MTU 500 kW DS500 (#8716)

MTU diesel gensets are designed for maximum reliability, featuring low fuel consumption, long service intervals and low emissions. Backed by decades of experience and total system expertise, MTU generator sets are the preferred choice for a wide range of mission-critical applications, such as healthcare, data centers, airports, waste water treatment plants, manufacturing plants and independent power stations.

Superior Transient Performance - 85% load factor for standby applications and 75% for prime power.

Mature & Reliable Design - Designed to operate in any situation – even in extreme conditions.

Low Total Cost of Ownership - Low operating costs result from long maintenance intervals and ultra-efficient, fuel-optimized operation.

Emissions Optimized - Providing the power you need while easily fulfilling emissions regulations.

Sustainable Fuels - Even today, our MTU Series 4000 and Series 1600 engines for power generation are approved to run on synthetic paraffinic diesel fuels in accordance with EN 15940, which includes the biofuel HVO. In 2023, approval for Series 2000 and Series 4000 engines in key applications is expected as well. HVO is one of the first commercially available fuels that can be used to power internal combustion engines in a significantly more climate-friendly way.
