Development of altitude kit for MTU Powerpacks

Tanks search for direct contact in military conflicts. Mobility is therefore one of the most important criteria that these vehicles must fulfill. Along with other factors it increases the active protection of the crews and is a decisive factor in the success of the missions.

In order to make compact, extremely mobile and efficiently armored vehicles, drive systems are required that are both powerful and compact at the same time.

The MTU engines of the 837, 870, and 880 series impressively cover these requirements.

In vehicles such as the Leopard I, Leopard II, and Leclerc Tropicalisé these MTU tank engines have acquired an excellent reputation and they set worldwide standards in terms of mobility, power spectrum, and reliability.

Your benefits:

• Highest power concentration with regard to weight and volume
• Fulfills MIL standards such as "nuclear hardening" and "electromagnetic shielding"
• Latest technology, such as starter generators and CAN bus communication
• Low fuel and oil consumption due to use of modern engine management systems and common rail injection systems
