Isuzu UM6WG1TCX – 720hp Marinised Propulsion Engine

Isuzu UM6WG1TCX – 720hp Marinised Propulsion Engine

Isuzu Japan Factory Marinised Propulsion Engine

The ISUZU UM6WG1TCX marine propulsion engine is engineered to deliver uncompromising performance for commercial maritime operations. Built on ISUZU’s long‑standing reputation for durability, this 6‑cylinder, vertical in‑line, 4‑cycle diesel engine provides the robust power and efficiency required for demanding marine environments.

Designed for medium‑ and light‑duty applications, the UM6WG1TCX produces 515 kW (700 PS) at 2060 rpmin medium‑duty mode and 537 kW (730 PS) at 2100 rpm for light‑duty operations. Its 15.68‑litre displacement, turbocharged and intercooled aspiration system, and direct‑injection combustion ensure optimal fuel efficiency and strong torque across the operating range.

The engine meets IMO Tier II emissions standards, reflecting ISUZU’s commitment to environmentally responsible design. With a rugged construction and a total weight of 2,100 kg (with the MGN80B marine gear), it is built for long service life in heavy‑duty marine conditions.

To support continuous maritime operations, the UM6WG1TCX incorporates full‑flow pressure lubrication, freshwater cooling with a seawater‑assisted heat exchanger, and a multi‑tube intercooler. The right‑hand (clockwise) rotation direction makes it compatible with standard marine propulsion layouts.

ISUZU also equips the engine with a practical suite of accessories, including an installation kit, control head, tool kit, seawater pump impeller, extension harness, and more—ensuring smooth integration into your vessel.
