Design Features
The turbocharger group consists of a high-performance turbocharger, a cartridge-type air cooler casing and charge air cooler
The cast charge air cooler casing forms a secure foundation for the turbocharger.
The governor drive
The straight-tooth gearwheel drive is safe and requires no further adjustment.
The turning device
An irreversible gear and an engagement unit en sure simple operation and increased operational safety.
The media duct system
External pipe work has been reduced to a minimum.
Engine block
Firm base for main and camshaft bearings due to inherent rigidity.
Control stand with monitoring components
All the engine performance data can be simply inspected on a new control stand arrangement with reliable, analog displays.
Flex Cam Technology (FCT)
The FCT system is a cornerstone of our emission reduction technology. Characteristic fuel injection and inlet valve timing are load controlled.
Lower valve drive and injection pump drive
Of modular construction, the component is of simple and robust design and boasts increased operational safety because no ad justment work is necessary.
