The Volvo Penta IPS Professional Platform reflects a design philosophy rooted in Scandinavian craftsmanship and precision engineering.

In Köping, Sweden, that philosophy is brought to life. Here, each IPS Professional Platform drive begins its journey through meticulous pre-assembly, where critical components are pressed with exacting tolerances and digitally registered to ensure full traceability from the very start.

From controlled cleanroom assembly to the final testing rig, every step is guided by precision from fine shim adjustments that ensure optimal gear meshing to detailed software calibration.
The result is not simply a propulsion system, but a platform crafted to meet the demanding standards across yacht and commercial marine operations.

In some regions, vessels are the infrastructure. Across the Amazon, passenger ferries serve millions every day, connecting communities, enabling access to work, education, healthcare, and family in places where roads don’t exist.

Powered by Volvo Penta propulsion solutions, these vessels deliver the performance, efficiency, and durability essential for long, unpredictable journeys. A single D16 850 hp engine helps a key vessel in the region, the Ajato 2000, to navigate shifting riverbeds, strong currents, and ever-changing conditions.

On these multi-day journeys, passenger boats powered by Volvo Penta run around the clock, providing tangible proof of both the uptime and endurance capabilities of our solutions in some of the world’s most demanding waters.
