In a world where sustainability and environmental protection are more important than ever, Baudouin is thrilled to announce that our 6F21 marine engine has achieved EPA Tier 3 certification, marking a significant advancement in our commitment to sustainable, high-performance marine solutions. This certification not only demonstrates our dedication to environmental standards but also reinforces Baudouin’s role as a leader in clean maritime technology.

EPA Tier 3: Setting the Standard for Cleaner Marine Engines

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Tier 3 standard is designed to cut harmful emissions, including nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO). Achieving this certification for the 6F21 involved integrating advanced emissions control technologies that reduce pollutants without compromising the engine’s powerful performance.

For Baudouin, securing Tier 3 compliance marks a dedicated step toward a cleaner marine industry. Our Tier 3-certified engines, including the 6F21 and 6M33.3, represent the forefront of cleaner maritime solutions that support both operational demands and environmental stewardship.

The 6F21 Engine: Power Meets Environmental Responsibility

The 6F21 marine engine is certified EPA Tier 3 for recreational vessels, ensuring it meets the necessary environmental standards for use in U.S. waters, while still providing impressive performance.

The six-cylinder 6F21 offers:

  • Certified Power: Delivering up to 735 kW (1,000 horsepower), the 6F21 is ideal for applications ranging from luxury yachts to workboats.
  • Advanced Emission Controls: Equipped with dual GT45 and GT55 turbochargers, a high-capacity cooling system, and precise fuel injection via the WPCP03 pump, the 6F21 ensures efficient, clean combustion. Baudouin’s WISE 10 Engine Control Unit (ECU) optimizes fuel usage and emissions management for peak performance.

The 6M33.3 Engine

The 6M33.3 engine is a more robust solution, ideal for demanding marine applications. With a displacement of 19.8 liters and a power output of up to 1,020 horsepower at 2,000 RPM, it delivers exceptional performance for workboats, tugboats, and other heavy-duty vessels.

The 6M33.3 is also EPA Tier 3 certified for commercial vessels, making it an excellent choice for operators who need powerful engines that also meet stringent emissions requirements for use in U.S. waters.

A Step Toward a Sustainable Future

This certification allows Baudouin’s engines to be fully compliant for use in U.S. waters, giving marine professionals a high-performing solution that aligns with environmental standards. For Baudouin, EPA Tier 3 compliance is a milestone in our journey toward sustainable marine power, as we continue to lead the way in environmentally responsible innovation.
