With 480 hp at 3,700 rpm, the Volvo Penta D6-480 uses a 5.5L inline six-cylinder diesel configuration with a turbocharger, supercharger, and aftercooler. Common rail injection, a 17.5:1 compression ratio, and EN 590 diesel define the stated fuel-system arrangement. The engine uses hydraulic transmission with an HS85A shaft-drive configuration, SAE 4 flywheel housing, and EVC electronic steering compatibility.
The 625 kg dry engine uses a 12V 150-amp alternator, heat-exchanger cooling holding 16L coolant, and a water-cooled riser for the stated exhaust configuration. Pressure-feed lubrication uses 20L oil capacity. Listed EPA Tier 3 and IMO II ratings, along with the 1-5-3-6-2-4 firing order, provide further technical context.
