Did you know

Niigata Power Systems has a history of over 100 years in diesel engine manufacturing, with its first marine diesel engine, the M4Z, developed in-house in 1919. The company has continually developed its medium-speed diesel engines to meet customer expectations.
The 6L17PS is part of Niigata's medium-speed diesel engine offerings. While specific details on the 'PS' designation are limited, it is a smaller bore engine compared to the 6L28AHX, which is considered the 'low entry' of the 28AHX family and is available in 6, 8, and 9 cylinders in-line, and 12, 16, and 18 cylinders in V-configuration.
Niigata diesel generators, which would include engines like the 6L17PS, are known for being economical and stable, drawing on the company's extensive experience in marine engines.
