Volvo Penta

Volvo Penta is a world-leading supplier of engines and complete power systems for marine and industrial applications. It is associated with innovative and performance-oriented products in addition to quality, safety and environmental care. Volvo Penta is the world’s largest manufacturer of diesel engines for leisure boats and the leading developer of marine propulsion systems.

Penta was founded as Penta in 1907 with the production of its first marine engine, the B1. The Penta company soon became an established internal combustion engine manufacturer, which in 1927 delivered the engine for Volvo's first passenger car. Volvo acquired Penta in 1935 and Volvo Penta has been part of the Volvo Group since then.
