The Volvo Penta TAD1140‑1142VE series is a lineup of heavy‑duty, off‑road diesel engines built on Volvo Group’s proven inline 6‑cylinder platform. With a displacement of 10.84 liters, these 4‑stroke engines deliver rated power from 235 kW to 285 kW and strong maximum torque up to 1938 Nm at low engine speed, ensuring responsive performance, low noise, and optimized fuel consumption.

Designed for reliability and durability, the engines feature a cast‑iron cylinder block, wet replaceable cylinder liners, overhead camshaft, and four valves per cylinder. The advanced fuel system uses electronic high‑pressure unit injectors, combined with an electronically controlled waste‑gate turbocharger for stable and efficient operation. The engine is equipped with a full‑flow lubrication system, efficient belt‑driven cooling, and a comprehensive Engine Management System (EMS) with CAN SAE J1939 connectivity for precise control, diagnostics, and monitoring.
Notably, the exhaust reduction system operates without EGR, while maintaining compliance with UNECE Reg 96 Power band E (EU Stage II); TAD1140VE and TAD1141VE are also certified for MSHA / CANMET. The engine offers high tolerance to sulfur‑containing fuel, consistent footprint across emission standards, and easy access to service points for simplified maintenance.
With compact structure, straightforward installation, low operational cost, and long uptime, the TAD1140‑1142VE series provides durable, economical, and flexible power solutions for a wide range of off‑road equipment.
