With an overhead camshaft, four valves per cylinder, and unit injectors, the D11C330 engine is a six-cylinder in-line engine with a displacement of 10.8 liters and an output of 330 horsepower. The engine satisfies the Euro 4 standard’s EU emission requirements.
The D11C is a lightweight, powerful, and cost-effective engine. As a result, it is appropriate for the transportation of liquid, bulk cargo, long-distance regional transportation, and light building materials—that is, in situations where low fuel consumption and performance are crucial.

The engine’s basic design is identical to that of the larger Volvo engines. An overhead camshaft, four valves per cylinder, and a precise electronically controlled injection system are all features of this tough and dependable engine.
A large torque range offers excellent driving characteristics. Because the timing mechanism is at the back of the engine, vibration is lessened and a power take-off can be installed there.
Engine Benefits
- maximum torque for superior driving performance across a broad rpm range; economy;
- conforms to the Euro 4 standard;
- oil change once a year when using VDS4 oil or every 100,000 kilometers;
- high engine braking force using the optional Volvo engine brake (VEB);
- an optional rear-mounted power takeoff with a high power output;
- ventilation in the closed crankcase (optional).
