These features have been futher advanced in the Series 4000 M53 and M63 models. Specific consumption has been reduced to 195 grams per kilowatt hour, maintenance intervals for major overhauls have been extended to up to 34,000 hours, and the power output of the 16-cylinder version has been increased from 2,680 to 3,000 bhp. The engine meets today'ss emissions regulations for EPA Tier 2 and is technically equipped to fulfill stricter limits in the future.

In addition to the Series 4000 M53 and M63, MTU will also be displaying its Series 60 engine, a mainstay in the workboat market, along with its 16-cylinder Series 2000 engine.
