THE ALL-NEW
mtu SERIES 1600 GX1

The new mtu Series 1600 GX1 for power generation applications boasts the highest power-to-size ratio in its class and boosts the output to 996 kWm.

Unprecedented power density – up to 49% more power

With its outstanding power-to-size ratio, the 12V1600 Gx1 is the most powerful engine with the highest power density in its power range. With its four power rating definitions and eight new power ratings, the 12V1600 Gx1 provides reliable power for a wide range of applications, from airports to data centers, hospitals, public or commercial buildings as well as prime power applications such as construction sites or remote prime power plants.  

On top of that, the entire mtu Series 1600 is approved for synthetic and renewable fuels according to EN15940, such as HVO, which reduces the CO2 emissions by up to 90%.

Highest power density and full fexibility for various genset applications

Industry-leading load factors up to 85% for emergency standby power and up to 100% for data center power ratings

Approved for synthetic fuels according to EN15940 (e.g. HVO) for up to 90% CO2 reduction

Best-in-class low load operation for hybrid applications in combination with renewables such as solar photovoltaics

Resulting from holistic development — A fundamentally re-designed engine platform

The mtu 12V1600 Gx1 is the result of a holistic development program bundling all of Rolls-Royce’s core competencies in R&D, thermodynamics, analytics, simulation and validation from more than 100 years of engine development experience.  Increasing the power output of an existing engine platform by up to 49% while maintaining our highest quality and performance standards was an ambitious goal. Yet, that’s exactly what we did with the new Series 1600 Gx1. To do so, the mtu Series 1600 engine platform was fundamentally redesigned, optimized and reinforced to achieve something unique in its class.

With its four power rating definitions and eight new power ratings, the 12V1600 Gx1 provides reliable power for a wide range of applications, from airports to data centers, hospitals, public or commercial buildings as well as prime power applications such as construction sites or remote prime power plants.  

On top of that, the entire mtu Series 1600 is approved for synthetic and renewable fuels according to EN15940, such as HVO, which reduces the CO2 emissions by up to 90%.

Highest power density and full fexibility for various genset applications

Industry-leading load factors up to 85% for emergency standby power and up to 100% for data center power ratings

Approved for synthetic fuels according to EN15940 (e.g. HVO) for up to 90% CO2 reduction

Best-in-class low load operation for hybrid applications in combination with renewables such as solar photovoltaics

Resulting from holistic development — A fundamentally re-designed engine platform

The mtu 12V1600 Gx1 is the result of a holistic development program bundling all of Rolls-Royce’s core competencies in R&D, thermodynamics, analytics, simulation and validation from more than 100 years of engine development experience.  Increasing the power output of an existing engine platform by up to 49% while maintaining our highest quality and performance standards was an ambitious goal. Yet, that’s exactly what we did with the new Series 1600 Gx1. To do so, the mtu Series 1600 engine platform was fundamentally redesigned, optimized and reinforced to achieve something unique in its class.
