VOLVO PENTA INDUSTRIAL DIESEL

TAD941GE
308 kW (413 bhp) at 1500 rpm, 326 kW (437 bhp) at 1800 rpm, acc. to ISO 3046

The TAD941GE is a powerful, reliable

and economical Generating Set Diesel
Engine built on the dependable Volvo in-
line six design.
Durability & low noise
Designed for the easiest, fastest and
most economical installation. Well bal-
anced to produce smooth and vibra-
tion-free operation with low noise level,
featured with high torque.
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 dura-
bility and service life of the engine.
Operational economy and
Low exhaust emission
The state of the art, high-tech injection
and air charging system with low internal
losses contributes to excellent combus-
tion and low fuel consumption.
The TAD941GE complies with TA-luft
exhaust emission regulations.
Easy service & maintenance
