ing and uses it when the train starts and
in stop-and-go operation. Depending
on how much power is required by the
train operator, the railcar is propelled
either solely by electrical power or by a
combination of the diesel engine and
electric motor. MTU said that fuel consumption and carbon-dioxide emissions can be reduced by up to 25%,
depending on the route.
In the naval market, MTU has introduced a new automation system called
Callosum, specially developed for military applications such as corvettes,
frigates or governmental vessels. Callosum continuously monitors and controls all areas and functions of the vessel’s technology and is engineered to
ensure the reliability of the onboard systems. It consists of four core subsystems
— a monitoring and control system, a
vessel security system, a training system and a service and maintenance system in a modular arrangement.
Emissions
During 2008 MTU supplied a traction
system with one Series 4000 engine and
exhaust gas aftertreatment for trial on a
heavy-duty switcher locomotive for the
German railways Deutsche Bahn with a
power output of 1000 k W. It is a research
project called Locex (Locomitive with Clean
Exhaust), scheduled to run for two years.
The traction system by MTU includes a
particulate filter and an SCR system.
Corporate News
In September 2008 the Tognum
Group, MTU’s parent company, launched
MTU Onsite Energy to market all the
company’s decentralized energy generation products. This includes Tognum’s
subsidiaries MDE, CFC Solutions, Katolight and MTU Power Generation.
Tognum and Hug Engineering announced a joint venture for exhaust
aftertreatment, namely particulate filters
and SCR systems. The new company is
headquartered in Switzerland and ensures that large MTU diesel engines in
the 2000, 4000 and 8000 series can be
fitted with exhaust aftertreatment systems as a standard feature in the future.
Another joint venture with Japanese trad-
ing company Marubeni formed a new
company called MTU Marubeni Co. Ltd.
with offices in Tokyo and Osaka. One of
the main aims of the JV is for the MTU
and MTU Onsite Energy brands to gain
enhanced access to the Japanese market for industrial applications and navy,
defense and distributed energy sectors.
In the aftersales business, Tognum
reached an agreement with one of the
company’s independent distributors,
MTU Services Malaysia, to form a new
company named Motor Teknologi
Industri Sdn Bhd (MTI) with headquarters located in Rawang, Malaysia. The
new company will operate a new remanufacturing, repair and service location for
Tognum in Asia. Earlier in 2008 Tognum
also acquired SKL Motor GmbH in Magdeburg, Germany. This location will overhaul MTU engines and components.

New Engines
Navistar announced that it will complete its line of MaxxForce brand Class 8
big-bore diesel engines by adding a 15 L
model. The new MaxxForce 15 engine
offers ratings up to 410 k W and 2508 Nm
torque. It will be initially available in North
America to buyers of International Pro-Star, LoneStar and select 9000 Series
line-haul trucks, and PayStar severe
service trucks that require 15 L power.
Under development now, the MaxxForce 15 will join Navistar’s MaxxForce 11
and MaxxForce 13 Big Bore engines,
which debuted in 2008. Navistar will use
Caterpillar as a supplier for the core structural components for the 15 L engine,
including the crankcase, crankshaft and
valvetrain. The company said it will engineer proven MaxxForce Big Bore fuel, air
and electronic systems as well as
advanced EGR emissions technologies
to deliver outstanding performance and
fuel economy, without the use of urea or
additional aftertreatment to achieve full
emissions compliance.
MWM International Motores, an affiliate of Navistar Inc., also announced the
development of a new version of its 6. 10
engine for marine applications in fishing
and commercial vessels. The new 6. 10
TCW has a maximum rating of 178.9 k W
and is designed to offer low fuel consumption, the company said.
