STX Engine is showing off its range of engine systems at the Show, including a hybrid engine system, a performance-enhancing diesel engine for the K1A2 tank, a diesel engine for the K9 self-propelled howitzer, and the intelligent seashore surveillance radar-II.
According to company officials, the new products on display have evoked plenty of interest from foreign delegations as well as others at the event. Making its public debut at the event is the hybrid engine system, which is a combination of a military equipment diesel engine hybrid system with condition-based maintenance. This offers improved fuel efficiency, instant acceleration, and an optimal maintenance system.
In May last year, the company had announced that it was collaborating with German defence firm Vincorion to develop the hybrid engine system for next-generation combat vehicles. Company officials had said that the hybrid engine would improve the operational scope of military vehicles, this making them a more attracting proposition.
The company established a factory for defence purposes in 1988. Since then, it has grown in size to become one of the largest defence diesel engine manufacturers. In May 2021, the military and marine diesel engine manufacturer was chosen to localize the German diesel engine of K-9 self-propelled howitzers produced by Hanwha Defence. The company is currently working to develop engines for armoured vehicles that will be fully local, including raw materials and parts.
The company’s defence industry diesel engines are designed with a focus on being small, lightweight, and having high output. The engine parts are made from aluminum and high strength forged steel materials. The company manufactures and provides diesel engines for main battle tank, self-propelled artillery and armored vehicles to ROK Army, for destroyer, frigate, patrol vessel and support vessel to ROK Navy, for patrol vessel to Korea Coast Guard as well.
