MPS 3000 engine

Undergoing trials

A family of high-speed V-type diesel engines of MPS own design — for marine, power generation and industry.

About the project

The goal is to develop MPS own design documentation for the new MPS 3000 engine family (V8, V12, V16), with assembly at the MPS production facility in the Leningrad region and serial production to follow.

The project started in 2016 as part of the import substitution programme for foreign engines and is fully self-funded.

Marine

Main and auxiliary ship engines.

Diesel power plants

Stand-alone and backup power generation.

Pumping units

Drives for hydraulic fracturing pumping units.

Locomotives

Power units for railway equipment.

One family — three engines

MPS 3000 engine family: V8, V12 and V16

MPS 3000 is designed as a single family: V8, V12 and V16 share a common cylinder unit with a 170 mm bore and 190 mm stroke — simplifying maintenance, spare parts supply and engine selection.

The power range spans 800 to 3600 kW with a notable power-to-weight ratio: 3600 kW at 10 500 kg.

Project timeline

2016

Project start: market research and concept design.

2018

Concept approved; detailed design of the V8 / V12 / V16 family begins.

2020

Single-cylinder test unit successfully started. Design documentation completed.

2021

V16 prototype assembled and first started. Single-cylinder unit development completed.

2023–2024

Design refinement: turbocharging, exhaust manifold and lubrication improved; V16 weight cut by 256 kg, V12 by 503 kg. Final marine-version documentation.

2025

V16 prototype trials completed. Industrial V12 documentation ready.

2026

V12 trials under way. Next — assembly and acceptance testing of the first production batches.
