With the recent launching of the Sabre 422GM, the Sabre Genset engine range now offers a choice of six models with net engine power inputs spanning from 24.2kWm to 161kWm. The line-up today comprises two six-cylinder, six-litre engines - the Sabre 6TG2AM and the Sabre 6TWGM - two four-cylinder, four-litre models - the Sabre 4GM and the Sabre 4TGM - one four-cylinder, three-litre engine - the Sabre 700GM - and the new 422GM four-cylinder, 2.2 litre power pack.

The most powerful genset engine in the current range, is the turbocharged, charge air-cooled 6TWGM. It delivers a maximum net engine power of 138kWm at 1,500rpm and 161kWm at 1,800rpm, while the turbocharged 6TG2AM provides 101.5kWm at 1,800rpm.

The 6TWGM incorporates the Fastram combustion system, boosting the output, reducing the fuel consumption and lowering noise emissions, while the 6TG2AM utilises the Quadram combustion system, noted for its high output, low fuel consumption and low noise level.

An additional feature of the 6TWGM is that it incorporates an electronic governor that provides close control. This means that the rated speed can be set to either 1,500rpm or 1,800rpm, allowing standard builds to operate at either 50Hz or 60Hz. The extended service interval on the 6TWGM includes a 250-hour or once a year oil change, which is extended to 400 hours for the 6TG2AM.

The four-cylinder Sabre genset engines share many of the premium build characteristics of the six-cylinder models. The turbocharged 4TGM delivers a maximum net engine power output 75.5 kWm at 1,500rpm and 88.5kWm at 1,800rpm, and the naturally aspirated 4GM produces 43.5kWm at 1,500rpm, and 51kWm at 1,800rpm. Both models are based on the 1000 Series, utilise the Quadram combustion system and offer economic and durable electrical power generation and have 400-hour cost saving, extended service intervals. Like all Sabre genset and propulsion power engines, they boast impressively low noise levels and fuel economy that Sabre describes as "exceptional".

The naturally aspirated 700GM was, until the recent unveiling of the 422Gm, the smallest genset engine in the Sabre line-up. It delivers maximum net engine power output of 30.0kWm at 1,500rpm, and 35.0kWm at 1,800rpm. The 700GM shares with the 6TWGM the electronic governor that provides close control whereby the rated speed can be set to either 1,500 or 1,800rpm.

The latest addition to the offering, the naturally aspirated 422GM, delivers a maximum net engine power output of 20.0kWm at 1,500rpm, and 24.2kWm at 1,800rpm. Both it and the 700GM boast a 500-hour or once a year service intervals.

All of the current generation of Sabre genset engines feature single-sided servicing that ensures easy access and reduced maintenance downtime. The engines are designed to operate in ambient temperatures of up to the 50 degrees C mark and seawater temperatures of up to 38 degrees C. They are also fitted with a fuelled starting aid for temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees C.
