Junttan Selects Volvo Penta as Engine Partner in Next-Generation Equipment

 


Junttan, the Finnish foundation equipment specialist, has partnered with Volvo Penta to power its next-generation machines – starting with the new DR5 drilling rig – uniting shared values, technical strength, and a long-term vision for reliable, future-ready solutions.

The DR5 drilling rig marks the launch of a new chapter for Junttan, as the company introduces its new-generation product line powered by Volvo Penta engines. The DR5 is the first model to feature the high-performance Stage V/Tier 4f Volvo Penta TAD1385VE, a powerful engine with a compact design that delivers 405 kW (543 hp), aimed to meet the demands of specialist equipment with rigorous uptime and reliability requirements.

“For us, this is a strategic choice for the long term,” said Tomi Voutilainen, director of product management and engineering at Junttan. “Volvo Penta’s offering doesn’t just meet our technical needs today — it has the range, flexibility, and development paths to support where we’re going tomorrow.”

Junttan began its search for a new powertrain partner in 2020 to future-proof its equipment for modern job site demands. After evaluating the market, Volvo Penta was selected for its extended maintenance intervals, compact engine design, scalable power options, and robust global service network – but just as importantly, for a cultural fit that emphasized agility, transparency, and shared values.

With equipment operating in remote locations around the world, Junttan relies on robust, easy-to-maintain engines supported by a strong global network – making Volvo Penta a natural fit. All new-generation products, including pile driving rigs, drilling rigs, and hydraulic power packs, will be designed to maximize efficiency, extend service intervals, and reduce total cost of ownership.

Both companies share a deep-rooted commitment to sustainability and innovation. Junttan’s DR5 drill rig continues that legacy with a 20-tonne weight reduction over its predecessor and compatibility with 100% renewable HVO fuel.
