KEY TECHNICAL FEATURES

Less Smoke, Noise, and Lower Emissions: The common rail system reduces black smoke levels by up to 80% compared to conventional models, making it an environmentally friendly, clean, low-emission engine. Additionally, the optimised multi-stage fuel injection pattern allows for low noise levels. Employing the ASSIGN combustion system significantly reduces emissions.
Best-in-Class Fuel Efficiency: The common rail system's precise fuel injection control and the combustion chamber structure optimisation result in clean combustion characteristics and improved fuel efficiency across the entire load range. Fuel efficiency in the practical load range (load rate of 50% or more) has been notably enhanced.
Improved Torque Performance: Yanmar has improved the low-speed torque by analysing realtime usage and operation patterns, resulting in stable high torque in middle and high-speed ranges for reliable work performance.
Electronic Controlled Engine: The advanced electronic control system ensures optimal engine performance and management.
Reliability and Durability: Enhanced by extra-stable lube oil consumption and long-life fuel valves at the tip of each injector. The engine maintains the same compactness and ease of maintenance as ever.
Japanese Manufacturing Excellence: All Yanmar engines are produced and tested in our Japan factory facilities, guaranteeing Japan's perfection and build quality.
