Extend the life of your investment with an mtu remanufactured engine. Remanufacturing restores engines to proven operating condition, helping customers maximise uptime and return assets to service with confidence.
Every engine undergoes a comprehensive inspection, precision rebuild, and rigorous testing process using genuine mtu parts and strict quality standards. Thoroughly validated before returning to service, mtu remanufactured engines help restore performance, extend service life, and keep critical equipment operating at its best.
Designed for maximum reliability, low fuel consumption, low emissions, and long service internals, mtu’s range of Series 2000 and Series 4000 engines are used widely across Australia and New Zealand in various applications such as healthcare, data centres, airports, manufacturing plants, and independent power stations.
Designed to deliver continuous, economical, and reliable power, mtu gas-powered generator sets provide a future-ready energy solution for a wide range of industries. Utilising natural gas, biogas, and other gases, they incorporate advanced technology for combined heat and power (CHP) and combined heat, power and cooling (CHPC) applications.
Available in outputs ranging from 776 kWe to 2,547 kWe, mtu gas generator sets offer high efficiency and low emissions. Selected Series 4000 models also support hydrogen blending, helping customers further reduce emissions while maintaining reliable power generation.
The new Series 1163 M04 Engine maintains its best-in-class reputation by keeping the features that made its predecessor so successful all the while improving upon the economy of the engine. This engine still offers a better power to weight ratio, smaller design and superior acceleration behaviour when compared to its competitors, but now comes with improved fuel economy, lower lifetime costs and is still IMO II emission regulation compliant.
The latest generation of the series 2000 is specifically designed to offer outstanding acceleration and performance. With over 55,000 mtu Series 2000 engines sold worldwide, discover an engineering masterpiece in an extremely compact package that offers excellent agility, power, and manoeuvrability.
mtu‘s Series 4000 M05 marine engine comes in a diverse range of options including 8V, 12V, and 16V configurations. With low life-cycle costs, high performance, and ease of maintenance, the Series 4000 engine delivers durability that maintains its best-in-class performance, fuel consumption, and reliability. With over 40,000 marine engines sold worldwide, discover why the mtu Series 4000 is the preferred choice.
A variant of the Series 4000, the M05-N offers diesel performance with gas benefits. Designed with a multipoint gas injection system to enhance the engine’s dynamic acceleration behaviour and double-walled gas fuel lines to ensure no need for additional safety precautions. Our pure gas engine matches the performance and safety of the regular Series 4000. Additionally, the use of gas instead of diesel means lower emissions and a better overall climate footprint.
mtu‘s Series 8,000 engine comes in 16V as well as the classic 20V configuration and produces 10,000kW of power. This compact propulsion engine impresses with its outstanding power-to-weight ratio and unlimited low load operation.
With immense masses, extreme temperatures and unimaginable tasks, mining has its own laws and challenges. To conquer these, mtu mining engines are powerful, strong, hard, tough, and persevering.
Offering solutions for all emissions requirements as well as a full power range from 75 to 3,000kW (101 to 4,023bhp), mtu engines provide exceptional efficiency, absolute reliability, and uncompromising operational availability, all while setting the standard for what a diesel engine must deliver in both above ground and underground mining applications. Furthermore, low life cycle costs due to effective operation, low fuel consumption, long TBO intervals characterize mtu engines, just as much as their environmentally friendly operation.
Mining vehicles powered by mtu engines deliver higher productivity through being able to carry larger loads and handle steeper terrain than the competition.
