VOLVO PENTA GENSET ENGINE
TAD1032GE
1500 rpm, 292 kW (397 hp)
1800 rpm, 287 kW (390 hp)
Reliable & powerful
The TAD1032GE is a powerful, reliable
and economical Generating Set diesel
built on the dependable in-line six design.
Durability & low noise
Designed for easiest, fastest and most
economical installation. Well-balanced to
produce smooth and vibration-free
operation with low noise level.
To maintain a controlled working
temperature in cylinders and combustion
chambers, the engine is equipped with
piston cooling. The engine is also fitted
with replaceable cylinder liners and valve
seats/guides to ensure maximum
durability and service life of the engine.
Low exhaust emission
The state of the art, high-tech injection
and charging system with low internal
losses contributes to excellent
combustion and low fuel consumption.
The TAD1032GE complies with EPA/ Features
CARB Tier 1 and TA-Luft exhaust – Maintained performance, air temp 40°C, altitude 1000 m
emission regulations. – Tropical cooling system (55°C)
– Guaranteed power output 0 to +2%
– El. Governing (GAC-ACB275)
Easy service & maintenance – Low exhaust emissions
Easily accessible service and – Low noise levels
maintenance points contribute to the – Gen Pac configuration
ease of service of the engine.
