Scania has introduced its latest marine engine, the 13-liter DI13, designed for both propulsion and auxiliary purposes. Fredrik Järild, Head of Sales Power Solutions, emphasized the engine’s advanced features that aim to enhance operating economy and sustainability at sea. The company’s goal is to meet customer needs by improving fuel efficiency and product performance in challenging marine conditions.
The new 13-liter engine boasts improved fuel efficiency, resulting in a significant reduction in CO2 emissions. Compared to Scania’s previous marine engines, this model offers up to an 8% increase in fuel efficiency at the same power output. This translates to potential fuel savings of up to 6.7 liters of diesel per engine hour at full load. Additionally, the engine has enhanced power capabilities to handle heavy loads while remaining suitable for lighter or hybrid applications.
The versatile nature of the new engine allows for a wide range of applications, including the option to downsize from larger alternatives. It meets current IMO Tier III emission standards and is compatible with biodiesel blends and HVO fuels. These features make the 13-liter DI13 engine a reliable and environmentally-friendly choice for marine operations seeking improved performance and sustainability.
