The D16A470 engines are six-cylinder, water-cooled, direct-injection diesel in-line engines specifically made for large commercial vehicles.
The engine has a 16123 cubic meter capacity and 470 horsepower. Refer to (16 liters). For a volume of one liter (1000 cc), the power index is 29 horsepower. January 1993 saw the introduction of this kind of engine.
The engine has an overhead camshaft, a dependable and long-lasting cylinder block, and a trouble-free injection system. Each of the motor’s six cylinders has four valves. These units’ power is increased by the turbocharging system, and the Volvo D16A 470 engines’ performance and controllability have been greatly improved by the unique heat exchanger design and the upgraded engine management system (EMC-2).
