3. Deutz MWM TBD 616V16, Marine Diesel Engine, 1823HP. Engine Type: TBD 616V16. This is a Deutz MWM TBD616V16 marine diesel engine removed from a private working yacht. Maximum horsepower rated at 1823HP @ 2300rpm. Engine hours are reportedly 3310, and reportedly rebuilt at 2450 hours. Year built 1996.

In 1922 the department for the construction of stationary engines was outsourced and had its name changed from Benz & Cie. Rheinische Gasmotorenfabrik in Mannheim to Motorenwerke Mannheim. The renowned German engineer Prosper L'Orange, a pioneer of diesel engine technology, was the technical manager then. Before that he worked for Benz & Cie. The construction of diesel engines in particular used to be the core business of MWM, amongst others for utility vehicles and agricultural machines.^{[citation needed]}

In 1924 MWM manufactured their first tractor, which was called Motorpferd ('motor horse'). In 1931, tractor production was discontinued. For quite a long time, combines by Claas, tractors by the French manufacturer Renault, and by the German companies Fendt, Lanz, Bautz, Holder and Ritscher, were equipped with MWM engines.^{[citation needed]}

Mwm Murphy Diesel Engines

In 1926 Knorr-Bremse AG was able to acquire the majority of shares and took over. In 1985 they sold MWM to Deutz AG (Cologne). The company's site was maintained. The company, along with MAN SE, remained the chief engine manufacturer in the field of commercial diesel engines in Germany. DEUTZ restructured the whole company several times and expanded the gas engine division.^{[citation needed]}

MWM was known as Deutz Power Systems at the time 3i purchased it.^[7]

Today, Caterpillar Energy Solutions offers mainly gas engines for cogeneration units and biogas plants with an output between 400 and 10,300 kilowatts.^[8][4]

On 22 October 2010 Caterpillar Inc. officially announced an agreement with 3i regarding the acquisition of MWM for 580 million euros.^[9][7] Subject to the consent of prudential authorities MWM will then become part of Caterpillar's Electric Power Division.^[10]

On 8 October MWM announced that it would change its name to Caterpillar Energy Solutions from 1 November 2013.^[11]
