Yes, when at low revs, no matter how good your torque curve is, your power is going to drop rapidly, it's full power band is very narrow, similar to an old ford 7600, but at much lower revs.Must study in more detail but that power curve drops sharply
The thing that makes it useful now is the massive advance in gearbox technology, a Vario gearbox doesn't need an engine with a wide power band, it just needs power and a good torque curve, the gearbox can now compensate for the narrow power band.
