PTC names power packs in honour of Volvo Penta

Volvo Penta engines are a key part of PTC’s products and the French manufacturer honours them in its hydraulic power packs.

Volvo Penta engines are honoured in PTC’s hydraulic power packs

670 Volvo Penta engines are a key part of PTC’s products and the French manufacturer honours them in its hydraulic power packs.

French-based PTC and Volvo Penta have been collaborating for more than 50 years and have strengthened their relationship with the creation of several hydraulic power packs, including the PTC 650VO.

The power pack is used for pile driving rigs (known as Vibrodrivers), and insofar as the 650 refers to the available hydraulic oil flow, the VO stands for Volvo.

“The diesel engine is such a crucial component that the name of our power packs include the brand of the engine,” says Mathieu Jehanno, PTC’s chief technical officer.

“We renewed our power pack range due to new emissions regulations, and after a lot of research into solutions, we decided to move forwards with Volvo Penta.

“For PTC, it was crucial to have suitable diesel engines for Stage IV and Stage III emissions levels, for highly regulated and non-regulated markets, and to be able to set those engines in the same canopy and preserve the volume of production.”

PTC is part of the 3798 Fayat Group and PTC uses Volvo Penta engines in three of its power packs, including the Stage IV/Tier 4 Final-compliant TAD 1375 VE in the 650VO.
