EVC
EVC – Electronic Vessel Control – is Volvo Penta’s common 
electronic platform for controlling engine and transmission and 
integrating all driver information. EVC is based on CAN-bus 
technology and lets engine, drives, controls and instruments 
quickly exchange information. It constantly supervises all im-
portant functions and takes precautionary measures if needed, 
always keeping you updated in an intuitive way. 
Furthermore, EVC also opens up a lot of possibilities when it 
comes to installing new, previously unthinkable, hardware and 
software features. Joystick driving and docking, Low-speed 
mode, Powertrim assistant and more – are all based on the 
intelligence of EVC.
