The ENGINE VOLVO PENTA D6-480 I is a high-performance inboard marine diesel engine designed for large cruising boats, offshore fishing vessels, sport yachts, and commercial marine craft that require powerful propulsion with dependable efficiency. As the top-power model in Volvo Penta’s D6 engine series, it combines high-pressure common-rail fuel injection, turbocharging, and advanced electronic engine control to deliver strong marine torque and reliable performance.

Producing 480 horsepower (353 kW) at around 3700 rpm, the engine uses a 5.5-liter inline six-cylinder diesel configuration engineered specifically for marine propulsion.
This engine is designed to provide strong torque at low engine speeds, allowing vessels to accelerate quickly and maintain efficient cruising speeds under heavy loads.

Because of its high power output and compact installation footprint for its class, the D6-480 I is widely used in performance cruisers, offshore sport-fishing boats, patrol vessels, and light commercial workboats.
