The renown Austrian Diesel engine manufacturer Steyr Motors keeps track with its own slogan “Innovation with lightness” and has successfully redesigned its 6-cylinder series during the last 18 month. After an intensive test period the production started in January 2012 and “MO” became “SE” — compared to the MO-series the new SE 6-cylinder series appeals not only due to its stylish appearance! The all new SE-series is based on the reinforced Monoblock-design which is more than ever the key for a robust and durable operation under highest load conditions. The Monoblock received redesigned intake channels and this together with the upgraded high-pressure multifuel Unit Injector results in a significant improvement of the efficiency, in some models and load conditions up to 30%. The overall packaging dimension have been reduced which is a great benefit for sportive pleasure boats and light working boats.
Another significant improvement has been done in the cooling system including a thermostat controlled oil cooler and a complete redesign of exhaust manifold and heat exchanger. All this resulted in a significant reduction of oil consumption, a shorter warm-up period and the elimination of white smoke.
On top Steyr Motors has invested much effort to give the engine a more powerful and elegant styling. The new SE-series meets all the current and near future exhaust emission requirements such as EPA Tier III, RCD, BSO 2, IMO Nox.
