environments and specific needs of forestry operations are perfectly met by the Volvo Penta off-road diesel engines. No matter if you employ a harvester, a buncher or a dozer, Volvo Penta can always supply reliable power solutions. With more than 100 years of engineering experience, you can trust our forestry engines to supply your operation with sustainable solutions that excel in fuel- and energy efficiency, maximizing your uptime and productivity.
Engine response and fuel consumption are two of the main keys to an efficient and productive forestry operation. Volvo Penta’s industrial engines will help keep operations running at full capacity, keeping a consistent rpm, even during heavy-duty tasks. The low fuel consumption and reliable power output will help maximize uptime and productivity.
Engines used for forestry applications and machinery have extended service intervals of up to 1,000 hours which translates into increased productivity through longer operational time. It’s also easy to plan for preventive maintenance – and thanks to our global distribution network, quick spare parts delivery will further minimize unwanted stops. And should they happen, in remote locations, Volvo Penta Action Service is always available for emergency assistance.
All Volvo Penta industrial engines are based on the same engine platform. This equals a number of benefits – for both operators and OEMs. As all engines share a number of vital characteristics such as service points and interface, installation is easy and any service or maintenance will differ very little from engine to engine, leading to improved efficiency. The engine’s functionality and the easy serviceability can be further improved through optional equipment such as remote dipsticks or oil fills, cooling systems and multiple PTO:s.
