Introduced as a further high-capacity development within the Daihatsu DS engine series, the DS-28 was engineered to meet increasing demands for dependable and higher-output auxiliary power generation on larger commercial vessels. Building upon the proven design principles of earlier DS models, the DS-28 incorporated a reinforced structural framework and enlarged cylinder dimensions, enabling it to deliver consistent performance under continuous and demanding marine operating conditions. With a cylinder bore of 280 mm and a stroke typically in the range of 380–400 mm, the engine was designed to ensure efficient combustion, strong torque delivery and stable long-term operation at sea. The DS-28 was commonly deployed as a generator-drive engine across a wide spectrum of vessel types, including bulk carriers, container ships, tankers and offshore support vessels, but it was also not uncommon for it to be seen as a propulsion engine on offshore tugs. Depending on configuration, the engine generally produced outputs ranging from approximately 1,200 kW to over 2,000 kW, operating at speeds typically between 600 and 900 rpm. 

Although more modern Daihatsu engine generations such as the DK-28 engine have since been developed, the DS-28 continues to remain in operation on some older vessels worldwide, especially in Asia, and are still supported through OEM supply channels, independent spare-parts suppliers and marine engine service providers. With original parts from our own stock, along with access to unused surplus from ship recycling yards and local suppliers, Alang Maritime can supply high quality parts for your Daihatsu DS-28 engines.
