MPS 3000 engine
Undergoing trials
A family of high-speed V-type diesel engines of MPS own design — for marine, power generation and industry.
Engine model
Demonstration model of the MPS 3000 V16 engine exterior, marine version. In “Systems” view the units are coloured as in the design documentation.
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 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.
Specifications
Project timeline
Project start: market research and concept design.
Concept approved; detailed design of the V8 / V12 / V16 family begins.
Single-cylinder test unit successfully started. Design documentation completed.
V16 prototype assembled and first started. Single-cylinder unit development completed.
Design refinement: turbocharging, exhaust manifold and lubrication improved; V16 weight cut by 256 kg, V12 by 503 kg. Final marine-version documentation.
V16 prototype trials completed. Industrial V12 documentation ready.
V12 trials under way. Next — assembly and acceptance testing of the first production batches.
