Investments in new technologies need to pay for themselves as quickly as possible, and for our marine customers, for instance, create an advantage over the competitors. At the same time, the dates are already fixed on which the emissions limits set by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) will come into force. At a dynamic moment like this, it is essential to offer shipping companies the right product at the right time. Customers are already very interested in alternative propulsion systems for their ships. Gas, for example, is one fuel that is growing swiftly in popularity in the shipping industry. MAN Diesel & Turbo is already well-equipped for this with its dual-fuel engines. Dual-fuel engines can be powered with both liquid fuels and gas. There also are innovative retrofit models available in which engines that are already in operation can be converted to more modern technology.

In the power plant sector, customers are increasingly asking for gas-powered engines, and our dual-fuel engines are again coming to the rescue. However, MAN Diesel & Turbo also has the innovative PGI gas engine in its portfolio. Thanks to MAN Diesel & Turbo’s innovative strength, we are able to not only comply with the guidelines of the World Bank, but also to satisfy those of all the legal regulations specific to countries across the world.

Above-average R&D investment is the reason why MAN Diesel & Turbo and its products will still be at the vanguard of development in large-bore diesel technology in the future.
