VTE Paguro 18000 is a high-power marine diesel generator designed to provide reliable onboard electrical power for yachts, motorboats, and other demanding marine applications. It delivers 18 kW of continuous electrical power at 60 Hz and operates at 3600 RPM. The generator is powered by a Lombardini LDW 1404 four-cylinder diesel engine and uses a water-cooled synchronous brushless alternator.

The Paguro 18000 is engineered around a combination of high power, compact dimensions, quiet operation, and low vibration. Both the engine and alternator are water-cooled, while the reinforced fiberglass soundproof capsule and high-density acoustic insulation help reduce operating noise. A dual anti-vibration system further reduces vibration transmitted to the vessel.
