Eco-Flex Marine Power: mtu Diesel Engines

mtu diesel engines provide reliable solutions for all of your marine needs.

mtu diesel engines cut emissions and adapt to all marine needs. Engine rooms have limited space, so mtu's airless SCR system is compact and easy to maintain. It has easy-access doors for catalyst changes, plus integrated pipes and dosing units. This lets shipyards use flexible piping, saving space for exhaust treatment. A closed-loop system stops ammonia leaks in all conditions.

EGR tech needs clean fuel. Fuel with over 15 ppm sulfur makes acid, damaging engines over time. As ships sail worldwide, mtu prefers SCR for reliability and safety. SCR works with lower-quality fuels.

mtu Series 2000: Proven Technology

The mtu Series 2000 is a market leader in high-speed ferries, offering lightweight, compact designs ideal for small engine rooms. These engines deliver low fuel consumption across their performance range (720–1,939 kW / 966–2,600 bhp) and are rated for unrestricted operations.

Power, fuel efficiency, and reliability define the mtu Series 2000. Over six generations, it has proven its excellence in high-load, intermittent-duty vessels like high-speed ferries, SAR, patrol boats, wind farm service vessels, and CTVs (crew transfer vessels).

The latest mtu Series 2000 features optimized components, intelligent integration, and perfect matching for superior efficiency.

Built on a legacy of excellence, the 12V 2000 96Z delivers 1,634 kW / 2,222 mhp with higher power density and optimized installation space. Compared to its predecessor (12V 2000 M96X), it maintains a refined power-to-volume ratio with minimal changes in weight and dimensions.
