The Explorer series was created within the SAME-Lamborghini-Hürlimann (SLH) group, formed in 1979, as a compact mid-range line sharing engine and transmission technology across the group's brands. It was built from 1986 to 1998 across two generations (I and II).

The register lists 8 live models, from the EXPLORER 60 (DT) to the EXPLORER 90 II (DT), with outputs from 44.1 to 66.2 kW, weights from 2,540 to 3,110 kg, and displacement from 3,000 to 4,000 cm3, across three- and four-cylinder engines.

Like many SLH-era ranges, the Explorer series used group-standard engines with displacement growing in steps across the range — a typical feature of the modularisation SAME pursued after taking over Lamborghini and Hürlimann.

In 1995 the group became part of SAME Deutz-Fahr (SDF), under which each individual brand continues to be run today.

The Explorer engine's standard air-oil cooling needs no radiator, coolant or water pump, making it immune to frost damage and coolant leaks, but it does require a clean, well-ventilated cooling fan whose intakes must be kept clear on dusty jobs. Buyers of a used example should check for dirt build-up on the fan housing and oil-cooler fins, since inadequate cooling airflow leads to overheating on these engines, and a warped cylinder head is an expensive repair on an engine this age.
