Engine Volvo D12A420

The Volvo D12A420 engine is a 12-liter in-line 6-cylinder turbo diesel common-rail engine. Fits on FH12 and FM12. Diesel engines D12A420 are a further continuation of the successful and well-proven 4-valve technology in terms of specific pressure and injection power parameters. This model uses an electronic control system for the engine operation, which allows you to optimize the actions of the fuel system.

The Volvo D12A units are turbocharged to increase power. The redesigned heat exchanger, combined with a completely new injection system as well as the EMC-2 engine management system, has increased the performance and control of the engines to a level suitable for the most demanding operating conditions. Volvo D12A420 engines operate with six cylinders arranged in a single row to facilitate repair and service work.
