Did you know

The Yanmar 6EY26W is part of the EY26 series, which saw the development of a dual-fuel engine (6EY26DF) based on the existing 6EY26 diesel engine in the latter half of 2012, with the 6EY26DF going on sale in April 2016. The 6EY26W itself was noted in a 2016 technical review as a marine propulsion engine utilizing a two-stage turbocharging system.
The 6EY26W is a medium-speed marine propulsion engine within Yanmar's product lineup. It sits above the 6EY22AW and 6EY17W in terms of power output, but below the 8EY26W, 6EY33W, and 8EY33W.
The 6EY26W is chosen for its balance of power and efficiency, durable propulsion, and compliance with IMO Tier II emission regulations. It incorporates technologies like the ASSIGN Combustion System and High Pressure Miller Cycle System to reduce NOx emissions while maintaining fuel consumption and minimizing smoke.
