Development progresses with high power density engines for light combat vehicles

Article Abstract:

MTU Friedrichshafen, the leading producer of military diesels, has developed the 890 series of high power density engines that are considerably lighter and smaller in relation to their power than all earlier combat vehicle diesels. Due to their efficiency, engines of the 890 series have become candidates for powering US Future Combat Systems (FCS) and UK Future Rapid Effect System (FRES) platforms.
