Economic power

• Individual four valve per cylinder heads give optimised gas flows, whilst digitally governed unit fuel injectors ensure ultra-fine fuel atomisation and hence controlled rapid combustion, for efficiency and economy
• Commonality of components with other engines in the 4000 Series family allows reduced parts stocking levels

Reliable power

• l Developed and tested using latest engineering techniques
• l Piston temperature are controlled by an advanced gallery jet cooling system
• l All engines are tolerant of a wide range of temperatures without derate

Clean, efficient power

• Exceptional power to weight ratio and compact size for easier transportation and installation
• New designed radiator assemblies with corrosion inhibiting powder coated finish; fewer pipe joints and easier access to reduce maintenance times
