D2866LXE
D2866LXE marine engine from the MAN D D2866 series
The D2866LXE is a robust, inline six-cylinder diesel engine known for dependable output, compact dimensions, and long service intervals. While it belongs to the MAN D D2866 series, the focus for operators and technical buyers is the D2866LXE itself: a workhorse configuration used widely in marine propulsion and auxiliary duty where predictable performance, efficient fuel consumption, and straightforward maintenance planning are essential.
In coastal shipping, inland waterways, workboats, and onboard power generation, the D2866LXE has earned a reputation for balanced power-to-weight ratio and stable operation across a broad rpm window. Its architecture supports continuous and intermittent duty profiles, making the D2866LXE a versatile choice for owners who require reliability without compromising lifecycle cost.
Technical characteristics of the D2866LXE diesel engine
The D2866LXE is typically configured as a turbocharged, charge‑air cooled inline six with a displacement of approximately 12 liters (commonly cited around 11.9–12.0 L). Depending on build year and rating, typical continuous and intermittent outputs span the mid 200s to low 300s kW range, with propulsion and genset maps centered around 1500–2100 rpm. This D2866LXE MAN D marine engine favors high mid‑range torque for responsive acceleration and load acceptance, while maintaining steady-state efficiency under harbor maneuvering or generator set baseload conditions.
Core features include a durable cast-iron block and cylinder head, efficient turbocharging matched to marine duty cycles, and fuel system configurations aligned with emissions expectations of their era. The D2866LXE diesel engine is commonly paired with marine gearboxes for propulsion of smaller cargo vessels, ferries, pilot boats, and utility craft, or coupled to alternators for ship service and emergency power generation. Its service-friendly layout provides straightforward access to consumables and wear components, contributing to predictable downtime planning.
