With the launch of the new Glass Cockpit System, Volvo Penta is fundamentally changing the design of the boat driver’s environment.”

A driver pushes a button with confidence that it all will work. “The driver environment in cars is similar regardless of the car brand.
“The Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit gives the boat operator a similar experience to driving a modern automobile,” said Marcia Kull, Vice President, Marine Sales North America, Volvo Penta of the Americas. It enables a common, ergonomic design – and interface – for the whole dashboard, with push-buttons on the controls and touch-buttons on the screens. The new Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit System is an all-integrated control and monitoring system that gathers all driver information – including warnings and alarms – and displays it on one or more, high-tech displays. Volvo Penta has earned a great reputation for marine engines and drive trains but in fact, electronic advances were behind some of the most impressive developments they showed us in Sweden.Īmong the new products, I was perhaps most taken with the new Glass Cockpit System, which provides centralized control and monitoring of the boat’s engines and drives, integrated with navigation, steering and alarm systems. There were just three journalists from North America, and I was the only one from Canada – very flattering! I was delighted to be invited to Gothenberg, Sweden at the end of June where Volvo Penta hosted an exclusive new product media introduction with a careful selection of approximately 50 marine journalists from 14 different countries including Argentina and Brazil from South America.
