Volvo Penta will introduce industrial engines produced locally in India. The company plans to begin production of 5 and 8-litre industrial engines next year.

The company has already been supplying engines for industrial and marine applications.

The 5 and 8-litre engines will be manufactured at VE Powertrain (VEPT) plant at Pithampur near Indore. A new line will be added at the plant exclusively for the Volvo Penta engines.

“The plant in Pithampur is not only one of the most modern engine production facilities in India but by any global standard,” said Volvo Penta’s Senior Vice President, Global Operations and Quality, Peter Hertinge.
