IN BRIEF
Exalto Emirates delivers Dtorque 111
engine to the region
Exalto Emirates has been appointed the official distributor
of the Dtorque 111 twin cylinder 50hp diesel outboard
engine to the region. The engine designed by German
manufacturer “Neander Shark” is the latest addition
to the fast developing field of diesel outboards.
The exciting new compact Dtorque 111 is designed to
revolutionize the small workboat market where its expected
lifespan of well over 10,000 hours is at least double
that of any comparable outboard petrol engine. The
Dtorque 111 offers a remarkably smooth and quiet diesel
engine, delivering 50 hp at the propeller with a stunning
torque output of 111 Nm at just 2,500 rpm. This is
considerably better than the latest 70 hp 4-stroke petrol
models and more than enough to quickly accelerate most
small craft onto plane with plenty of low-down lugging
power for heavy displacement duty.
To create the Dtorque 111 the manufacturer deconstructed
conventional small-diesel engineering to first
principles. The result is a two-cylinder common-rail turbo
charged diesel engine, using a unique system of dual
counter-rotating crankshafts in an aluminum block, which
dramatically reduces the vibration levels that a conventional
small two-cylinder diesel engine would normally
generate. This technology with a patented “Spaceball” design
not only achieves less vibration but also less noise,
lighter boat handling and less stress on the engine.
Engine’s main features
The Dtorque 111 is the world's smallest diesel outboard
engine with common-rail fuel injection. This allows it to
deliver an impressive performance with class-leading fuel
economy and exhaust emissions that fall well within the
latest EU RCD 2 limits. At full throttle and lading it typically
burns under 12 litres of fuel per hour – 2 times less
than most 70 hp petrol outboards of similar performance.
The Dtorque 111 ensures fewer refuelling stops and lower
running costs.
For the past 2 years the engine has been trialed in several
pilot countries, being put to the test in many different
sea and loading conditions. Research has confirmed that
this product is ideal for the light duty commercial market,
such as survey boats, offshore dive boats, harbor patrol,
water taxis, superyacht tenders and most specifically for
use in the oil & gas industry such as on rescue boats for
offshore support vessels. Exalto Emirates GM, John Paul
commented, “We are extremely excited to be able to offer
such a safe, economical, and reliable alternative to small
petrol outboards to the regional marine market.”
Exalto Emirates has been in this market for over 20
years and distributes an array of electrical and mechanical
parts and equipment from over 90 international manufacturers.
From multiple locations in the UAE and a dedicated
service center Exalto Emirates is supplying throughout
the Middle East, Africa, and the Indian Subcontinent as
well as providing installation and troubleshooting, technical
advice and commissioning services to their customers.
With a large knowledgable staff, including full service
technical and service divisions, Exalto Emirates can offer
you full support from the design phase, to installation,
and after sales care.
