The Development of a High Performance Diesel Engine Family for Special Applications

In this paper the development of a high performance diesel engine family for special applications is described. Based on a range of truck diesel engines which are produced in large volumes, the high performance engines have been developed utilizing the maximum number of parts of the truck engines. With 2.15 dm³ capacity per cylinder a power of up to 100 hp/cylinder (73.5 kW/cylinder) has been achieved.
