WinGD engines feature a host of built-in emission reduction technologies and are designed for integration with several others. Our engines also come with some innovative options to further minimise environmental impact and improve fuel consumption.
NOx compliance
Tier III requirements
WinGD’s X-DF dual-fuel engines offer compliance with the most stringent Tier III requirements in gas mode, or in both gas and diesel mode when iCER technology is used.
Optimising dual-fuel efficiency
Variable Compression Ratio
For WinGD’s dual-fuel X-DF engines, Variable Compression Ratio (VCR) technology delivers compression without compromise – optimising efficiency and emissions depending on the fuel used and engine load.
