The 16.1-liter, six-cylinder, in-line diesel D16G600 engine has an intercooler and a turbocharger. intended for the transportation of large loads. Its sturdy construction includes precision electronic fuel injection, four valves per cylinder, and an overhead camshaft. Because of the engine’s high power, the maximum torque in a broad rpm range ensures excellent driving characteristics.

Characteristics and advantages of the engine:
- maximum torque across a broad range of engine speeds.
- engine running silently.
- economical.
- Low emissions and compliance with Euro 5
- When using VDS4 oil, change the oil every 100,000 kilometers or once a year.

SCR technology, which injects AdBlue into the catalytic converter prior to exhaust gases entering the catalytic converter, allows the D16G600 engine to meet emission standards. The level of hazardous emissions is greatly decreased when the reagent reacts with nitrogen oxides. The engine is approved in compliance with the Euro 5 emission standard because of the SCR system.
A Crank Case Ventilation (Closed) system is included with the D16G600. A centrifuge oil separator returns the blow-by gases from the valve cover to the turbocharger. A centrifuge, which separates the oil mist, doesn’t need to be maintained or have its filters changed. This system makes it possible to obtain a very clean and low-emission engine because of gas recirculation.
