A 52-bore single-cylinder version of the X-DF-A engine is running at the company's Engine Research and Innovation Centre (ERIC) in Winterthur, with final validation to be completed in time for the first engine deliveries in June 2025.
Swiss marine power company WinGD has introduced an option for its X-DF-A ammonia-fuelled engines to be delivered capable of running on liquified petroleum gas (LPG).
Development of new fuel system will help ship owners invest in ammonia-fuelled vessels to comply with tightening environmental regulations and support industry decarbonisation.
