The compact Dtorque 111 is designed to revolutionize the small workboat market where its expected lifespan of well over 10,000 hours at least doubles that of any comparable outboard gasoline engine.

Increased Safety
Diesel is less flammable than gasoline, and so the Dtorque is the safer choice for potentially hazardous environments, such as in the oil and gas industry. Superyacht and cruise ship operators, for example, will also benefit from the time and cost savings associated with having fewer fire safety precautions and regulations.

In addition, there is only one type of fuel to manage, which is more widely available in ports all over the world. The Dtorque also exceeds EU RDC Stage II emissions regulations, however, is not yet EPA compliant.

Low Noise and Vibration
The Dtorque has a two-cylinder, common rail, turbo-charged diesel engine that uses a unique system of dual counter-rotating crankshafts in an aluminum block. This technology, with its patented ‘Spaceball’ design, helps reduce vibrations and noise.

Another advantage of these crankshafts is the lack of rotating and operating (steering) torques. This results in less fatigue during the engine’s operation.
