Abstract

MTU Friedrichshafen is currently working on the development of a family of extremely high-performance diesel engines: the 890 model series. At less than 1 kg/kW, these engines have the best power/weight ratio of any series-produced diesel engine in the world today. The 6-cylinder engine is 590 mm high, 700 mm wide, and 760 mm long. It weighs just 520 kg, but delivers 550 kW (750 HP). Such low power/weight ratios are ideal for engines that drive airportable military wheeled and tracked vehicles.
