In the history of automobile technology people invented number of miracles which were very important to human activities. In the field of engine, it is really a vast area which is full of advanced and high-tech inventories. Among those there are several advanced designs; The Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C is considered as the most powerful diesel engine ever builds. Basically the engine is turbo charged two stock diesel engines which contains 6 to 14 cylinders. The engine is designed for huge container carriers (ships).

The usage of the engine is for huge container ships which needed high power single engines. The engine is available with 6 to 14 cylinders as the user needs. There are specially designed oil pumps and injectors for keep the engine cooled. It was a new design that is not usually using in the industry.
U seems an expert on this track, buddy
