twd1645ge

16.12 liter, in-line 6 cylinder

TWD1645GE is a reliable, powerful and compact in-line 6

cylinder diesel engine. It´s designed to power a wide range • High power density
of stand-by and prime power generator sets.
This 16 liter diesel engine utilizes dual-stage turbochargers • High fuel efficiency
and heavy-duty steel pistons to provide excellent power
density. • Low exhaust emissions - fulfills UNECE REG 96 Stage
It features a proven combustion technology with high-
pressure unit injectors, resulting in high fuel efficiency and low (equal to EU stage II)
exhaust emission levels.
• Compact and low weight design
The engine also features a compact and low weight design
that is well-balanced, providing smooth operation with low
• Switchable between 1500/1800 rpm
noise and vibration. It´s designed for easily accessible service
points.
• Suitable for a wide range of applications
A wide range of options is available, including a heavy-duty
frame, cooling package and air-filter that will suit a variety of
installations.
