VOLVO GROUP
Naturally, the Volvo Ocean Race is about navigating the world's oceans using sails to harness the power of the wind – not using engines. However, the Volvo Open 70s competing in the race does still need engines: one to navigate in the harbours and for emergency situations and one to produce electrical power and drinking water. Volvo Penta is proud to help ensure the safety and success of the teams with the most reliable and cleanest engines on the market.
Volvo Penta is just one of the 9 business areas of Volvo Group. Apart from marine engines, we also make aircraft engines, trucks, buses and heavy-duty construction equipment. We also offer our customers financial services. For us, developing and building vehicles and engines where each generation is safer, more energy efficient and more environmentally friendly than the one before is a challenge worthwhile – and one that we follow with passion.
