Volvo Penta unveils groundbreaking electric IPS marine propulsion range

Volvo Penta continues to push the boundaries of sustainable innovation with the launch of its new fully electric marine propulsion range, built on the proven Volvo Penta IPS platform. This is another milestone in the company’s path to deliver zero emission vehicles and vessels on land and at sea. Initially developed for the marine commercial sector, this new Volvo Penta IPS electric range includes five drivelines, aimed to deliver enhanced efficiency, precision and flexibility, while reinforcing Volvo Penta’s commitment to productivity, safety and sustainability.

A new chapter in electric marine propulsion

The Volvo Penta IPS Electric (E) range is a powerful complement to the hybrid electric (H) solutions introduced earlier in 2024. Together, they offer customers a broad selection of ‚fit-for-purpose‘ solutions tailored to diverse operational needs and duty cycles. In this new, fully electric marine propulsion offer, the electric motor is directly coupled to the Volvo Penta IPS driveline and available in twin, triple, or quadruple configurations. This opens possibilities for a broader range of vessels to harness the core benefits of the Volvo Penta IPS system – such as Electronic Vessel Control (EVC), forward-facing propulsion, and outstanding maneuverability.

“We have built up strong expertise based on 20 years of efficient operation with more than 40,000 Volvo Penta IPS drivelines in operation, as well as recent successful market pilots in marine electrification,” says Anna Müller, President of Volvo Penta. “Our aim with this new range is to deliver a plug and play electric propulsion solution, keeping the uniqueness of our core competence, but also designed to scale together with 3rd party integrators.”
