Volvo Penta IPS

Praised by boat owners, the press and boat builders, Volvo Penta IPS has revolutionized the boating industry. Superior to inboard shafts in every vital aspect – handling, onboard comfort and performance.

Today, more than 10,000 IPS units are installed in more than 250 different boat models worldwide. With the IPS1050 and IPS1200, the unique benefits of forward-facing propellers are available for yachts up to 100 feet.

Buyers of motor yachts, performance sports yachts or sport fishing yachts, and other craft with traditional inboard propulsion have an increasing demand for reduced emissions – in particular the carbon footprint – but also for improved handling enhanced onboard comfort, higher speed, and fuel savings.

The Volvo Penta IPS system is the answer, solving all the above along with driving pleasure, reliability and outstanding environmental properties.

Longer cruising range

One major benefit of Volvo Penta IPS is its outstanding efficiency compared to inboard shafts. This can lead to a drastical cut in fuel consumption – a reduction of around 30% at cruising speed.

A 30% reduction in fuel consumption equals an increase in cruising range by over 40%. If a boat with inboard shafts consumes 1000 liters on a specific stretch, Volvo Penta IPS only consumes 700. Those 300 liters you spare lets you travel an extra 40% of the original distance. 

Quite simply, this means you can skip unnecessary refuelling stops and stay out longer at sea. It is also a huge benefit for the environment since the CO2 emissions are kept low.

But enough theory. Let's look at the hard facts. Here are some actual match-ups.

Volvo Penta IPS vs inboard shafts
All tests were conducted with two identical boats. The only thing that differs is the drive system. It is easy to see the advantages with Volvo Penta IPS when it comes to fuel consumption, top speed and cruising range.
