Even more power to suit the increased demand of vessels with high payload and speed: with up to 10,000 kW, the robust mtu Series 8000 diesel engine offers the best performance. Thanks to its proven advantages and naval qualifi cation, the mtu Series 8000 is also the ideal partner in worldwide military and civilian use.
The mtu Series 8000 was introduced to meet the demanding needs of maritime industry, offering high power output and exceptional efficiency. Over the last 25 years the mtu Series 8000 has already impressively provided proof of its reliability, with over 350 engines of this type delivered, accumulating together more than 3,000,000 operating hours and in numerous missions. The compact propulsion engine impresses with its outstanding power-to-weight ratio and unlimited low load operation.
Over 3,000,000 operational hours
Up to 10 MW of power
Up to 96,000 hours between major overhaul in some cases
Available in two different cylinder variants
All systems are designed for maximum reliability and availability.
The Series 8000 engines stand out for their low life-cycle costs and particularly low fuel consumption thanks to the perfectly matched components.
Exceptional availability of the Series 8000 engines is guaranteed by long service intervals and easy handling in maintenance and repair.
Even more economical in a system: with up to 10,000 kW power per engine, an all-diesel arrangement with Series 8000 can be installed – replacing combined propulsion systems with gas turbines (CODAG, CODOG).
For 25 years, the mtu Series 8000 engine has set the standard in marine propulsion, exemplifying power, performance, and reliability. This engine is celebrated for its ability to drive a diverse range of large high-performance vessels, including high-speed ferries, naval ships, and luxury Mega-yachts.
With its enormous power, it was really a game changer back then, because it allowed Shipyards to design and build even bigger and faster vessels than previously possible.
Engineered to meet the demanding needs of maritime operations, it offers exceptional power density and dependable performance.
Throughout the last 25 years, the Series 8000 has enhanced its reputation for excellence. We invite you to join us in celebrating this remarkable journey.
