Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and Wärtsilä Corporation of Finland will jointly develop new small, low-speed marine diesel engines with cylinder bores of 350 and 400 millimeters (mm).
The two companies agreed on joint design and development of engines of less than 450 mm cylinder bore in May 2008, based on a previously signed strategic alliance agreement. The new engines, to have a power range of 3,500–9,000 kW, will be developed in collaboration, taking advantage of the strengths of the two companies. For both the 350 mm and 400 mm cylinder bore models, MHI will develop the mechanically controlled UEC-LSE series, and Wärtsilä will develop the Wärtsilä RT-flex electronically controlled common-rail engines and Wärtsilä RTA mechanically controlled engines. The first of the 350 mm bore engines will be available in the first quarter of 2011 and the 400 mm bore engines a year later.
