    Excavators, Wheel Loaders, Bulldozers

    Our diesel engines for wheel loaders offer you the dynamics you need for shorter load cycles through full load performance. Even with maximum loading, our engines ensure quick acceleration and a speedy ride – even uphill. As dredger drives, they are specially constructed to meet the demands of quick loading cycles.

    1.First-class performance for frequent load changes, as well as under full loads.

    2.Quick loading cycles, low consumption, and long service intervals for low operating costs.

    At the same time, they can generate maximum tear-out and breakaway force. Our robust drives, such as the Series 1300, also prove themselves as engines for bulldozers, earthmovers, and crawlers. They stand out under full loads as well as under frequent load changes due to their excellent load response capabilities – perfect qualifications for economical work.

     

    Roadbuilding Machines

    The virtually indestructible mechanics of our diesel engines, designed to meet the extreme demands of roadbuilding vehicles and machines, e.g. the Series 1100, get to work with high power density. Even high ambient temperatures and continuous full loads in multi-shift operation are no problem. With a variety of accessories, our engines can be optimally adjusted to suit all requirements. That is why robust MTU drives are used in hot and cold recyclers, asphalt cutters, ground stabilizers, rollers, graders, and many other roadbuilding machines.

    Powerful Engines for Haul Trucks

    Our diesel engines for large haul trucks and dumpers in tar sands and opencast coal mines, and for the transport of copper, gold, iron ore or the mining of diamonds guarantee maximum performance, higher load capacities and payloads, as well as minimal costs per ton of material moved. Our diesel engines for heavy transport vehicles, like from the Series 2000 or 4000 are specially designed for 24/7 continuous use in opencast mines.Even when operating at full load they offer a huge amount of torque from low engine speeds for maximum power, allowing the trucks to haul weight of up to 810 tons up steep inclines – regardless of altitude, temperature or extreme dust.

    1.Highest performance, high torque and enormous power even at low engine speeds.

    2.Maximal reliability and minimal downtime thanks to a proven drive concept.

    In coal, tar sand, iron, copper and rock mining our diesel engines must perform perfectly under the most extreme environmental conditions. That’s why we test our units in searing heat, arctic cold and dust even before we begin production. Coupled with our longstanding, constantly improved and proven drive concepts, this means that we can assure the reliability of our engines and a profitable operation of the vehicles. We value economy in all other respects as well. The maintenance-friendly construction of MTU diesel engines offers even more benefits with their low-maintenance operation and long service intervals. They minimize downtime and ensure that your vehicles are ready to go again in record time. On top of that comes the efficient use of fuel thanks to intelligent engine management, a second-generation common rail injection system and optimal combustion. Our diesel engines are available in accordance with all emissions regulations.

     

    Excavators and Wheel Loaders

    For demanding mining applications, MTU offers you a wide range of diesel engines for heavy-duty continuous use. Our MTU Series 4000 power packs are easily able to run at their limit with practically no breaks. They are specially designed to withstand the typically fast and material-stressing load alternation cycles that large mining excavators and wheel loaders generate, and guarantee full performance all the time with their excellent transient load characteristics.This means that deep load and folding excavators with MTU mining engines have the shortest load cycles even when operating at maximum load. Wheel loaders with MTU engines also have no trouble at all with 100% load performance.

    1.Highest performance, even at full load and under constant load alterations that are typical for an excavator. Low mining costs.

    2.Highest availability and minimal downtime through a proven engine concept. optimal drive concepts.

    In iron, copper, coal, tar sand and rock mining, our diesel engines need to function around the clock in the most extreme conditions without fault. That’s why we constantly test our engines in the blistering heat, ice cold and in the dust. Together with our longstanding and proven engine concepts that we continuously refine and improve, these tests guarantee the reliable and profitable operation of vehicles. We value economy in all other respects as well. The maintenance-friendly construction of MTU engines offers even more benefits with their low-maintenance operation and long service intervals. They minimize downtime and ensure that your vehicles are ready to go again in record time. On top of that comes the efficient use of fuel in all MTU engines with their second-generation common rail injection systems and ADEC (Advanced Diesel Engine Control) intelligent engine management. We also offer solutions for all emissions regulations.

     

    Mining Engines  / Underground

    Our engines for drilling equipment and underground construction machines such as wheel loaders and other loading and transport vehicles are specially optimized in terms of emissions for underground use. The most modern injection methods and combustion processes optimized to the smallest detail provide for first-rate exhaust values that do not unnecessarily tax underground ventilation systems. MTU diesel engines from the Series 900 or S60 conform to the strict US underground 30 CFR Part 7 regulations,amongst others, thanks to common-rail injection systems, as well as exhaust gas recirculation (AGR) and SCR exhaust gas post treatment. Nevertheless, this does not affect the performance: Our engines for underground vehicles are specially designed for tough, 24/7 use and develop enormous amounts of torque from low engine speeds – regardless of temperature, dust or moisture.

    1.Low operating costs through long maintenance intervals and low fuel consumption. Highest performance even under constantly extreme conditions.

    A second generation common rail injection system and an intelligent engine management guarantee the efficient use of fuel by our engines. Further benefits come from the maintenance-friendly construction of all MTU diesel engines for low maintenance operation with long service intervals. They minimize downtime and ensure that your underground machines are back to work again in record time.
