Volvo Penta Announces Garmin-Powered Glass Cockpit System
Today, in conjunction with Volvo Penta, we announced the Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit System, the
premiere integrated and multi-function solution for Volvo Penta engines and
steering systems. With our reliable
and user-friendly interface coupled with the most pivotal handling and safety
information from Volvo Penta, the Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit System is the ultimate
solution for Volvo Penta propulsion systems and equipped vessels.
“Garmin
and Volvo Penta boast a rich history of providing innovative, useful and
reliable products to the market and this is certainly apparent with the Volvo
Penta Glass Cockpit System,” said Dan Bartel, vice president of worldwide
sales. “This series provides the user-friendliness
and reliability from Garmin and the easy handling and safety features from
Volvo Penta to present a fully integrated system for our customers, ultimately making
for a more enjoyable boating experience.”
“Volvo
Penta is proud to introduce the Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit System, a revolution
in driver environment design, in alliance with Garmin,” said Stefan Carlsson, President,
European region of Volvo Penta. “The advanced, integrated features facilitate
easy, safe and comfortable boating for drivers”.
Offered in
an 8-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch multi-function display or a 15-inch, 17-inch and
19-inch monitor with accompanying black box processor, a Remote Input Device
and SD Card Reader, the Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit System is versatile for
installation in any boat type or location. The Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit System
is built with the all glass, flat-mounted design of our current GPSMAP 8000
Glass Helm Series yet incorporates a
Volvo Penta user interface to Engine Vessel Control (EVC), Volvo Penta’s unique
electronic platform. This is an extension of our GPSMAP 8000 Series that
provides advanced navigational features and caters to all engines worldwide via
standard NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 communication interfaces.
With EVC,
options such as Autopilot, Interceptors, Powertrim Assist and Dynamic
Positioning are integrated into the display and can be controlled and monitored
from the display or via Volvo Penta controls for seamless operation. Autopilot
is built into the display and can be operated through the display or the joystick
controller. With fully functional and
customizable options, the user can decide what diagnostic information is most
important to display and gain access to it immediately. Having an all-in-one
integrated system from Garmin and Volvo Penta gives boat builders, dealers and
end users a turnkey solution making the boating experience easier, more
convenient and enjoyable.
The Volvo
Penta Glass Cockpit System will be exclusively sold through the Volvo Penta distribution
network, while compatible radar, sonar and additional marine network
accessories can be purchased from any Garmin retailer. The Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit System will be
available in the fourth quarter of 2013.
