Volvo Penta D8 Stage II and IIIA/Tier 3 engine is the key product on display the company’s booth in Dubai. The participation in Middle East Energy 2020, in fact, allows the Swedish manufacturer to introduce Stage II and IIIA/Tier 3 versions of a power generation engine, the D8, that we saw a few months ago at DPE in Rimini in its Stage V version.

The 8-litre power generation engine offers indeed industry-leading power density and a compact size, combined with low fuel consumption and noise levels.
