Engine Mercedes OM926LA

Mercedes-Benz produces diesel engines. The four-stroke engine has a displacement of 7201 cubic centimeters, or 435 cubic inches. It is one of several 900 engines that were developed to replace the 300 series engines following the 1980s crisis.

In particular, the OM 926 LA, which debuted in 1998, took the place of the OM 366 A, which had six cylinders and 170 horsepower. The 300 series engines were replaced by the 900 series with the implementation of Euro II environmental standards. During the 1980s, the 300 series was widely used on trucks and heavy machinery. Combine harvesters use OM926LA. The turbo version of the engine is denoted by the letter “A.” Specifically, the CLAAS Tucano combine harvester is powered by the OM 926 LA.
