Ural Diesel Engine Plant (UDEP) produces a promising series of DM-185 high-speed multi-purpose engines, which are installed on ships, railway locomotives and quarry vehicles. However, imported components are still used for the production of such engines, in particular pistons from a well-known German company. In 2018, the plant turned to scientists from South Ural State University for help − they needed to create an original piston from domestic materials for the manufacture of high-speed engines.
