Volvo Penta D6-340 – Inboard Diesel Engine 340 HP
Mid-size motor yachts navigate offshore passages behind a Volvo Penta D6-340 marine diesel, which generates 340 HP from an aftercooled 5.5L inline-6 block at 3400 RPM, driving HS85A or ZF gears with 150 Amps charging at 1521 lbs.
- 5.5L displacement produces heavy displacement thrust
- Common rail injection stops transom soot staining
- 150-Amp alternator maintains battery bank reserves
- Water-cooled manifold reduces ambient engine compartment heat
With 340 hp at 3,400 rpm, the Volvo Penta D6-340 uses a turbocharged and aftercooled 5.5L inline six-cylinder diesel configuration with common rail fuel injection. The supplied specifications identify EN 590 or ASTM D975 diesel, a 17.5:1 compression ratio, and hydraulic marine gear. EVC controls, an SAE 4 flywheel housing, and HS85A or ZF-compatible drive arrangements define the listed propulsion interfaces.
The engine is supplied with a stated 690 kg dry weight, 12V 150-amp or 24V 80-amp alternator options, and heat-exchanger cooling holding 16L coolant. A water-cooled manifold forms part of the exhaust system, while wet-sump pressure-feed lubrication uses 20L oil capacity. Listed emissions ratings include EPA Tier 3, IMO II, and RCD II.
Why Choose the Volvo Penta D6-340 Marine Diesel Engine
The D6-340 marine diesel engine combines 340 hp at 3,400 rpm with turbocharging, aftercooling, and common rail injection in a 5.5L six-cylinder layout. Buyers can assess its EVC controls, hydraulic marine gear, HS85A or ZF-compatible drive options, and dual-voltage alternator choices. The supplied 16L coolant capacity, 20L oil capacity, and listed emissions ratings provide further installation data.
Warranty and Support
Warranty coverage should be confirmed against the current Volvo Penta warranty policy applicable to the exact engine, purchase market, installation, and operating use.
