Yanmar 3-Cylinder, TNV Series diesel engine
The 3046R is powered by a Yanmar 3TNV86CHT three-cylinder engine displacing 1.496 liters and making 45.3 gross horsepower. The powerplant is turbocharged with direct injection using a common rail system (CRS), has an electronic ECU, and uses a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to achieve EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4) compliance. The emissions system operates in one of three modes: passive, active and parked. In normal operation, the passive mode eliminates most particulate matter (PM) trapped in the DPF through natural heat from the exhaust stream.
