Development of STORM Series Diesel Engine (D1146, D1146T, D2366, D2366T) 871218

For the purpose of satisfying today's market demands, new 8 and 11 liter diesel engines, named "STORM" series, have been developed and moved into production in 1986.

Based on the predecessors which have been produced since 1975, the development of the STORM series aimed high performance, low emission, long life-time and low operating costs. In order to consult customers' convenience, exchangeability of engine parts and commonality of vehicle installations with the former engines had to be maintained.

This paper describes the development work of STORM engines, and the design aspects and performance characteristics of these engines.
