Signing Ceremony of the power pack development project between SSM & Tumosan
24 March 2015
Reception at the Italian Consulate on Monday night to mark Turkey-Italy Industry Day, Demir said he had negotiated with ItalianDefence Ministry Undersecretary Gioacchino Alfano over possible cooperation opportunities
We spoke what we can do with new projects involving helicopters, aircraft and ships. We will bring our companies together and let them see what kind of opportunities are available," Demir noted.
Italian Defence Ministry Undersecretary Gioacchino Alfano, underscored the strength of ties between two countries and said that Italy differs with its expertise on defence and aviation sectors compared to other countries trying to establish partnerships with Turkey.
"We would like to bring our technology, create partnership and invest here rather than just selling some products," Alfano said.
Although above does not mention the Tanks, rumor says Italian industry especially the Fiat hopes to take part in Power pack development project, As Italy already developed a 1600hp tank engine and Tumosan is long time producer of Fiat diesel engines.
Fiat-Iveco MTCA 12V 950 kW (1,270 hp)
Ariete MBT
The Ariete is powered by a 25.8-litre turbo-charged Fiat-Iveco MTCA 12-cylinder diesel engine in a Vee configuration rated at 937 kilowatts (1,250 hp) at 2,300 rpm, with a maximum torque of 4,615 N·m at 1,600 rpm[2] driving through a ZF LSG3000 automatic transmission, with four forward gears and two reverse, allowing for a top cruising speed of 65 km/h and a 0–32 km/h acceleration in 6 s. The computer-controlled transmission allows it to climb grades rated up to 60%, and can ford waterways of up to 1.25 m on-the-fly. The entire engine and transmission assembly can be replaced in under 1 hour
As an improvement, Iveco developed a new version of the MTCA engine. The stroke was lengthened, increasing displacement to 30 litres, with a new common rail direct fuel injection system along a new double turbocharger, increasing power output to 1,200 kW (1,600 hp) at 1,800 rpm (with an electronically reduced torque of 5,500 N·m, maintained from 1,100 to 1,800 rpm to reduce damage to the transmission) and further reducing fuel consumption. The new engine had to be adopted during the first general revision of the existing vehicles, but seems to have been blocked by technical and financial problems. As for the armour, Oto Melara developed two different sets (with different thickness) of adjunctive armour, shown for the first time at Eurosatory 2002.
