2 Diesel Engines by Liebherr

Liebherr diesel engines are designed and manufactured in Bulle, Switzerland. The
first 6-cylinder inline engines came off the production line in 1985. Since then, both
the product portfolio and the manufacturing systems have been continuously ex-
panded. Currently the product range of series production engines comprises six
different basic engines in the power class from 130 kW to 750 kW. Starting with the
4- and 6-cylinder inline engines and through to the 8- and 12-cylinder-V-engines, a
wide power and torque range is covered. Further engines which will enhance the
portfolio in the upper range are being developed.

Outstanding performance
Diesel engines from Liebherr are distinguished by their high specific performance. This can be called
upon at any time thanks to the responsive engines. Engine architecture, injection system and engine
management are adapted ideally to each other in order to achieve an optimal, application-specific torque
curve. This is decisive not just for the performance but also for the degree of efficiency and thereby fuel
consumption.

Very smooth running
Diesel engines from Liebherr run absolutely smoothly, evenly and with low vibration – even under arduous
operating conditions. By low noise combustion with an optimised combustion pressure characteristic,
vibrations are minimised right from the outset. A rigid design and generously proportioned components
also contribute towards reduced vibrations.

Rigid engine design

All of the mechanical parts in Liebherr diesel engines have
been optimised to reduce the noise and oscillation level to
a minimum. With the extremely stiff design of engine block,

nes from Liebherr set a benchmark in terms of noise emissi-

System optimization
As part of innovative exhaust gas aftertreatment strategies,
Liebherr put the entire fuel combustion process under
scrutiny. This resulted, for example, in optimized combustion
chamber geometry, more efficient turbocharger loading, and
optimization of engine friction loss. Together with the deve-
lopment of the company‘s own injection systems and engine
controls, this enabled the creation of soot particles to be re-
duced to a minimum.

Modular engine system
Powerful and durable diesel engines which are highly efficient and ensure low emissions can only
be achieved through ideal coordination of the engine architecture, injection system, engine control,
and exhaust gas aftertreatment. Liebherr consequently develops and designs all these components
itself, and manufactures important parts in its own factories. An engine can be extended into a drivetrain
by means of robust splitter boxes and hydraulic pumps.
