VOLVO PENTA GENSET ENGINE

TAD1641GE
484 kW (658 hp) at 1500 rpm, 565 kW (768 hp) at 1800 rpm, acc. to ISO 3046

The TAD1641GE is a powerful, reliable

and economical Generating Set Diesel
Engine built on the dependable in-line six
design.
Durability & low noise
Designed for easiest, fastest and most
economical installation. Well-balanced to
produce smooth and vibration-free opera-
tion 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.
Low exhaust emission
The state of the art, high-tech injection
and charging system with low internal
losses contributes to excellent combus-
tion and low fuel consumption.
The TAD1641GE complies with EU
Stage 2 exhaust emission regulations.
