More than 20 years ago, in 1996 the first mtu Series 4000 marine engine was presented at SMM exhibition in Hamburg. Since then, the mtu Series 4000 is trusted in numerous applications. With more than 58,000 Series 4000 engines sold worldwide we gained experience from more than 345,000,000 operating hours which were directly fed into the development of the next generation of our marine workhorses.
This is just as true today, as it was in 1996 when we introduced the first high speed diesel engine with common rail fuel injection. Since 2016, we have the only high-speed diesel engine for hard workboat applications with a power output of up to 4300 kW (5780 hp).
Series 4000 M05 for commercial marine applications is the latest marine engine of the powerful Series 4000 family. When designing the Series 4000 M05 we kept three topics always in our mind: Life-cycle- costs, perfomance and ease of maintenance. We used our legendary IRONMEN engines as a basis but finetuned it with high attention to detail to maximize durability, performance and efficiency. Some examples: we changed the alloy of the piston ring to reduce wear. We also relocated fuel filters to grant optimal servicability.
Additionally the air filters are now integrated in the outline of the engine which makes the Series 4000 M05 even more compact. We used advanced simulation of the combustion process to reduce particulate matter inside the engine which makes the need for an additional DPF redundant. Only SCR is needed to fulfill IMO III and EPA Tier 4 emissions regulations.
