The engine adopt a sequential turbocharging system (*1) that combines two turbochargers.

Mitsui E&S plans to expand licensed production to other models in the future.

(*1 ) Sequential turbocharging system:
A set up that enables efficient turbocharging by installing more than one turbocharger on an engine and concentrating the exhaust gas to one of the turbochargers at lower engine speeds to obtain turbocharging when the amount of exhaust gas is small. When there is a large amount of exhaust gas, the gas is directed to either both turbochargers and/or to the larger turbocharger for efficient turbocharging at a broader range of engine speeds.
