I love advancement of technology and when a major player steps up to the plate to execute it (with risk).
Volvo also has a marine division and I'd love to see them come up with a way to migrate the technology. Could finally crack the 10-20k engine service hour mark, so no more $75k overhauls. Would be a gamechanger for the midsize yacht/sport fisher industry. Right now combustion engine overhauls can happen all over the place. 1k hours, 5k hours, because of lots of variable. Do you have an open checkbook service policy, do you let your boat sit too long, do you run it hard too much, did run it at too low rpms, etc.
- slac 9y agoSadly not the same Volvo. Volvo Cars is owned by Geely, a Chinese company. Volvo Trucks is publicly listed, no clue who owns marine division if it still exists..
- moogly 9y agoVolvo Penta is still owned by the Volvo Group. Volvo Cars and Volvo Aero (aerospace: jet and rocket engines) are the two big companies that no longer are part of the Volvo Group.
