MTU Series 4000 celebrates twenty years of success

摘要

This month's SMM show marked the 20th anniversary of the launch of the MTU Series 4000 engine. Since its launch at the event in 1996, more than 37,000 of the engines have been sold worldwide. Series 4000 diesel engines-the first of their kind to be fitted with common rail injection as standard-were developed jointly by MTU Friedrichshafen and Detroit Diesel Corporation, and since its launch the Series 4000 has become MTU's biggest selling engine in production. The series is based on the principle of a robust basic engine available in a variety of cylinder versions so that it can be used in marine and energy applications, and in off-highway vehicles.
