Company Info

MTU: Precision German Engineering for Mission-Critical Power

The Rolls-Royce Standard: A Heritage of High Performance

The MTU brand carries a legacy of premium engineering that is virtually unmatched in the engine industry. The company’s origins date back to 1909 and the work of Wilhelm Maybach, a legendary German engine designer. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions involving industry giants like Daimler-Benz and MAN, the company evolved into MTU Friedrichshafen.  

Today, MTU is the core product and solution brand of Rolls-Royce Power Systems AG. This direct association with two of the most prestigious names in engineering—Maybach and Rolls-Royce—immediately establishes MTU as a provider of elite, high-performance power solutions designed for the world’s most demanding and mission-critical applications.  

MTU Generator

MTU’s generator portfolio is engineered to deliver maximum power, efficiency, and reliability, with a focus on technologically advanced, high-speed engine platforms.

The MTU Generator Portfolio: Power Density and Performance

MTU’s generator portfolio is engineered to deliver maximum power, efficiency, and reliability, with a focus on technologically advanced, high-speed engine platforms.

  • Product Lines: The portfolio is centered on high-performance diesel and gas generator sets. The key product lines are the Series 1600, Series 2000, and Series 4000, which are renowned for their advanced technology and robust performance. MTU also offers complete, integrated solutions, including   battery energy storage systems, microgrids, and dynamic UPS systems.  
  • Power Range: MTU provides a wide spectrum of power outputs to serve diverse industrial needs. Their diesel generator sets are available in sizes ranging from 30 kW to over 4,000 kVA, while their gas generator sets range from 30 kWe to over 2,500 kWe.  
  • Fuel Types: MTU offers a full range of diesel and natural gas generator sets. They are also a leader in leveraging alternative and renewable fuels, with systems designed to run on biogas, HVO, and with the capability for hydrogen blending in their Series 4000 gas gensets, paving the way for a climate-neutral future.  

The MTU Advantage: Performance Without Compromise

MTU’s premium market position is justified by a set of distinct engineering advantages that deliver superior performance and long-term value.

  1. Superior Power Density & Fuel Efficiency: MTU engines are engineered to deliver more power from a more compact footprint. They often feature higher displacement than competitor engines in the same power class, which allows them to generate their rated power with less internal stress. This, combined with advanced common rail fuel injection and electronic controls, results in industry-leading fuel efficiency and lower operational costs. Their gas generator sets can achieve an electrical efficiency of up to 44.4%.  
  2. Exceptional Load Acceptance & Transient Response: MTU generator sets are engineered for outstanding one-step load acceptance and transient response. This means they can start and accept large, sudden electrical loads—like those from massive HVAC systems or industrial motors—with minimal frequency and voltage deviation. This capability is absolutely critical for applications like data centers, where even a momentary fluctuation can be detrimental.  
  3. Advanced Engineering for Durability and Low TCO: The brand’s commitment to quality extends to every component. Features like an optimal engine speed of 1500rpm (for 50 Hz models) reduce mechanical stress, while advanced cooling and oil management systems prolong engine life. This robust design leads to longer service intervals, less wear, and lower maintenance costs over the generator’s lifespan, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership.  
  4. Low Noise and Vibration: MTU systems are designed for smooth, quiet operation. The use of advanced engine damping systems, smoother combustion processes, and high-performance acoustic enclosures results in significantly lower noise and vibration levels compared to many competitors, a key benefit for installations in or near occupied buildings or noise-sensitive areas.

    How do Series 2000 and Series 4000 generators differ?

    Series 2000 covers mid to high outputs with compact footprints. Series 4000 serves the highest ratings with exceptional load acceptance. We map the series to your step-load and runtime profile.

    Why is MTU known for fast load acceptance?

    Engine and controls design allow MTU sets to take large step loads with minimal frequency and voltage deviation, which is critical for data centers and hospitals.

    Can MTU units use alternative fuels like HVO or hydrogen blends?

    Many MTU diesels are approved for HVO. Select MTU gas platforms support hydrogen blending. We validate by model and application.

    What is the typical lifespan of a used MTU diesel generator?

    With proper maintenance, MTU diesel generators are known to run for tens of thousands of hours. Many standby units have low hours and a lot of life left. Our inspection helps estimate remaining life.

    Do used MTU generators come with a warranty?

    Used units do not carry a new manufacturer warranty, but Generator Source offers warranty options or guarantees on select units. Ask about coverage for the specific generator you are considering.

    Can Generator Source assist with installation and ongoing maintenance for a used MTU generator?

    Yes. We can handle installation and connect you with our service teams for maintenance, parts, and technical support. Service locations include Austin, TX, Brighton, CO, Jacksonville, FL, and Pensacola, FL.

    How do I know the condition of a used MTU generator?

    Every unit receives a comprehensive 31-point inspection, including load bank testing. We share reports, photos, and often videos so you have full transparency on condition and performance.

    Are replacement parts readily available for older MTU generator models?

    Yes. MTU’s global parts and service network is a major advantage. Parts for most MTU engines and generator models are widely available, which supports long-term ownership.
