Series 8000 engines from Tognum subsidiary MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH are now available with an output of 10MW. MTU announced the development to mark the Euronaval naval defense exhibition in Paris from October 22 to 26. Previously, the 20-cylinder engine had a maximum output of 9,100kW. The IMO Tier II-compliant unit demonstrated its increased power and reliability during a project-specific endurance run over 1,500 hours under tropical conditions. Series 8000 engines now cover a power range from 7,200kW to 10,000kW enabling MTU to offer economically efficient, diesel-based propulsion solutions producing up to 40MW per vessel.
