The 16-liter Volvo D16G750 is a potent six-cylinder in-line engine with an intercooler and turbocharger. Direct fuel injection is used in the D16G 750 engine. It makes use of an overhead camshaft, a single cylinder head, four valves per cylinder, and electronically controlled unit injectors.
The engine’s rear is where the gas distribution mechanism is situated. Additionally, the Volvo engine has an intercooler and a turbocharger as usual. The compression ratio of the D16G750 is 17.3:1. An 85-ton road train can be transported by a truck equipped with this engine.
There are two options for the D16G 750 engine’s open crankcase ventilation system:
- basic version with an oil separator;
- environmentally friendly design with an oil separator and a gas centrifuge that requires no maintenance to reduce the amount of oil in exhaust fumes.

The cylinder head of this engine is shared rather than separate. It has an amazing 16.1-liter capacity and generates 3550 Nm of thrust and 750 horsepower. Furthermore, the “ULSD” standard (diesel fuel with ultra-low sulfur content, the maximum sulfur content is no more than 10 parts per million) establishes explicit standards for diesel fuel quality.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology is used to purify the exhaust gases in addition to the ideal combustion process. Prior to the exhaust gases entering the SCR catalytic converter, AdBlue is injected into it. AdBlue greatly lowers dangerous emissions by reacting with nitrogen oxides. The D16G 750 engine is approved in compliance with the Euro 5/EEV emission standard because of this system.
The Volvo D16G750 engine has overhead camshafts and single cylinder heads. The EMS engine management system allows the electronically controlled unit injectors to deliver injection pressures up to 2,400 bar with precise timing.
The D16G 750 engine satisfies all applicable noise emission regulations. To reduce noise and vibration, hydraulic vibration dampers are installed on the crankshaft and camshaft. A tiny amount of fuel is injected prior to the injection of the main dose in order to achieve even more noise absorption at low engine speeds.
Benefits of the Volvo D16G750 engine
- maximum torque across a broad range of engine speeds;
