Beta 150_

The Beta 150 has been specially developed for commercial Fishing Boats, Launches, Wide
Beamers and Dutch Barges. It is a heavy duty – 6 cylinder – naturally aspirated – direct
injection – marine propulsion diesel engine. Its outstanding asset is the slow speed / high
torque of 450Nm developed at 1,700 rev/min from an engine of solid construction that is not
only smooth and quiet but also economic with direct injection. This engine is ‘Recreational
Craft Directive’ emission compliant, and EPA compliant.
