CSSC Group’s Swiss-headquartered WinGD subsidiary reports encouraging results from early testing of its new X-DF-A ammonia-fueled engine design.
“The single-cylinder X-DF-A concept is running well, with combustion efficiency, emissions and pilot consumption within our range of expectations,” said WinGD Vice president research & development Sebastian Hensel. “This milestone is a testament to our uniquely rigorous approach to innovation and the fantastic work of our development team and partners.”
The 52 centimeter bore single-cylinder version of the X-DF-A engine is running at the company’s Engine Research and Innovation Center (ERIC) in Winterthur, Switzerland, with final validation to be completed in time for the first engine deliveries in June 2025.
Single-cylinder testing will allow rapid validation of the ammonia combustion system under engine conditions, as well as optimization of emissions and performance. It follows earlier combustion tests and validation of critical systems on dedicated test rigs and multiple class
