VM Motori Engine Diesel Engine : R 428 DOHC

2800 cc - 4 Cyl. - 16 Valve

The ever increasing popularity of the diesel engine and the increasingly frequent requests for larger capacity engines suitable for heavy passenger vehicle applications has led VM to further evolve the R 425 DOHC.

Increasing the capacity of this engine to 2.8 L was a relatively simple task thanks to the standard wet liners. This means that only changes to the liner, piston and camshaft were necessary. The result is the R 428 DOHC, an engine which offers all of the features and benefits of the R 425 DOHC plus an increase of over 10% more torque at lower revs.

Featuring the same 4 cylinder, four valves per cylinder layout with the latest in common rail injection technology and double balance shaft off the crank in the oil sump, this engine is ideally suited to heavyweight Minivans and SUVs.

Additional technical features are as per the R 425 DOHC and include finger followers on the camshaft and cooled EGR. An optional VGT turbocharger may also be fitted and increases the power output to a class-leading 177 CV.
