Volvo Penta has launched its new Aquamatic D6 480 DPI propulsion package, extending its Aquamatic DPI range.
The new development is more powerful and promises more installation options and a more integrated boating experience than previously.
The package is designed for single, twin, triple or quadruple installations, with scalable options, making it suitable for a range of boats and applications.
“With the D6 480 DPI, we’re further strengthening our Aquamatic DPI range by offering a complete, integrated package that delivers outstanding comfort, performance and onboard flexibility,” said Ludvig Börjesson, product planner at Volvo Penta.

“[It’s] perfect for modern boat owners and commercial marine operators looking for an upgrade, in every sense of the word.”
The new D6 480 DPI package features the company’s fully integrated helm-to-propeller system which harmonises Volvo Penta features such as joystick driving, assisted docking and autopilot, all of which are accessible via the Volvo Penta glass cockpit system.
In addition, Volvo Penta Duoprop technology provides grip, enabling tight turns at speed.
The new Aquamatic package features a sterndrive configuration, which allows for an open transom with extra space at the aft.
Onboard comfort and convenience
A hydraulic clutch provides silent, smooth shifting, low-speed functionality, and electronic steering and a lower center of gravity also increases comfort and safety in rough seas.
“Performance and handling. Onboard comfort and convenience. Increased fuel efficiency. Longer intervals between servicing,” said Martin Jufors, VP of Marine Sales.
“Extended cruising range. Ease of use across the entire lifecycle. Freedom and flexibility in terms of designing and using the stern of the boat.
“From any perspective — marine commercial operator, leisure boater or boat builder — this new Aquamatic DPI package offers exciting possibilities that add value to the experience on the water.”
