EuroPowerPack
The EuroPowerPack is the combination of the MTU MT883 Ka-500/501 diesel engine delivering over 1100 kW (1500 PS) shaft power with the ten-speed (five forward, five reverse) Renk HSWL 295TM automatic transmission for the use in heavy tracked vehicles like tanks.
Initially the version with the MT883 Ka-500 engine provided 1500 shaft horsepower, but in 2002 an improved version using the MT883 Ka-501 providing 1650hp was tested [1]
