The CAMC methanol off-road GS13M series engine is a high-performance internal combustion engine focused on the application of clean alternative fuels. It uses M100 methanol as the main fuel and relies on CAMC's mature engine research and manufacturing technology. With its core advantages of environmental protection, high efficiency, and strong adaptability, it is widely used in various scenarios such as generator sets, marine engines, and mining truck machinery. It has passed international certifications such as ISO and BV and has been exported in bulk to more than 60 countries and regions in Eastern Europe, North Africa, Southeast Asia, etc., gaining global user recognition. At the same time, it has attracted well-known European transportation companies to visit and negotiate cooperation multiple times, becoming the preferred equipment in the field of clean energy power and in line with the global trend of low-carbon and environmental protection development. The engine has a displacement of 12.8L, a rated power of 320kW, and engine speeds ranging from 1500-1900rpm. Its power output is strong and stable, and it can easily adapt to harsh working conditions such as heavy loads and long-term continuous operation. Its cylinder diameter stroke is 130 × 161mm, compression ratio is 11.5:1, and it adopts a turbocharged and intercooled intake form to further improve power performance and combustion efficiency. Compared to traditional fuel engines, it has three outstanding advantages: minimal modifications to the original engine, strong adaptability, and the ability to reduce modification costs; The combustion process is cleaner, with no dust, sulfur, or nitrogen compound emissions, and less environmental pollution. It can reduce carbon emissions by more than 15% compared to gasoline; Existing fuel storage and transportation systems can be directly utilized without the need for additional infrastructure investment, significantly reducing user operating costs. Its main technical route covers two methods: mixed combustion and dual fuel injection system, balancing practicality and economy. In response to the characteristics of pure methanol fuel applications, electric spark plug combustion assistance technology is adopted to effectively improve methanol combustion performance, solve pain points such as cold start difficulties and insufficient combustion efficiency. At the same time, by optimizing fuel injector design and adding specialized lubrication improvers, the wear problems caused by low viscosity and low lubricity of methanol are avoided, further improving engine reliability. The engine has a size of 1170x1067x1594mm and a weight of 1180kg. It is compact in structure and easy to operate. After rigorous quality testing, it has a low failure rate and strong durability. Relying on CAMC's comprehensive overseas after-sales service system, it provides efficient, environmentally friendly, economical, and reliable clean power solutions for users in different scenarios around the world, demonstrating CAMC's technical strength and global market competitiveness in the field of clean alternative fuel engines.
