FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany - Rolls-Royce will supply a total of 500 MTU Series 106 engines to Polish vehicle manufacturer Jelcz. The type 6R 106 TD21 engines will be used to power four-wheel-drive Jelcz 442.32 all-terrain trucks for use by the Polish Armed Forces. Engine deliveries are slated to begin this year. MTU has already supplied 900 Series 106 engines for Jelcz vehicles currently in service with the Polish army.
The type 6R 106 TD21 six-cylinder engines develop 240 kW (326 HP) and are characterised not just by their reliability, high power density and simplicity of maintenance, but also by being impervious to electro-magnetic impulses and their ability, if required, to run on aviation fuel.
