Technology Updates for D4276 and D2676 High-Performance Diesel Engines
At the heart of the further development of diesel engines for agricultural machinery are the established D4276 and D2676 series, which set new standards through targeted technical measures.
In the case of the MAN D4276 engine, the integration of the latest generation of control units has resulted in a comprehensive optimization of the variants with variable and fixed turbine geometry. This revision enables more efficient combustion and higher performance values, and initial test bench results show fuel savings of up to three percent. The adjustments allow machine manufacturers to increase performance and efficiency when integrated into the powertrain of their machines. For years, leading manufacturers such as Fendt (AGCO Group) and Claas have relied on the MAN D4276 in high-performance machines such as tracked tractors, combine harvesters and forage harvesters – proof of the reliability and performance of the unit.
The MAN D2676 engine is also receiving a comprehensive update, which relies on a new engine control unit and a completely revised basic engine. The increase in power from 383 kW (521 hp) to 404 kW (549 hp) is made possible by a new crankshaft, revised combustion, camshaft and pistons together with a modified injection system, oil module and fuel filter. The higher compression ratio ensures reduced consumption of up to seven percent, depending on the respective application and operating conditions. New engine maps and an adapted design lead to a noticeable increase in efficiency and performance. The MAN D2676, which has been established in the truck sector since 2006, is used in agricultural machinery in tractors, combine harvesters and shredders and is proving to be a versatile and robust drive partner.
With the integration of functional safety in accordance with ISO 26262 into the development of the D4276 and D2676 engines, another forward-looking step has been taken. This aspect of modern vehicle technology ensures that safety-relevant systems react reliably and in a controlled manner even in the event of a fault. The inclusion of this standard underlines MAN Engines’ claim to combine technological innovation with the highest level of system integrity.
The MAN D4276 and MAN D2676 engines – like all off-road engines from MAN – are prepared for future and alternative fuels. They are developed and built at the MAN competence centre in Nuremberg, where innovations in diesel, natural gas, biogas, hydrogen and battery-electric drives are being promoted.
Both engine updates address the growing power requirements of modern high-performance harvesters and bring mature products up to date with the latest technology. The product updates shown will be introduced for all MAN off-road engines – from the D1556 to D2862. With these extensive investments, MAN Engines is underlining its role as an innovation leader and long-term partner for drive solutions in the agricultural sector.
On display at Agritechnica are an example of the modern product portfolio: a MAN D2676 engine with a supporting structure of the oil pan used in the Fendt 1000 Vario tractor. This engine will be exhibited together with an EU Stage V exhaust aftertreatment system, consisting of an SCR catalytic converter and diesel particulate filter. Furthermore, a cutaway model of the MAN D4276 allows insights into the interior of the most powerful production in-line six-cylinder engine from MAN Engines in the off-road sector.
MAN E3872: New gas engine for flexible and high-performance CHP solutions under the banner of the biomass package
Another exhibit at Agritechnica is the MAN E3872 gas engine, which has been in series production since mid-2024. Against the background of the current biomass package of the German government, it in twin and triple pack configurations represents an ideal solution for the requirements for higher outputs with increasing flexibility. The modular combination of several of these modern gensets with an output of 735 kWmech makes it possible to cover important power ranges in the field of combined heat and power – such as >1 MW or 2 MW total output – while at the same time improving load stepping capability, high availability and reduced service times due to the redundancy of individual motors.
The MAN E3872 is based on an independent technical concept that was specifically developed for maximum efficiency and performance in the gas engine segment. The development of this modern 30-litre engine is based on the experience of millions of operating hours of the 26-litre MAN E3262 variant. The complete redesign resulted in an engine that sets new standards in its design and performance and clearly stands out from previous generations. In addition to increases in the strength of the crankcase, elementary differences mainly relate to the revision of the turbocharger concept, the combustion process and the cylinder heads.
The MAN E3872 achieves an electrical efficiency of up to 44.4% in the natural gas variant and an overall efficiency of up to 90% in combined heat and power operation. In biogas operation, the values are up to 43.5% electric and 89% total, making the motor ideal for both classic CHP applications and for use in biomass plants eligible for funding.
Depending on the version, the MAN E3872 falls below the strict emission limits of 250 mg and 500 mg NOx per standard cubic metre – and thus meets the current requirements for use as part of the German government’s biomass package.
MAN Genuine Remanufactured Engines – Quality, Economy and Sustainability in Harmony
Another highlight at Agritechnica 2025 is the presentation of a D2676 engine with oil pan support structure that has been overhauled by the MAN Remanufacturing process. This unit is used in the Fendt 1000 Vario and is offered by AGCO as a REMAN engine – recognizable by the corresponding logo on the exhibit. The cutaway model MAN D2676 on display vividly illustrates the differences between a used engine and a fully refurbished one. In addition, the MAN portfolio for original factory-remanufactured engines includes other types – from D1556 to D4276 to D2862 – for a wide range of applications such as tractors, forage harvesters, combine harvesters and shredders. This underlines MAN Engines’ expertise as a provider of sustainable and high-performance drive solutions for the agriculture of tomorrow.
