  The OM621 is an inline-four diesel engine produced by Mercedes-Benz, from 1956 to 1968. It was succeeded by the OM615 engine.
  
  ## Design
  
  The OM621 is based on the petrol M121 engine, but features revised camshafts, cylinder head, pistons, and fuel injection system. In 1961, the engine capacity was increased to 2.0 L (1,988 cc) and power was uprated to 55 PS (40 kW) for use in the newly introduced W110 models. After being replaced by the OM615, a 2.2 L (2,197 cc) updated version of the OM621 engine was used solely in Unimog vehicles until 1988.
