The register lists here five versions with 1,191 to 1,310 kW rated output at 1,710 to 1,800 rpm. The 18-cylinder V engine measures 130 mm bore and 150 mm stroke, maximum torque ranges from 6,318 to 7,316 Nm. The engines are direct-injection, turbocharged, Tier 2 certified and fall in the power category above 560 to 2,237 kW.

As an eighteen-cylinder unit, the 18V2000G85 forms the strongest version of the Series 2000 range listed in this register and covers the upper edge of the power spectrum for standby and island-grid generator sets, where it competes in the megawatt class with engines from the mtu Series 4000 and other makers.

On a used purchase, operating hours and adherence to mtu's service intervals count, along with the condition of the turbocharger and charge-air cooler, the tightness of the high-pressure injection system, coolant quality and the condition of the generator coupling; parts and service run through the worldwide mtu service network of Rolls-Royce Power Systems.
