Overview
Introduction of New Generation of 4-Cylinder Inline Engines, OM 651
q
Brief description
Engine model series 651
The new generation of the 4-cylinder diesel engine
651 equipped with the second-generation Common
Rail Direct Injection (CDI) system from Delphi will be
launched on the market as of October 2008.
Engine 651 has a rated output of 150 kW with a
displacement of 2,
143 cm
3
and a consumption of just
5.4 liters of diesel fuel per 100 kilometers. Despite
this high output and an engine torque of 500 Nm,
emissions of CO
2
have been further reduced. In addi-
tion, the engine meets the future Euro 5 standard.
A central feature of the new engine is its dual stage
turboc
harging system. The system combines a small
high-pressure turbocharger with a large low-pressure
turbocharger. Engine 651 also features two
Lanchester balance shafts to make the engine run
more smoothly.
In order to meet the new legal requirements of the
Eur
o NCAP crash tests with respect to improved
pedestrian protection, the gear drive has been located
on the output side together with the chain drive. The
increased space between the engine and engine hood
reduces the risk of injury for pedestrians.
Engine 651
2.2 l displacement and 150 kW output. Installed in the
C-Class as of October 2008.
Engine 138
2.6 l displacement and 33 kW output. Installed in the
Mercedes-Benz 260 D, the world's first diesel passenger
car, in 1936.
