Taiwan’s navy has placed an order with Tognum subsidiary MTU Asia for 90 Series 4000 large diesel engines.

Rainer Breidenbach, Board Member at Tognum AG and Chief Executive at MTU Friedrichshafen responsible for Distribution and After Sales, confirmed that “winning a contract in this economically vital region is a significant achievement, especially as the reliability of mtu’s engines played an important role in the customer’s decision”. Each of the 180-tonne patrol vessels will be fitted with a propulsion system powered by mtu’s 16-cylinder Series 4000 engines and monitored by mtu systems.
