The T-14 is powered by a ChTZ 12Н360 (A-85-3A) diesel engine delivering up to 1,500 hp.The engine's theoretical maximum power, not normally used,is 2,000 hp, at the cost of radically decreasing its service life, projected min2,000 hours at nominal 1,500 hp,comparable to other modern tank engines, and up to 10,000 hours at moderated 1,200 hp. The engine is electronically controlled. Operational range is over 500 km . All photos provided by Russia's Defense Ministry
