Volvo Penta has announced that its D5 off-road engine will power J&S Manufacturing’s full product line, including its portfolio of mining equipment in North America, and will be supported by distribution partner Wajax, offering local resources and technical assistance for all Volvo Penta product and service needs.

J&S, a Walden company, is deploying Volvo Penta’s Tier 4 Final/Stage V dual-certification engines, which are designed to help reduce carbon emissions and support improved environment management.

Volvo Penta’s engines are specially suited for mining applications and certified by the Mine Safety and Health Administration and CanmetMINING, government agencies for the US and Canada. In addition, the D5 dual-certification engines are engineered to meet Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V standards and support the reduction of harmful emissions during operations. When integrated into J&S’s power equipment, these engine solutions are said to enhance fuel efficiency and durability, leading to extended operational uptime and lower total cost of ownership.

“As a trusted partner to a growing number of off-road manufacturers, we need to help them deliver on the needs of today while simultaneously preparing for the transition to a net-zero future,” said Volvo Penta industrial sales: Americas VP Darren Tasker. “Our partnership with J&S Manufacturing provides mining customers with a platform to make meaningful progress – reducing emissions and enhancing efficiency while also benefiting from a collaborative service approach.” 

Volvo Penta’s D5 Tier 4 Final and Stage V engines are built to perform in demanding mining conditions, providing robust construction and consistent power output to support uptime. Service intervals of up to 1 000 hours help optimise efficiency and safeguard productivity. All Volvo Penta off-road engines are designed based on the same platform, to simplify all processes, from installation to service and the acquisition of spare parts.
