With an overhead camshaft, electronic fuel injection, and a single cylinder head, the Volvo D13A480 is an intercooled, turbocharged engine.
The D13A480 offers outstanding performance, excellent fuel economy, and high dependability. Because the camshaft drive is situated at the back of the engine, vibration is lessened and a power take-off can be installed there. To guarantee dependable engine operation, the cylinder block and cylinder head are constructed of cast iron.
