mtu Series 8000
The powerful high-speed engine meeting maximum demands.
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.
Over the last 20 years the mtu Series 8000 has already impressively provided proof of its reliability, with over 300 engines of this type delivered, accumulating together more than 2,000,000 operating hours and in numerous missions. The compact propulsion engine impresses with its outstanding power-toweight ratio and unlimited low load operation.
The spirit of power
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).
As a full-range supplier, we offer our customers a comprehensive range – whether diesel engines, gas turbines, complete propulsion systems, on-board power supply or ship-automation: We customize the systems to your needs. Furthermore, as a system supplier, we offer complete service solutions for the entire product life-cycle. Based on our many years of know-how, high-quality propulsion systems are tailor-made to meet any demand.

Encapsulation and Mounting
Sound encapsulation and engine mountings for marine engines involves the strategic implementation of soundproofing materials and design modifications to reduce noise emissions from the engine compartment.
This process aims to contain the noise at its source, preventing it from
escaping and propagating through the water and surrounding environment. Depending on the application different targets can be achieved such as raised passenger comfort in yachts to enhanced tactical advantages for frigates based on the lower noise levels. mtu engines can optional be equipped with enhanced mounting and sound encapsulation technologies and contracted sound levels via our internal engineering experts.
Propulsion solutions
We are a leader in the field of propulsion systems with low magnetic and acoustic signatures, allowing us to reduce the magnetism of all ferromagnetic parts with our own method to a stable minimum.
