QSK60
Cummins

Unmatched Power and Reliability for Mission-Critical Applications
The Cummins QSK60 is a state-of-the-art, high-horsepower diesel engine designed to deliver exceptional performance, durability, and fuel efficiency in the world's most demanding environments. As a V16, 60.2-liter powerhouse, it provides robust and reliable power for critical commercial, industrial, and marine applications where uptime is non-negotiable.
The QSK60 is engineered as a prime mover for high-value capital equipment across multiple sectors:
Power Generation (G-Drive): The premier choice for large-scale diesel generator sets. It provides dependable prime, continuous, and standby power for data centers, industrial plants, commercial facilities, and critical infrastructure, with specific ratings for unlimited-hour Data Center Continuous (DCC) operation.
Marine Propulsion & Auxiliary: A robust power source for commercial and recreational vessels. It is certified for main propulsion in workboats and super yachts, as well as for auxiliary generator sets on board, meeting stringent marine classification standards.
Mining & Heavy Haulage: Proven in demanding off-highway applications such as large mining haul trucks (e.g., Komatsu 830E), where its durability and upgradeability ensure maximum productivity and lower total cost of ownership.
Advanced Modular Common Rail (MCRS) Fuel System: Modern QSK60 engines feature the Cummins Modular Common Rail System. This technology maintains constant, high injection pressure regardless of engine speed, leading to superior combustion efficiency, significantly reduced noise and vibration, excellent low-end torque, and lower emissions. Earlier models utilized the reliable HPI-PT system, which can be upgraded to MCRS for enhanced performance and longer engine life.
Optimized Air Handling with Two-Stage Turbocharging: Select configurations employ an advanced two-stage turbocharging system. This setup uses series turbochargers with intermediate cooling to dramatically increase air density and intake efficiency. The result is superior performance, improved fuel economy, and exceptional high-altitude operation capability.
Robust Engine Architecture for Maximum Uptime: Built for longevity, the engine features a heavy-duty cast-iron cylinder block designed for continuous operation. Key components like Ferrous Cast Ductile (FCD) pistons provide exceptional strength and durability to withstand high cylinder pressures. The design targets extended life-to-overhaul intervals, with documented cases of "Advantage" upgraded engines achieving over 32,000 hours of service in mining applications.
Intelligent Electronic Control & Integration: Managed by the full-authority Quantum System electronics, the engine offers precise control, comprehensive diagnostics, and complete protection. For generator sets, the integrated PowerCommand digital control provides seamless system management, automatic paralleling, and compliance with critical standards like NFPA 110.
