Dependable and high-performance

The auxiliary engine’s durable design, with a ladder frame bolted to the engine block, ensures dependable performance in various applications. Its rigid in-line cylinder block with generously dimensioned crankshaft bearings, a water-cooled exhaust manifold, and a twin-entry turbo contribute to delivering high engine performance.

Designed for easy installation and service

Designed to withstand high exhaust back pressure, this auxiliary engine is suited for installations that require additional third-party emission control equipment, and its installation is straightforward. Its accessible design facilitates service and maintenance.

Improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions

By controlling the unit injectors and fuel distribution, the EMS electronic management system optimizes the fuel-air mixture, which enhances combustion. This results in improved thermal efficiency, enhanced fuel efficiency, and lower exhaust emissions.

Optimized load-taking capability

Together, the twin-entry turbo with pulse charging and the efficient speed control system provide optimized load-taking capability.

Electronic control systems

Two options for on-board electronic control: Marine Commercial Control System offers a flexible and scalable control and monitoring solution for classified installations.
