ENGINE MERCEDES OM 642-826

Description

The Mercedes-Benz OM642 engine is a 3.0 litres (2,987 cc), 24-valve, aluminium/aluminium block and heads diesel 72° V6 engine manufactured by the Mercedes-Benz division of Daimler AG as a replacement for the Mercedes straight-5 and straight-6 cylinder engines.[1]

At the beginning of summer 2017 the engine, together with Mercedes-Benz OM651 was under investigation by the Federal Motor Transport Authority in respect of the alleged emissions cheating scandal wherein the laboratory emissions testing produced a different amount of diesel exhaust fluid usage and lower emissions than in real world operating scenarios.
