Vetus consider requirements such as environmental protection, reliability, durability, fuel efficiency and low-vibration operation absolutely essential.
In all cases, the smallest possible installation sizes, excellent power-to-weight-ratio and a good accessibility of serviceable components are central features. All Vetus Diesel engines are fresh-water cooled and may also be supplied for keel-cooling.
The Vetus Diesel range includes two cylinder engines (11hp, 13hp, 16hp), a three cylinder engine (27hp) and four cylinder engines (33hp, 42hp, 52hp, 65hp, 80hp). The new VF Series engines (140hp, 170hp, 220hp, 250hp) are ultramodern and compact and designed for conventional or sterndrive applications.
The Vetus Deutz range features four cylinder engines (80hp, 114hp, 140hp) and six cylinder engines (170hp, 210hp, 231hp, 286hp).

Three two-cylinder engines feature in the Vetus line-up. The M2.C5 is an 11hp unit which is lower revving (3000rpm) and quieter then other engines in its class. The 13hp M2.D5 and 16hp M2.06 are similarly market-leading engines with its twin cylinders for smoother running, indirect cooling for long life and a Mitsubishi base engine for dependability... is it worth scrimping when you can buy Vetus superiority?

Dimensions shown for engines are for the maximum in each direction: in most cases the maximum width is defined by the outer limits of the engine mounts and the actaul width of the engine itself may be smaller than the dimension shown. Not all gearbox options or ratios are shown and those that are shown may have been rounded to the nearest decimal point; engines are also available without gearbox.
Vetus generators are available in both 3,000 rpm (GHS) and 1,500 rpm (GLS) versions. Models are available in single phase (230V) or three phase (230v/400v). All generators (apart from the GHS4) are available with or without a soundbox. Standard scope of supply includes the exhaust system, water intake kit and a remote control panel and 6 extension cable.
