VOLVO D7E 290 euro 5, eev

Power and Efficiency

The Volvo D7E290 is a 7.1-litre, in-line six-cylinder diesel engine with a power output of
290 bhp, equipped with a turbocharger and intercooler. The engine meets the EUs exhaust
emission standards according to Euro5 and EEV.
290 bhp, 7.1-litre diesel engine
The Volvo D7E engine is equipped with updated systems for
fuel injection and the latest-generation engine management
system, EMS. Aparticularly wide torque range contributes to
excellent driveability.
Electronic engine management and extremely precise
common rail fuel injection promote accurately controlled
fuel injection. This together with high boost pressure from
the turbocharger, high injection pressure and optimisation
of the fuel injector nozzles in the combustion chamber leads
to efficient combustion.
The efficient combustion process together with after-

treatment of the exhaust gases using SCR (Selective Catalytic

Reduction) technology means this engine is environmentally
optimised, approved according to the Euro 5 emission norms.
What is more, emission levels are below the limit for EEV
(Enhanced Environmentally friendly Vehicle) which imposes
even higher demands, for instance requiring even lower levels
of particulate emissions.
The engine is very smooth and quiet owing to its design.
The timing mechanism is surrounded by a steel panel with
a cast iron cover. The Volvo D7E engine has long service intervals, which contributes to low maintenance costs.

The D7E engine has long service intervals, which contributes to

low maintenance costs.

Efficient combustion is achieved through measures such as high

boost pressure from the turbocharger.

Features
The engine offers a very wide torque range and responds alertly to the accelerator, resulting in excellent driveability.
Electronic engine management EMS with precise fuel injection promotes efficient combustion and low emissions with
the help of SCR technology.
Electronic fuel injection with precise control of the amount of fuel injected and injection timing results in low exhaust emissions
and good fuel economy.
E xhaust treatment with SCR technology means the engine meets the EUs tough environmental standards according to
Euro 5 and EEV.
Disruptions in the exhaust treatment system are shown in the display in the instrument panel.

Approved for todays and tomorrows
environmental standards
Thanks to its high efficiency rating, the D7E has low
emissions. The exhaust gases are further cleaned using
SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology. This means
that an additive known as AdBlue is injected into the exhaust
gases before they pass through an SCR catalytic converter
where the nitrogen oxide is converted into harmless nitrogen
gas and water vapour. As a result, the emissions are so low
that the engine meets all the EUs emission requirements as
per Euro 5 and EEV (Enhanced Environmentally friendly
Vehicle). Since exhaust treatment takes place without
affecting the engines combustion process, this also
means that fuel consumption is not affected.
Precise injection for efficient fuel utilisation
In the D7E, injection takes place using common rail technology. The fuel is injected under high pressure through a
common feed rail. The engines various functions are
controlled electronically with the help of Volvo EMS (Engine
Management System), which means that pressure and timing
can be monitored and regulated with immense precision.
As a result, combustion can always be optimised on the
basis of the current driving conditions, thus contributing
to excellent driveability. The engine control unit is linked
with the vehicles own electronic system. This has the added
advantage of providing advanced scope for diagnostics
and fault-tracing. Disruptions in the exhaust treatment system
are shown in the display in the instrument panel.

Components and lubrication system

dimensioned for long service life
The cylinder block and cylinder head are made of cast iron,
which gives a sturdy yet light framework for the engine. The
engines moving parts are all built to withstand long-term
strain. The lubrication system in the D7E guarantees effective
lubrication and cooling of all the engines systems. The geardriven oil pump ensures secure oil flow under all operating
conditions. A separate oil system for piston cooling guarantees cooling all the way from idling speed. All this together
gives the D7E high reliability and a long service life.
