The D16A470 engines are direct injection, water cooled, 6 cylinder diesel in-line units specially designed for heavy commercial vehicles.
The engine power is 470 hp. with a volume of 16123 cubic meters. see (16 liters). The power index is 29 hp. for 1 liter (1000 cc) volume. This type of engine was launched in January 1993.
The engine is equipped with a reliable and durable cylinder block, an overhead camshaft, and a trouble-free injection system. There are four valves on each of the six cylinders of the motor. The turbocharging system increases the power of these units, and the special design of the heat exchanger, combined with the updated engine management system (EMC-2), has significantly increased the performance and controllability of the Volvo D16A 470 engines.
