VETUS VD4.140 – Marine Diesel Engine 145 HP
Low-RPM heavy displacement thrust defines this VETUS VD4.140 diesel powerplant, which extracts 140 HP at 2400 RPM from an aftercooled 3.9L 4-cylinder Hyundai-base block, turning ZF hydraulic shaft gears with 140 Amps charging at 959 lbs.
- Low 2400-RPM rating suits heavy commercial trawlers
- 3.9L aftercooled block delivers high torque
- High-pressure common rail injection optimizes fuel
- 140-Amp alternator powers commercial electronics suites
During engine-room layout planning, the VETUS VD4.140 requires consideration of its 959-pound dry weight, 3.9L inline four-cylinder configuration, and 12V 140-amp alternator. Turbocharging, aftercooling, and high-pressure common rail injection support the stated 140 hp output at 2,400 rpm. Its shaft-drive compatibility, SAE 3 flywheel housing, ZF or Technodrive hydraulic transmission options, and heat-exchanger cooling should be matched to the completed propulsion plan.
The engine uses EN 590 diesel, a stated 17.6:1 compression ratio, forced lubrication with 12L oil capacity, and indirect cooling holding 16L coolant. A water-cooled manifold forms the exhaust arrangement. The supplied specification identifies EPA Tier 3, IMO II, and RCD II emissions ratings, plus hydraulic or electronic steering compatibility.
Why Choose the VETUS VD4.140 Marine Diesel Engine
The VD4.140 marine diesel engine combines 140 hp at 2,400 rpm with turbocharging, aftercooling, and high-pressure common rail injection in a 3.9L four-cylinder platform. Buyers can assess its shaft-drive compatibility, ZF or Technodrive hydraulic transmission options, SAE 3 flywheel housing, and 12V 140-amp alternator. The supplied 959-pound dry weight, 16L coolant capacity, and 12L oil capacity support installation planning.
