We are pleased to announce that we have delivered and commissioned a Volvo Penta TAD1385VE Stage V industrial diesel engine for a TGM40 shunting diesel locomotive. The 6-cylinder Volvo Penta TAD1385VE is a powerful and reliable industrial diesel engine designed for off-road applications. The engine has a displacement of 12.78 litres and is part of Volvo Penta’s D13 series, known for its durability and efficiency.

With an impressive power output of 405 kW (551 hp) at 1710 rpm, the TAD1385VE is suitable for demanding industrial tasks, and its design ensures high power and torque even at low engine speeds, increasing its versatility and reliability in various off-highway applications, including construction equipment, agricultural machinery and other heavy-duty industrial applications. Its robust construction and advanced technology make it a reliable choice for operators seeking performance and efficiency.

The TAD1385VE meets the stringent EU Stage V emission standards thanks to optimised Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) technology.
