... = MTU-883 (1,500hp? 2,700hp?)
General Dynamics Land Systems, meanwhile, is considering entering the engine competition with a diesel system the company manufactures at a facility in Muskegon, Mich.
"We are reviewing our options" on proposing the MTU 883, under the name GD 883, for the Abrams-Crusader program, said Keating. The company is licensed to build these engines by the German engine conglomerate MTU München.

The Marine Corps' General Dynamics [GD]-built Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAAV) program is moving closer to its December engineering and manufacturing development(EMD) decision, following a 1,000-hour test run of its DaimlerChrysler [DCX]-built engine, according to a GD executive and a statement.
Last week, DaimlerChrysler and GD concluded a seven-month
test cycle for the AAAV's MTU 883 12-cyclinder, 2,700 horsepower diesel engine.
The reason for all that power is when in water mode, AAAV starts
off largely below water.
...
The MTU 883 is also being offered by GD and MTU for the Army's $800 million Abrams-
Crusader Common Engine Program.
