NTA855-C280
Cummins

The Cummins NTA855-C280 is a powerful and reliable 14-liter, inline 6-cylinder diesel engine designed for demanding industrial and construction applications. Renowned for its durability, high torque output, and efficient performance, this turbocharged and intercooled powerhouse delivers 209 kW (280 HP) of robust power, making it the prime mover of choice for heavy-duty machinery where productivity and uptime are critical.
The table below summarizes the key performance and dimensional data for the NTA855-C280 engine.
The NTA855-C280 is engineered to be a versatile and dependable power source for a wide range of capital-intensive equipment. Its primary applications include:
Construction & Earthmoving Machinery: This engine is a proven and common power source for heavy-duty bulldozers and crawler dozers, such as the Shantui SD7 and SD22 models.
Industrial Power Units: Ideal for driving high-capacity industrial pumps, air compressors, and drilling rigs that require continuous, reliable power under heavy loads.
Generator Sets: Suitable as a prime mover for diesel generator sets, providing dependable prime or standby electrical power for various sectors.
Proven PT Fuel System with STC: The engine utilizes the legendary Cummins Pressure-Time (PT) fuel system, known for its mechanical simplicity, reliability, and precise fuel metering. Coupled with the Step Timing Control (STC) system, it optimizes injection timing across all operating conditions, ensuring better combustion, maximum power, and improved fuel economy.
Integrated & Durable Engine Architecture: A key design feature is the integrated cylinder block and head design. This innovative approach reduces the total number of parts by approximately 40% compared to similar engines, which dramatically minimizes potential failure points and virtually eliminates water and oil leaks, leading to exceptional reliability and extended service life.
Efficient Turbocharged and Intercooled System: Equipped with a Holset turbocharger and a water-to-air intercooler, the system forces denser, cooler air into the cylinders. This significantly increases power density and combustion efficiency while reducing thermal stress on engine components.
Robust Construction for Longevity: The engine is built with forged steel camshaft and crankshaft and a high-strength cylinder block for maximum durability. Features like replaceable wet cylinder liners facilitate maintenance and lower long-term ownership costs.
