It is not so easy to design and manufacture a 1500 - 1600 hp diesel engine from the scratch. MTU and others have been making these products since decades and when they are charging an arm and a leg it is for their experience.

Kersi

In my very humble opinion MTU is the best diesel engine manufacturer in the world. Others e.g. GE/GM are their licensees.

But we will fool around and finally buy some MTURuzoski from Russia
