Ethanol-fuelled capability based on proven engine performance

Ethanol-fuelled engines available for order now

X-DF-M/E enables deepsea ship owners and operators to choose from a range of fuels including carbon-neutral green methanol and attractively priced bio-ethanol.

The X-DF-M/E engines can be adapted and certified to operate on ethanol fuels with deliveries for new builds and retrofit applications starting in 2027.

Retrofit ready

All WinGD engines are built on a similar, robust platform capable of handling the high pressures and temperatures that may be needed for various alternative fuels.

This ensures that retrofitting between all fuels – including conventional liquid fuel, LNG, methanol and ammonia – is both technically and economically feasible, while ensuring comparable performance on any fuel.

X-DF technology

Based on proven engine performance

The engine platform deployed in X-DF-M/E engines will be familiar to operators of the WinGD well established, highly efficient diesel fuelled X-Engines.

Conversion packages for converting diesel and LNG engines to X-DF-M/E engines will be available shortly after new build engines are developed for the relevant bore size
