6BTAA5.9-C180
Cummins

A Benchmark of Reliability and Performance for Demanding Applications
The Cummins 6BTAA5.9-C180 is a robust, high-performance inline 6-cylinder diesel engine designed for durability and efficiency in rigorous industrial and construction environments. As part of the globally renowned B Series platform, this engine delivers 132 kW (180 HP) of dependable power, offering an exceptional balance of strong torque, fuel economy, and low total cost of ownership. Engineered to meet the challenges of continuous, high-load operations, it is the trusted power source for a wide range of heavy-duty mobile equipment.
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Engine Model | Cummins 6BTAA5.9-C180 |
| Configuration | In-line 6 Cylinders, 4-Stroke |
| Displacement | 5.9 Liters |
| Bore × Stroke | 102 mm × 120 mm |
| Rated Power | 132 kW (180 HP) @ 2500 rpm |
| Peak Torque | 700 N.m @ 1400-1500 rpm |
| Aspiration | Turbocharged and Air-to-Air Intercooled (ATAAC) |
| Fuel System | Direct Injection, Mechanical Governor (e.g., BYC P7100 pump) |
| Cooling System | Water-Cooled |
| Emission Compliance | Euro Stage II / Equivalent Standards |
This engine is engineered as the prime mover for a diverse array of heavy-duty machinery, including:
Construction Machinery: Excavators, wheel loaders, skid-steer loaders, compaction equipment (rollers), and mobile crushers.
Material Handling Equipment: Forklifts, container handlers, and heavy-duty industrial lift trucks.
Agricultural Equipment: Power units for large agricultural machinery requiring reliable torque.
Specialized Vehicles: Drilling rigs, concrete pump trucks, and other custom-engineered vocational vehicles.
Advanced Turbocharging and Intercooling (ATAAC): The engine features a highly efficient turbocharger paired with an Air-to-Air Charge Cooler (ATAAC). This system forces more, denser air into the combustion chamber, resulting in significantly increased power output, improved fuel efficiency, and lower thermal loads for enhanced durability.
High-Performance Combustion System: Utilizing a four-valve cylinder head design, the engine achieves superior air intake and exhaust flow. This optimizes the combustion process for cleaner burning, better fuel economy, and higher power density compared to two-valve designs.
Proven Mechanical Fuel System & Governor: The engine employs a reliable, mechanically controlled in-line fuel injection pump (such as the BYC P7100 series) with a mechanical RSV governor. This system is renowned for its simplicity, durability across various fuel qualities, precise speed control, and ease of maintenance in field conditions.
Durable Engine Architecture for Long Life: Built with robustness in mind, key features include forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods, replaceable wet cylinder liners for excellent heat dissipation and serviceability, and a heavy-duty gear train. The cylinder block is designed for maximum strength, ensuring reliable operation under severe shock loads and vibration.
