Perkins has expanded its industrial engine range with the launch of four new product platforms. The 9-18 litre range enables construction equipment manufacturers to benefit from Perkins’ proven performance and engine durability up to 597 kW (800 hp).
The addition of a 9 liter 1700 Series, a 13 liter 2200 Series, a 15 liter 2500 Series and an 18 liter 2800 Series, more than doubles the power range previously offered by Perkins, extending it to 8.2-597 kW (11-800 hp). From the compact 0.5 liter to the powerful 18 liter engines, equipment manufacturers can take advantage of Perkins’ comprehensive engine range.
Andy Zuckerman, Americas Sales and Distribution Director, said: “We’ve developed a modular engine architecture which delivers the right performance, while enabling customers to develop single machine designs adaptable to multiple emissions standards.
On show at ConExpo 2017, the 9.3 liter 1700 Series, is a six-cylinder turbocharged and aftercooled unit with direct injection and a fully electronic control system that will meet EU Stage V, U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final emission standards. With a power range of 250-340 kW (335-456 hp) it’s the ideal choice for construction applications.
