VOLVO PENTA GENSET ENGINE

TAD1344GE
399 kW (543 hp) at 1500 rpm, 449 kW (611 hp) at 1800 rpm, acc. ISO 3046

The TAD1344GE is a powerful, reliable

and economical Generating Set Diesel
Engine built on the dependable Volvo in-
line six concept.
Durability & low noise
Designed for easy, fast and economical
installation. Field tested to ensure high-
est standard of durability and long life.
Well-balanced to produce smooth and
vibration-free operation with low noise
level.
To maintain a controlled working tem-
perature in cylinders and combustion
chambers, the engine is equipped with
piston cooling. The engine is also fitted
with replaceable cylinder liners and valve
seats/guides to ensure maximum durabil-
ity and service life of the engine.
