M113 Powerpack MTU

POWERPACK FOR M113 ARMORED PERSONNEL CARRIER  (APC) The new M113 powerpack consists of a MTU 6V 183 TC22 diesel engine developing 300 hp at 2,100 rpm coupled to a ZF LSG 1000 fully automatic transmission. The engine is based on a commercial Mercedes-Benz OM 441 LA diesel with exhaust turbocharging and charge air cooling which fully meets the EURO II exhaust emission standards. The M113A2 pulled cooling fan has been retained and there are no alterations required to the internal bulkheads of the M113. A thermostatically controlled hydraulic fan drive has been incorporated. The ZF LSG 1000 is a six-speed fully automatically controlled transmission with integrated hydrostatic steering differential and brake system which greatly enhances mobility and safety.
