The PC 2.5 engine, the improved founding engine…

The first PC1 engine is developed in 1951. With a bore of 400 mm, it develops 180 kW per cylinder. Its first marine application appears in 1955, aboard the ship Borée (two engines). The PC2 is launched at the start of the 1960s. Though it keeps the same 400 mm bore, power output is increased to 310 kW per cylinder – an increase that becomes a regular feature of the engine’s improvements in its subsequent versions: the PC2.3 in 1971, PC2.5 in 1973
