MAN Engines unveiled the MAN D4276 to the public at Agritechnica 2019. The completely redeveloped diesel engine with 142 mm bore and 170 mm stroke has a displacement of 16.2 litres and produces an impressive 581 kW of power. The power pack weighs in at just 1,280 kg and sets new standards: Not only is it the most powerful inline six-cylinder engine for agricultural machines that MAN Engines has ever developed, it also has the highest power density in its displacement class. MAN Engines has achieved the high peak power thanks to its newly developed charging concept with fixed geometry charger, which enables a maximum torque of 3,400 Nm between 1,350 rpm and 1,600 rpm. “With the D4276, we are offering OEM manufacturers an engine that is easy to integrate and will help set them and their machines apart from the competition, thanks to its unique performance characteristics,” commented Reiner Rössner, Head of Sales at MAN Engines. To comply with current emission levels, the D4276 relies on the compact, flexible and modular exhaust gas aftertreatment (EGA) system from MAN Engines, and is available for the main markets in models meeting the EU Stage V and EPA/CARB Tier 4 emission standards.
