Everllence’s first order for its 175DF-M engine includes two 12V175DF-M, one 16V175DF-M variable-speed yacht gensets, and methanol fuel-supply systems.
Everllence received its first order for its dual-fuel methanol engine, 175DF-M, for a superyacht under construction at an undisclosed European shipyard. By July 2027, it will deliver two 12V175DF-M and one 16V175DF-M variable-speed yacht generator sets, including methanol fuel-supply systems.
“We are happy to announce that a leading superyacht builder has selected the 175 dual-fuel methanol engine as its latest project,” said Dr Alexander Knafl, Head of R&D, Four-Stroke at Everllence. “The engine features very high methanol-combustion efficiency, low emissions, and super-high reliability. We are furthermore proud to be able to say that this is a first order for a high-speed dual-fuel methanol engine dedicated to diesel-electric and mechanical propulsion.”
Since the engine went into development in 2023, Everllence has received interest in its 175DF-M engine from the ferry, cruise, offshore, tug, superyacht, and governmental segments and has started working with several customers on concrete vessel concepts, including newbuilds that are methanol-capable on delivery, and on methanol-ready concepts that allow future conversion of current ship designs via a retrofit scenario.
“The customer’s decision to order three 175DF-M variable-speed GenSets for a methanol-diesel-electric propulsion setup reflects its strong confidence in our methanol engine technology,” said Florian Keiler, Head of High-Speed Sales, Marine Four-Stroke at Everllence. “The combination of advanced performance, future-proof design, and Everllence’s clear commitment to sustainable shipping – embodied in our mission, ‘Moving big things to Zero’ – was key to this milestone. We are convinced that the 175DF-M will play a pivotal role across a wide range of marine applications powered by carbon-neutral fuels.”
Based on computational simulations and the optimization of the combustion process on the test bed, the 175DF-M will achieve methanol shares in combination with a high-power density and high fuel efficiency.

In early July, MAN Energy Solutions announced it is now operating under a new name: Everllence. The new brand identity is a global effort and combines “ever” and “excellence”—two central attributes of the company's self-image.
“Our name change is the logical next step in the execution of our ‘Moving big things to zero’ strategy, which focuses on decarbonization and efficiency solutions, especially for those sectors of the global economy that have to deal with hard-to-abate, climate-damaging emissions,” said CEO Uwe Lauber. “Today, we are no longer known in the market for just engines and turbomachinery, but also as a supplier of large heat pumps, carbon capture and storage, as a driver of climate-neutral shipping, and as part of the hydrogen ramp-up. This is what we want to express with our new name, Everllence.”
