Serial production of the G 2.5 diesel engine has started in Nizhny Novgorod - one of the key projects of the Russian auto component industry. The launch was announced by "Modern Transport Technologies."
The entire assembly process is built around robotization - automatic complexes move parts, a machine vision system controls the accuracy of operations, and the MES platform coordinates production in real time.
Robots perform 14 key operations, and a "smart rack" highlights the necessary components to the operator. The plant was originally designed to scale production, including future engine modifications.
The basic G 2.5 is produced in several versions with a capacity of 149.6 hp, corresponding to the Euro-5 standard. Modifications differ in attachments, oil pan shape and maximum torque. The G51A version works with a 5-speed gearbox, and the G51B, G51C and G51D versions work with a 6-speed gearbox.
Each modification is tied to a specific technique: B-series engines are installed on the "Valdai 8", C-series engines are installed on the "Gazelle NN" and "Sobol NN", and the D version is designed for Citymax 8 buses. The company confirmed that versions with a capacity of up to 190 hp will soon appear, already under the Euro-6 standard. They will be designed for special vehicles and diesel generators. The warranty on cars with G 2.5 is up to four years or 200 thousand km.
