The 16V4000P83 comes from Rolls Royce Solutions America. Production: 2012-2015. The fuel is 300-500 ppm Low Sulfur Diesel. The rated output is 2,464 kW. The engine is turbocharged. The engine meets emissions stage Tier 2. Fuel reaches the combustion chamber through direct injection. The charge air is cooled by air or coolant. Charging is by a wastegate turbocharger. It is a four-stroke diesel engine. The cylinders are arranged in a V. Rated output across the Rolls Royce Solutions America range ranges from 284 to 3,490 kW; the 16V4000P83 sits in the upper part of that range with 2,464 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the 16V4000C65 below it with 2,400 kW and the 20V4000G43 3B above it with 2,490 kW. 190 Rolls Royce Solutions America models across 6 series are on record.

Rolls-Royce Solutions America – other nonroad diesel engines: the collective page of the MTU 1600 and 4000 ranges outside the named models, 284 to 3,490 kW from six- to twenty-cylinders, Tier 2 to Tier 4 Final

Rolls-Royce Solutions, trading as MTU until 2021, headquartered in Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance, builds heavy diesel engines for standby generator sets, rail and marine propulsion and mining equipment; US certification runs through the national subsidiary Rolls-Royce Solutions America. This page gathers the engines the register could not assign to a named range, predominantly from the 1600 series (model codes such as 10V1600 and 12V1600, with cylinder count before the V) plus a handful of twelve-cylinders from the 4000 series; the suffix letters A, C, G and T denote, under MTU's system, different applications from standby power to continuous duty.

The register lists here 165 versions with 284 to 3,490 kW rated output at 1,200 to 2,100 rpm, from six- to twenty-cylinders, predominantly in V configuration, with 122 to 170 mm bore and 150 to 210 mm stroke, torques from 692.4 to 18,986 Nm. The Tier 2 emission stage dominates with 107 versions, a sign of older certifications still being marketed; the power category above 560 kW accounts for well over 130 versions combined and by far the largest share.

Engines of this size drive standby generator sets for data centres and hospitals, mining equipment and marine propulsion; alongside Caterpillar and Cummins, Rolls-Royce Solutions ranks among the leading suppliers of heavy diesel power in the megawatt range.

On a used purchase of these large engines, the operating-hours history and maintenance log count, the condition of turbocharger and charge-air cooler, the injection system and its high-pressure pumps, the cooling system, and on the newer Tier 4 versions the SCR exhaust aftertreatment; given the high capital outlay, a professional engine analysis (oil analysis, compression test) before purchase is worthwhile, parts run through the MTU/Rolls-Royce service network.
