VOLVO PENTA INBOARD DIESEL
MD2020
3-cylinder, freshwater-cooled marine diesel engine
Crankshaft power* 13.8 kW (19 hp)
* Crankshaft power according to ISO 8665
The MD2020 is a marine engine of
advanced design manufactured from
quality components and designed to
fulfil customer requirements.
Service Life
The MD2020 is fitted with freshwater
cooling as standard. This reduces
internal corrosion and enables the
engine to maintain a consistent and
optimal working temperature under all
conditions.
To avoid galvanic corrosion the
engine is equipped with the unique
electrical isolation between engine
and transmission.
Comfort
Smooth running with very low vibration levels results from a dynamically
balanced design incorporating a flywheel of high rotating mass and high
efficiency rubber isolation.
The engines high torque provides
excellent operating characteristics to
aid maneuvering, particularly in confined spaces.
Additional on board comfort features are available from an extensive
range of matched accessories.
Environment
An advanced combustion system increases fuel burning efficiency to minimize noxious exhaust emissions and
enhance overall enjoyment of boating.
The MD2020 is certified according to
BSO II, SAV and US/EPA.
Transmissions
Six matched transmission options are
available, each built for durability and
smooth running.
