QSX15-C540
Cummins
The Cummins QSX15-C540 is a 15-liter, 6-cylinder heavy-duty diesel engine built for ultimate performance and durability in the most demanding environments. As a 540 horsepower variant of the proven QSX15 series, this engine is engineered to deliver robust power, superior fuel efficiency, and low total cost of ownership for critical mining, construction, and industrial power generation applications.
The QSX15-C540 is engineered to be the prime mover for heavy machinery and equipment where maximum power and uptime are critical. Specific applications include:
Construction & Earthmoving: Powers large excavators, wheel loaders, graders, and rock drills.
Mining & Quarrying: A reliable power source for mining haul trucks (e.g., Terex TR50), rotary drilling rigs (e.g., Sunward SWDM models), and mobile crushing plants.
Power Generation (G-Drive): Suitable for high-capacity prime and standby generator sets for industrial facilities and projects.
Specialized Heavy Vehicles: Used in equipment such as heavy-duty crane carriers and beam transporters.
1. Advanced XPI (Xtra-High Pressure Injection) Fuel System
The engine utilizes the Cummins XPI high-pressure common rail fuel system, which delivers extremely precise fuel injection at ultra-high pressures. This technology enables multiple injection events per cycle, resulting in superior combustion efficiency for excellent fuel economy, lower emissions, and remarkable power density.
2. Integrated Emissions Control Technology
To meet stringent global standards, it features a fully integrated aftertreatment system with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and a Cummins Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). This system effectively reduces Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), achieving over 50% more torque than previous generations while simultaneously improving fuel economy.
3. Intelligent Air Management with VGT Turbocharging
Equipped with a Cummins Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT™), the engine provides optimal boost pressure across the entire operating range. The electric actuation allows for infinite adjustment, delivering superior throttle response and enabling a single turbocharger to do the work where competitive engines often require two.
4. Robust and Integrated Design for Maximum Durability
The engine is built on a robust platform with an integrated block design that eliminates many external fluid lines, reducing potential leak points and enhancing reliability. Combined with heavy-duty core components and extended service intervals, this design ensures exceptional durability and a low total cost of ownership in severe operating conditions.
