The first thing you notice about the New YEG series is that there is so little noise. Yanmar's own CAE techniques have gauged the stiffness of materials just right and damped radiant noise. Those methods have also produced the perfect muffler volumes and optimum use of sound isolation materials. It all adds up to extra-low noise that is ideal for use in urban and residential areas. The all-round people-friendliness is obvious in the exhaust data, too, thanks to the Yanmar TNV engines.

The New YEG150 and YEG200 satisfy EPA Tier 2. They feature even better flow mixing in the main chamber and the special mouth around the injector, plus efficient use of incoming air for cleaner burning and low emissions. The New YEG300 / 400 / 500 give the air and fuel charging more fluid energy. The swirl continues during combustion for even better mixing and lower emissions.The New YEG series is kind to the environment. Beside low noise and emissions, it contains no asbestos, mercury, polybrominated biphenyl, polybrominated biphenyl ether or cadmium. The use of safe materials was a core theme from the word go.

Full attention is given to the fine details of safety and dependability that count for so much. The output terminals are covered and placed well way from the instrument panel to prevent electric shocks etc. An earth terminal is included. All rotating parts are well covered, too, for accident-free operation. The use of damper coils in the brushless, AVR generation increases reliability still further by equalizing wave distortion.
