Liebherr Machines Bulle – other nonroad diesel engines: the collective page of Swiss large diesel engines from 140 to 4,290 kW, four- to 20-cylinders for mining haul trucks and construction machinery
Liebherr Machines Bulle SA is the Swiss engine plant of the Liebherr Group in Bulle, canton Fribourg, which since the 2010s has developed its own large diesel engines to make the group's own mining haul trucks and construction machinery less dependent on outside engines such as Cummins or MTU. This page gathers the versions the register could not assign to a named range, from the mid-size D9xx range to the large V20 engines of the D9812 family; the four-digit designations such as D9508 or D9620 distinguish individual engine variants by the manufacturer's own logic, though their exact meaning cannot be resolved from outside.

The register lists here 75 versions with 140 to 4,290 kW rated output at 1,500 to 2,100 rpm, from four- to 20-cylinders with 126 to 175 mm bore and 150 to 215 mm stroke. Maximum torque ranges from 990 to 22,759 Nm. Among the emission stages, Tier 4 (Final or Phase-in) leads ahead of the older Tier 2; the power category above 560 kW under 40 CFR 1039 forms the clear majority of this collective page.
The large V-engines on this page chiefly power Liebherr's own mining haul trucks, large-class hydraulic excavators and crawler cranes; in the mining segment Liebherr thus competes directly with the established large-engine makers Cummins, MTU/Rolls-Royce Power Systems and Caterpillar.
On a used purchase of these large engines, the documented service history of the turbocharger (waste-gate or fixed design, depending on the model), the injection system and the cooling circuit matter above all, since repairs at this engine size cause high downtime costs; on the older Tier 2 versions without exhaust aftertreatment, oil consumption and compression values also count. Service and spare parts run through Liebherr's own workshop network for mining and construction machinery technology.
