The MTU stand will be showcasing a full-size Series 1600 marine genset. The unit rounds off the MTU genset portfolio which now covers the full performance range from 250 to 2850 kWe. The genset is based on the versatile, robust and fuel-efficient 6-cylinder in-line Type 6R 1600 M20 engine which has demonstrated its benefits in numerous land applications and was now especially developed further as a drive unit for onboard gensets. It produces 269 kWmec at 1500 rpm (50 Hertz) and 323 kWmec at 1800 rpm (60 Hertz).

This latest unit sets new standards for overall operating costs and environmental benefits. Its common-rail injection system and electronic engine control deliver fuel consumption rates below 200 g/kWh as well as extremely low exhaust emissions. The engine meets IMO II and EPA III emissions targets and is correspondingly certificated. To ensure that the engine delivers maximum operational availability, MTU has applied its tried-and-tested preventive maintenance concept that offers longer-than-average maintenance intervals.

In addition, this engine offers a high level of versatility by complying with classification specifications for commercial applications as well as meeting demanding civilian and defence standards for acoustics, shock and magnetic signature performance. Since this engine is manufactured using the same processes employed for larger MTU marine engines it also meets the stringent demands set for Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) by navies and coast guards. MTU offers guaranteed spare parts availability for at least 25 years after delivery.

The unit is currently under development and is scheduled to become available in 2016. This genset allows operators to make full use of the potential offered by Li-ion battery technology and makes a low indiscretion rate possible with significantly reduced charging cycles. Fuel consumption has been considerably reduced in comparison with Series 396, achieving a significant increase in travel range with the same size fuel tank. The genset can also be run in optimized emissions and acoustics mode so that IMO Tier II emissions specifications are met in surface operation.

A cross-sectional model of the latest generation of the successful Series 1163 main propulsion unit can also be viewed on the MTU stand. Available in 12V, 16V and 20V cylinder configurations, the 1163 series covers a performance range from 3,600 to 7,400 kW and is in service throughout the world in applications such as frigates and coast guard vessels. For power-to-weight and power-to-volume performance, this engine is the world champion in its class. The latest version of the engine achieves IMO Tier II emissions targets using in-engine technology only and without exhaust aftertreatment systems. The latest common-rail injection system is one of the factors that made it possible to further improve the already high efficiency of the engine.
